Skip to Recipe The holidays have come and gone, leaving a trail of obesity and broken diets in their wake. I, for one, have no regrets. Sure, none of my pants fit me quite right anymore, but it was worth it. Plus, it’s a great time for some baking experimentation. I came up with this
After being on hiatus last year, the Festival of Chocolate returned to South Florida! This event, which is not to be confused with a similar event that takes place at Fairchild Tropical Garden around this time of the year, is a celebration of all things chocolate. There were plenty of vendors, cooking demonstrations, and fun
Dining out on a budget is one of my favorite pastimes. So, it is only natural that I took advantage of Dine Out Lauderdale, Ft. Lauderdale’s answer to Miami Spice. When you have high-end restaurants offering $35 fixed price meals, it’s hard to pass up. Since it was a place that I have been meaning
About a year ago, someone made me promise to make my New Year’s Resolution to update my blog at least twice a month (one recipe, and one review). I hope I have made him proud. I think 2014 was a great year for The Broke Baker, and I think 2015 will be just as good.

It’s been a while since the food truck craze took off in South Florida. Yet, I haven’t exactly visited very many of them myself. That is kind of a shame, considering the massive amounts of comfort food that these trucks promise. As a food blogger, it was a big failure on my part to ignore
Skip to Recipe Let’s face it – it was only a matter of time before it happened. The candy bar bug has bit me again. After the success of my two previous candy bar cakes (Kit Kat Cake and Twix Cake, anyone?), I just KNEW that I had to keep the streak going. Since I’ve
For South Floridians, the mention of gourmet food will rarely bring to mind the Kendall area. Yet, tucked away out west in Kendall is Chef Adrianne’s Vineyard Restaurant and Wine Bar. It features upscale food with a “wine country” vibe. The restaurant is attached to a tiny strip mall, and is easy to miss if
Taste of Peru, the third in my annual Holy Trinity of Peruvian Gastronomic Festivals, returned yet again. Last year, I was underwhelmed by the turnout. This year, the Peruvians in Miami turned out in full force. Even better, some new vendors made an appearance at the venue. It was truly a testament to the growing
Burgerliscious is back for another year of burger mayhem. Burgerliscious, in which participating Coral Gables restaurants complete to see who makes the best burger, drew a big crowd. As usual, I had to get in on the action and sample what each restaurant had to offer at Burgerliscious 2014.
