Mango Season continues in full swing! I continue getting generous donations of ripe mangoes from work. It’s been fun experimenting with recipes to incorporate the mango. This mango flan was one such experiment. It turned out to be a success, and someone requested that I give them the recipe. So, here it is!
Taste of the Caribbean 2014
Don’t tell my Jamaican friends, but I am not particularly fond of Jamaican food (sorry, guys!). Even when a Jamaican restaurant has been highly recommended, I am not particularly impressed when I go and try it. But, my experiences with a certain Caribbean restaurant had led me to believe that I just wasn’t giving “Island
Mini Mango Cheesecakes
It’s Mango Season in South Florida! And, at my new job, my coworkers are not stingy about sharing the wealth. We have been getting bags full of mangoes every day from a coworker’s over-productive tree. But, there are only so many mangoes you can eat as is. And, overripe mangoes are plentiful. We were discussing
Prime 112 (A Review)
In case you don’t already know, I hate the beach. And, not just the beach, but Miami Beach as a whole is just a cesspool of pretense and superficiality. I hate the traffic. I hate the parking. I hate the parade of Botox and silicone. Plus, I look terrible in a swimsuit. That aside, every
Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies
Skip to Recipe! I am not particularly fond of peanut butter. Maybe it was too many peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as a kid. In fact, to me, peanut butter is something that I eat when my calorie counting app tells me that I haven’t eaten enough fat or protein that day. Yet, when done
Burger Battle 2014
Riverwalk’s Burger Battle returned this year, and the competition at Burger Battle 2014 was fierce! As usual, 16 Broward County restaurants threw down the gauntlet to see who makes the best burger. It was a hot, humid evening. But, that didn’t stop anyone from showing up. Veteran competitors, defending champions, and newcomers all faced off.
Yardbird Southern Table and Bar (A Review)
During my search for spots in South Florida that are serious about fried chicken, I came across Yardbird. Then, I almost completely forgot about them, until I went to Swine and had a great experience there. Since both are owned and operated by 50 Eggs, Inc., it was a no-brainer that I needed to try
Burger Beast Burger Brawl 2014
May is National Hamburger Month here in the U.S. What better way to celebrate than with a burger festival? This year, renown South Florida food blogger, Burger Beast, decided to organize the first ever Burger Brawl. For Burger Brawl 2014, he invited 20 restaurants from all over South Florida to showcase their burger-making craft, and
Carrot Cake Cheesecake
Skip to Recipe A lot of times, I get asked how I decide which recipes to post on the blog. There is really no specific thought-process that I follow for this sort of thing. However, I’ve noticed that the majority of my most recent recipe posts have followed a pattern. That is, I make something
Momi Ramen (A Review)
Momi Ramen in Brickell is very easy to miss. In fact, if I had not heard about it from word of mouth, then I would have never even known of its existence. It’s tucked away in one of the little side streets in Brickell. However, once you know what you’re looking for, you’ll know it
