Eating out with Instagram: DGS Delicatessen, Birch & Barley, Pupatella and Zengo

I decided to start a new series of posts which I will call Eating out with Instagrams. It'll just be a collection of my instagram photos documenting my adventures in eating out.

This is the first such post!

Above is a photo I took at DGS Delicatessen: my friend Pankti and I had brunch there in the beginning of January. Although I thought lunch at DGS was good, but overpriced, I absolutely

Stonefire Naan: Flatbread with Shrimp, Mango & Yogurt Sauce

This past Friday I came home to a present from Stonefire Authentic Flatbreads: I received three samples of their product to play with in my kitchen. I was excited! I chose the Garlic Naan because although I love naan, I have no desire to make it from scratch at home. I was eager to see how this product measured up to the naan I order at Indian restaurants.

Potato Pesto Pizza Recipe & KitchenAid Food Processor Review

When you live alone in a condo, space is of importance: I try not to have too many kitchen appliances. The ones that I do have, I try to use to make sure they earn their keep {I'm talking about my ice cream maker and panini maker.}
My other favorite appliance is a dual blender and food processor. I bought it over five years ago because my mom told me to. Guess what? She was right: I love it. I

Greek Potato Pizza

Remember the breakfast pizza I wrote about last week? I had half of the pizza crust left and decided to make another pizza with something I've never used as a pizza topping before: potatoes!

Why I've never used potatoes on a pizza is beyond me. After all, I love potatoes. Given a choice of rice, pasta or potatoes, potatoes always win! At first, I considered just making a pizza with olive oil and

Recipe for Breakfast Pizza

There are certain things that I keep on meaning to make in my kitchen, but just haven't yet. Those include short ribs, bread baked in my new Le Creuset, Hasselback potatoes, etc, etc.

This past weekend I finally crossed something off of my list: breakfast pizza.
