Okay, okay, so I know I said that my Rosemary Candied Bacon Grilled Cheese with Balsamic Apples was the best grilled cheese I’ve ever made, but this Gruyere Grilled Cheese with homemade Garlic Kale Chips and White Wine and Rosemary Mushrooms may be my new favorite grilled cheese ever. When I started this grilled cheese …
Growing up in a traditional Filipino family, the kamayan style of eating with your hands is nothing special. There’s no utensils involved – you use just your bare hands to make a tiny mountain out of rice to act as a vehicle for the meat and other food items available.

Quite possibly the greatest movie to reference of all time, Mean Girls was brought into our world by Tina Fey a surprising 10 years ago. Has it truly been that long that we’ve been trying to make fetch happen and practicing our Jingle Bell Rock choreo for every holiday season? In any event, the movie …

My friends have even joked that this blog is basically just me throwing an egg on top of everything, which is partially true, and so I’m fully embracing …
With Ultra Music festival in Miami this weekend and Coachella fast approaching, it is officially one of my personal favorite times of year – festival season! No matter where you are in the country, there’s a good chance there’s a large-scale music festival somewhere in your neck of the woods. From Counterpoint in Atlanta to …
Let me start by saying that I’m really excited about this salad (and I do not normally get excited about salad). Like most of the recipes I post, this Warm Kale Salad with Roasted Beets, Cauliflower, and Goat Cheese came as a dinner experiment that turned out pretty amazing. It’s basically everything you want in …
I first watched Jiro Dreams of Sushi about a year and a half ago as a random selection on Netflix. I had no expectations for the documentary, which profiles Jiro Ono, largely considered the top sushi master in the world. I figured, I love sushi and there seems to be critical acclaim, so why not …
