Salsa Rosa.
There is very little better in this world than a taco. The tortilla, the filling, the extras, the practically requisite pool of grease—a taco is one of the culinary realm’s greatest (savory) inventions. Think of the last taco you consumed. Even if it was a relatively low-end taco, (looking at you Flash Taco), the kind [...]

Bacon Cheddar Biscuits.
There is always a moment of guilt when, standing in the kitchen, you’re faced with the option of adding bacon. Bacon to breakfast, bacon to that turkey club, bacon to the mashed potatoes, bacon to the salad…bacon, in its salty crispness, plays extremely well with others. Which means, sometimes the only thing keeping bacon off [...]

CinnaBunBombs [Cinnamon Buns].
Look at those buns. I apologize, that was inappropriate. But these are a baked good made for punning. Sometimes, the pun just can’t stop. Won’t stop. Shouldn’t stop. These cinnamon buns, or rather pecan cinnamon sticky buns, have been a long time coming. Six years in fact. The first tray of cinnamon buns I made [...]

Apple Date Pecan Cheddar Tarts.
I’m not sure if I’ve gone into any particular detail about this before, so bear with me while I confess: fruit is not my favorite. A blanket statement, a write-off of an entire category of food, from a food blogger?! The shame, the audacity. Really, the hypocrisy. How ever can one be taken seriously, as [...]

Here’s the thing about donuts, they’re perfect. Truly, completely, perfect bits of fried dough. That they’re fried should tip one off to their perfection. And glazed, and occasionally filled. Whether yeasted or cake, donut I love you. It’s an unhealthy feeling, yes, to love such a thing. But have you ever tried one? It’s America [...]

Adhering to cliché, some rules are meant to be broken. After 21 years, that list includes—but is not limited to—curfew, jaywalking, whiteafterlaborday, chocolate and beer for dinner…etc. But lawmakers and enforcers take heart, some rules are written to last. The one that comes to mind today, and seems particularly relevant every day of summer is [...]

New York, Fire Island.
So I’ve gone a lot of places. But my favorite is still here. And here. And here. Here too. At the Bay Shore Fire Island Ferry terminal, there is a snack shack. Now this snack shack, in all it’s white washed, lopsided and permanently grease-perfumed air quaintness has a secret. That secret comes in either [...]

Beer Cardamom Ice Cream.
I spent a long time waiting for it to be the ice cream moment. And by long time, I mean I’ve been waiting since last summer for it to be ice cream weather again. (Which is not to say that I haven’t been eating ice cream in the interim. But while ice cream is always [...]
