Special Edition : Jambalaya and a tribute to Cafe Bamboo

We recently heard some sad news. Dan and I went to New Orleans for our honeymoon last summer. It was pretty hot, Dan caught a cold, and we saw alligators. Basically, we had an amazing time in one of the most charming cities in the […]

The Pantry

Special Edition : The New Orleans Stay-cation Part 2 : Vegan Po’Boys & Hush Puppies

Morning on Bourbon Street Even in a magical place like New Orleans, they don’t eat Beignets all day. When we were there about a year ago, one of our most memorable meals was vegan Po’ Boys at Cafe Bamboo. So it only seemed right that […]

The Betty Crocker Project : French Toast with a Variety of Sweet Butters

The Betty Crocker Project : French Toast with a Variety of Sweet Butters

It was a long, humid, Virginia weekend. Not ideal for baking or frying or whatever. It was the type of weekend that makes you consider getting one of those little Hibachi grills for your fire escape so you can still cook and not turn your […]
