Spring is here and that means one thing: goodbye bacon, hello verduras. This recipe is cheap, low cal (ugh I know, the horror) and easy to make. While it isn’t as tasty as a French toast and bacon sandwich, it probably contains those things called vitamins or minerals or something. You need to have the […]
The Perfect Buenos Aires Brunch
One time in my life I had the perfect brunch in Buenos Aires. A brunch filled with bagels, French toast casserole drenched in maple syrup, salty and savory cold cuts, an assortment of flavored cream cheeses, bacon, fruit, granola, yogurt, fresh baked challah, all the fixings you could dream of, juice, champagne, vodka, gin, cucumber […]
I HEART Bagels: Quiero Bagel Delivery
The Bacon Trials: Baines Best Bacon Delivery Bacon
The life of an amateur food blogger is quite hard work. You have to go out to eat, take pictures of food and then write about it. One of my most recent challenges included reviewing three pounds of glorious crispy, salty, American styled streaky bacon. And not just any bacon, the ONLY real bacon in […]

Almacén El Nono Amigo: Where Picada and Empanada Dreams Come True
UPDATE: El Nono Amigo’s is now CLOSED but replaced with La Gran Tienda – a great spot for all your cheese, cured meats and sandwiches to-go. Cured meats, sharp cheeses, fresh bread, pickled vegetables – I must admit, I don’t give this Argentine delicacy the credit it deserves considering picadas are pretty damn awesome, and just might be […]
Product of the Day: Twistos Crackers Aireadas
From the makers of the strangely delightful jamón ibérico tostaditos, bring you a new snack, Twistos de la Huerta: Crackers Aireadas. These highly addictive crackers, that recently hit selected kioscos and grocery stores, come in two flavors – con hierbas (with herbs) and tomate y albahaca (tomato and basil). Try dipping the con hierbas into […]
First Days in the USA
“What do you miss about the USA?” is on the top 5 list of questions that many expats are asked when being quizzed about their reasons for living abroad. As a shallow, culinary obsessed, mid-twenty something, my answer will always remain something superficial. These days with the glories of social media and the wonders of […]
