My new routine has been to pick up fruit at the train station on my way to my office on Monday mornings – I just buy whatever is on sale – this week: .99 per pound for honeycrisp apples – yes please! D’Anjou pears for $1.29 a pound and bananas were .50 cents each. Breakfast was what I call a “shower omelette.” I heat a...
Guys. You have to make this!! I haven’t been this happy with a recipe I made on the fly in a while. Most of the times I recipe develop on the train ride home, I get home, make the recipe as I’ve written it, and then had to tweak it. Like a lot. Not this Korean Pork BBQ sauce.

I have to admit, I’ve never really had an authentic banh mi sandwich. There are a lot of variations around, some have pate and sardines, some use ground pork, but in the end it’s a spicy pork sandwich with pickled veggies and a spicy mayo. Side note: I don’t like mayo.

That would be 41 points right there and it wouldn’t even be 10:00 a.m.! Lunch would be Sbarro – it was right by my old office...
I am thrilled that the editors of Nicole’s new cookbook asked if I would be interested in getting a copy of her new cookbook, and a second one to give away, and I didn’t have to think twice about that – yes please! This is Nicole’s third cookbook – I’ve already made the Italian Bolognese sauce which was so delicious and nearly zero points. I...
Sausage stuffed chicken parm will be on the top of your recipes you need to make. While I didn’t fully meal plan this week, I definitely meal prepped. Some weeks the meal plan comes to me in minutes, and other times I struggle to come up with ideas – and all I do is look at food, Pinterest, blogs, you would think that it would...
I know I am going to get called out on my soup not being a true “ramen” but it has a spicy broth, has noodles, so I am going to call it quick pork ramen! But first, I have to tell you guys I am working for The Chopping Block on Saturday, December 9! It’s the One of a Kind Show at the Merchandise Mart...
