Hi all! I got back into the kitchen this weekend and was joined by my little friend harissa. This North African spice paste goes on EVERYTHING. I have a laundry list of uses, two of which I've featured here. Other ideas? I'm thinking yogurt marinade, compound butter, mixed into ground meat for burgers, and tossed with green beans. The only thing harissa doesn't go on? Your tongue.
Read MoreGreetings all! Mid-April to Mid-May has been a blur. Work has been busy, extra curricular activities are packed in tighter than a rush hour 6 train, and in the middle of it all was my birthday.
My thirtieth birthday.
Read MoreHi there! It's been awhile, hasn't it? My partial apology. I've been on the 'gram and Tweeting so even if you're not following, I'm counting that. And you totally should be following. You're missing some good stuff.
Read MoreIt’s a typical Saturday morning in early spring; rain splatters across my windshield, the wind nudges my car this way and that but I couldn't be happier. I’m on my way to the grocery store. But not just any grocery store; I’m off to Stew’s. Stew Leonard’s that is. If the task of grocery shopping seems to be a laborious task standing between you and your next spin class then you could use a trip to Stew’s. You don’t even have to be a foodie to appreciate the experience. I mean, who doesn’t love the whir of a coffee roaster, the flickering flames of the rotisserie or singing sticks of butter (oh yes, you read that last one correctly). Welcome to Stew Leonard’s of Yonkers.
Read MoreHey y’all, I’m down in Southport, North Carolina for some creekside R and R. You may not have heard of this coastal town but you've definitely seen it. Dawson’s Creek? Under the Dome? Safe Haven? I Know What You Did Last Summer? That's Southport. I've been batting .500 with the weather but, thankfully, knocking it out of the park with the eats.
Read MoreHi everyone! I’m on spring break and using this glorious amount of time to explore/taste/savor as much as possible. While I love my eastern corner of the state, I often find myself wandering west toward the Hudson River towns scattered throughout the hillside. Maybe I've got that American spirit to keep moving west, to seek out new and uncharted territory. I'm always looking for the next great meal or anything else that will expand my gastronomic horizons. It's my own Mani-fresh Destiny (Cliché? Maybe. Spot on? Definitely)
Read MoreWelcome to the new page for NY Girl Can Eat! Make sure you're following on Twitter and Instagram @nygirlcaneat. Now that the necessary tweaks and edits have been made I can post some details about this weekend's eats. From Mount Kisco to Lancaster, creamy to charred, there was something for every palate.
Read MoreFirst things first, these are not my pictures, the photo credit can be found here. If I snapped pictures of every label I tried my phone would probably have a hangover. Anyway, Awestruck Hibiscus Cider. Flamingo pink, rippling with exotic hibiscus notes and a zing of ginger, it's the only thing I want to drink between April and forever. The problem? They're not found anywhere in a 50 mile radius of me. At least right now. They're currently based in Walton, NY but my fingers are crossed that they'll make their way south soon. VERY soon. If you see this anywhere near you make sure you try it. Promise me you will. Look, even the guys with us enjoyed it. They might not admit it but they did. Keep an eye out and remember, you heard about it here first!
Read MoreHappy snow day everyone! Days like today all I want is a blanket, the remote and a warm bowl of something scrumptious, say a bowl of pasta and Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Sauce?
Read MoreHi all! I’m back from another weekend in Boston and my face hurts from smiling so much. Everything I ate or drank was a miraculous palate pleaser. I’m not exaggerating; know how I know? My friends will corroborate my story one hundred percent. We can start with a late night dinner at Sarma in Somerville.
