On Monday, July 18, bartenders in Harlem duked it out to reign supreme at the Uptown Battle of the Bars.
I really enjoy this event every year, it’s all about community, and you can feel the community spirit in the air.
Stewed Sweet Peppers
This is one of my tastebud crash dummies’ highly recommended side dishes – stewed sweet peppers. It’s a really simple dish. What you need most experience in, is waiting. Stewed sweet peppers take time to create, but the pay off is great. This side dish looks and tastes amazing.
Stuffed Squash Blossom Kale Salad
Stuffed squash blossom kale salad is today’s recipe. Two varieties of red kale crowned with stuffed squash blossoms.
It’s so easy to get in a rut with your offerings of salad, so I decided to create something a little different, a salad that can stand on its own, a salad that will wow your guests, get them excited about what they’re about to eat.
Have you tried squash blossoms? They have a very mild squash taste. They’re delicate and when stuffed with goats cheese they’re delicious. Such a pretty salad – don’t you think?
Peanut Sauce Soaked Asian Chicken Noodle Salad
In the mood for a salad with lots of flavors? Then how about peanut sauce soaked Asian chicken noodle salad? This salad has a bunch of ingredients that go together so well, not only are the flavors amazing, but the textures of each ingredient makes this a joy to eat.
Blueberry Yogurt Breakfast Popsicles
Have you tried breakfast popsicles? If no, you must. Blueberry yogurt breakfast popsicles will serve as the perfect intro to your day. They are such a delight, especially when the weather is hot first thing, or when you’ve started your day later than usual and need a quick injection of goodness. Fresh blueberries, Greek yogurt, a touch of almond milk, a little jam and a modest drizzle of melted chocolate – yum.
Corn Salsa Burger
The corn salsa burger is a great burger. Succulent patty, cradled in a modest pit of manchego cheese and topped with a warm and spicy corn salsa.
Brunch Burger
Instead of toasting a couple of muffins with eggs and bacon, how about adding a burger patty to that collection of breakfast foods and make yourself a brunch burger this July 4th?
Triple Cheese Burger
July 4 is around the corner. Do you plan on grilling some burgers? Here’s a really easy one for you, triple cheese burger, #4 of my burger lab series.
Burger Lab Series
July 4th is on its way, and to help you prepare for the holiday, I plan on sharing some more burger recipes with you. It’s Burger Lab Series time! Burger, Burger, Burger!
Pineapple Wheatgrass Shots
I had a great idea to incorporate wheatgrass shots into my diet. The plan was to start the day with a couple of wheatgrass shots and reap the benefits. Boost of energy, agile mind, and improved digestion to name a few. I bought 6 oz of wheatgrass, juiced it, removed the frothy top layer and threw the first shot down my throat. Now, I was aware that wheatgrass has a bitter after taste, but my oh my, my taste buds were not ready for that kind of bitter – I just couldn’t willingly chuck another shot down my throat. Thus pineapple wheatgrass shots were born, and now my preferred method of imbibing wheatgrass.
