Are you ready for some cajun? Dominating one end of the new Mission Farms development, a trendy mix of resturants, fun stores, and good food, is a transplant from Saint Joe: Boudreaux’s Louisiana Seafood. When my wife and I went to Boudreaux’s, I have to admit that I was not in the mood for cajun; […]

I can say without hyperbole that I had one of the tastiest salads I have ever eaten last night. I went to another cooking class, this one on vegetable preparation methods taught by Chef Cody Hogan from Lidia’s Kansas City. Other than my incessant questions, the star of the evening was a simple salad made from asparagus, scallions, […]

Tina and I had just gotten done eating at The Dragon Inn by the Overland Park farmer’s market (review to follow) where I noticed how thick the sauce for the Szechwan Broccoli and the hot and sour soup was.

I’ve noticed something curious about how I find recipes. I used to eschew all my cookbooks and head right to FoodNetwork.com anytime I needed a recipe. That worked for a while, especially when I was in college and the Internet was working towards its current omnipresent state.
However, due in large part to the awfulness of the Food Network’s […]

I started experimenting with some new recipes the other night. I am trying to make dips for tortilla chips or crackers without using the old standbys (sour cream and cream cheese.) I find both of those mediums to be high in fat and calories. I realize that both come in 1/3 less calories and non […]

Tonight for our wedding anniversary my wife and tried the new churrascaria Amor Fiery Steakhouse de Brazil at 119th and Metcalf. This was my wife’s choice (as I do not eat meat), however, I went in anticipation of their 50 item salad bar.
