When I went to the store yesterday, I looked carefully through the chocolate section to find the most interesting bar. The winner at my local store was Endangered Species Dark Chocolate with Goji Berry, Pecans & Maca. Clearly, this bar won because of the maca; I had no idea what maca might taste like and [...]

Homemade Bread

I am now a homemade bread convert.
Now when I say that, I don’t mean homemade bread made in the bread maker (though I do still love my bread maker). I mean the bread that is really made by hand, that takes nearly a full day to rise, and that bakes in the oven until the [...]

It’s another snow day in Baltimore! (Unless you’re my friend Ryan, who is sure he is going to have to go to work.) If you’re itching to get out of the house, What’s to Eat Baltimore? and the Baltimore Restaurant Examiner have been posting lists of open restaurants and bars on their blogs and on [...]

For a long, long, long time I was single on Valentine’s Day. In fact, I was single about 90% of the year or more. So I always thought Valentine’s Day was a terrible, stupid, discriminatory holiday. Except for two things that is: conversation hearts and chocolate.

5 Ways to Save at Whole Foods

If you read this blog regularly, you may have noticed that I talk about Whole Foods a lot. When I lived in Queens, I was within walking distance of several natural food stores, but in Baltimore, I don’t have as many options. Whole Foods is now my grocery store of choice.

The title of this post is slightly misleading. I’m recommending six food movies, some fictional, some documentaries, and I haven’t seem any of them. But I want to see all of them (and many were recommended on a Chowhound forum so I’m not telling you to watch these completely blindly). Extras bonus: Netflix subscribers can watch the first [...]

To get excited for the game, I wanted to do a post on the Ravens. However, because this a food blog, I have to connect the two – Ravens and eating.
So here we are, talking about what [...]
