Slurping wetly and noisily at the nourishment that is New Orleans
After 2+ years eating low carb, you’d think I’d learned my lesson. I know that if I cheat, I have to do it small. One meal of extra carbs won’t kill me, if those carbs are something like bread, pasta or potatoes. But, if I add too much sugar to […]
I know, this isn’t a recipe for the perfect keto ice cream, I have yet to discover it! I’m working on it, but I thought while I waste yet another pint of heavy whipping cream on my 5th experiment, I’d share one of my absolute favorites. This is a cake […]
Seeing as I adore all of the restaurant concepts created by LeBlanc + Smith, it took longer than I had hoped for me to finally try The Chloe. The boutique hotel, restaurant, and bar, located in a 19th century St. Charles Avenue mansion, opened in October of 2020, but every […]
Before you even think it, I know this place would likely require a lot of work to get it as shiny as it could be, but once again, there’s so much potential! Located less than a block from Mona’s, this Mid-City, two-story Craftsman-like double is nothing if not hyphenated. All […]

Recently, I bought one of those big bags of summer squash and zucchini at Costco, and after making ratatouille (yet again!) I still had a bunch of squash left over. While I always enjoy simply sautéing chopped onion and squash in butter, I thought I would try something a little […]
Judging for the New Orleans Wine & Food Experience‘s Culinary Awards has all kinds of perks. I get to meet new chefs, taste incredible food, and spend a whole day with people as food-obsessed as I am. But one of the best parts is celebrating the winners! Three cheers and […]
It’s all too easy to find a gorgeous mansion on Realtor.com to ooh and aah about on my blog, there are so many! But today I felt like a challenge. I wanted to find a house in my price range that I could get excited about. Lo and behold, after […]
It could be the oppressive heat or because lemons are so bright and fresh tasting or because this recipe is so damned easy (considering the result), but I think I have found my new favorite chia pudding. I’ve never been a huge fan of lemon desserts, but perhaps my palate […]
