Sometimes I wake up craving Mexican food. More specifically chips and salsa, with refried beans. I can’t really explain it as it only happens once in a blue moon. It is kind of like my 8th wonder of my foodie world. So last weekend, it happened, the random morning Mexican craving, and luckily it was [...]
Yesterday was a beautiful day. It was Friday, very nice outside and both my husband and I had the glorious day off. We decided to head to brunch at a good brunchin’ hour – around 10:00 am. We hopped, skipped and jumped our way downtown and happened upon Dilly Deli. I’d always been curious about the place but [...]
This morning the hubby and I were hankering for a hearty breakfast that wouldn’t disappoint. We decided to try the Wild Fork since it has always piqued our interest as we have meandered around Utica Square. The atmosphere is quirky and colorful with local art and pretty light fixtures. This morning the restaurant was a hustle and [...]
Going out for breakfast seems like a throw away meal to me. I would much rather dine out for brunch, lunch, dinner, or dessert. It seems to me most breakfast joints are the same – bland scrambled eggs, bacon that is not crispy enough and cold toast. On the other end of the spectrum is [...]
I love berries. Berries, berries, berries I could eat them all day. This recipe is an adaptation from a Tyler Florence recipe. I put my own twist on it and they turned out perfectly lovely! Sweet, moist, tart from the berries and very delicious. The recipe is as follows: Ingredients 2 cups unbleached flour 1 [...]
After Thanksgiving gorging and Black Friday craziness I woke up this Saturday morning rather late and feeling quite lazy. Brunch is perfect for those days when breakfast seems too early and lunch too far away. Having never tried The Chalkboard before it seemed like an intriguing choice for mid-morning fare. The atmosphere of The Chalkboard [...]
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and when a restaurant rises above my lofty early morning expectations I get excited. Along comes Blue Moon Cafe with a diverse breakfast menu that consists of interesting dishes such as Lox & Bagel and Migas (a Tex-Mex dish using eggs, tortilla pieces, cheese, vegetables and various spices). Christine [...]
Gatsby’s Grill is a small restaurant attached to the North end of Gardner’s books located between 41st and 51st off of Mingo. The atmosphere is cozy; customers are nestled on an old-world style alcove with a view into the used book store. In keeping with the book theme, their menu has a lot of cute [...]
Located on Cherry Street, Lucky’s Restaurant is one of those places I always wanted to try but never actually made the leap to go there. After a long day at work I was not in the mood to drive far, so I made the three minute drive to Cherry Street and stopped in for dinner. [...]
My parents were visiting from California and they happened to be staying at a hotel near First Watch, a breakfast/brunch joint in the Southern Hills area of Tulsa, so we stopped by for our first meal during their visit. We had high hopes for an establishment that focuses their menu on breakfast items and we were [...]
