I’d never been to a tasting event before and let me tell you, Philadelphia Magazine really set the bar high. From the beautiful atmosphere, live band, open-bar with expertly crafted cocktails to the amazingContinue reading “Philly Cooks by Philadelphia Magazine Foobooz”

Italian Sausage with Lentils
This is a hearty winter dish that is good for you comfort food! Green lentils are a French variety that cook quickly without becoming mushy. Like all lentils, they are high in protein, vitamins, and minerals. We love the way they complement the salty flavor of sweet or spicy sausages. Serve with a side of crustyContinue reading “Italian Sausage with Lentils”
Green Eggs Cafe
There are a few places in Philadelphia that are known for their brunch. Green Eggs Cafe is most definitely on that list. Red Velvet Pancakes, Creme Brûlée French Toast… with options like these, it’s understandable why there is always a line out the door and around the corner. With four locations across the city (Midtown VillageContinue reading “Green Eggs Cafe”
Taco Pie
I don’t know about you, but every single time I log into Facebook, I’ve started to see these speed cook videos pop up. And I watch them, every time. Sometimes, I find myself thinking, that looks absolutely disgusting.. other times, I find myself copying the link and sending it to the boyfriend for him toContinue reading “Taco Pie”
Fitler Dining Room
There is something absolutely magical about Fitler Dining Room. I’ve walked by many times and been eager to stare into the windows of this dimly lit restaurant. The inside is cozy, quaint, and romantic. You can grab a stool at the bar right outside the open kitchen and watch the cooks bustling to prepare yourContinue reading “Fitler Dining Room”

Butcher and Singer is for sure my guilty pleasure when it comes to indulging in a juicy, delicious steak. The restaurant feels grand and intimate at the same time with decor that is reminiscent of the glamour of Old Hollywood with thick wooden chairs and lush booths. Every celebratory dinner (birthdays, restaurant week, date night,Continue reading “Butcher and Singer”
Cider-Braised Pork Chop
I have to give credit to my boyfriend for stumbling upon this recipe one day when he was just messing around with ingredients in the kitchen. I only recently started cooking pork chops, but they are quickly becoming a staple of mine especially on the weeknights since they cook so quickly. These are paired withContinue reading “Cider-Braised Pork Chop”
El Camino Real
Mexican + BBQ = Heaven!!! How could you not LOVE El Camino Real?! Finding a restaurant that has married two of our favorite types of cuisine was very exciting. The BBQ portion of the menu may be stronger, but the Mexican food and fusion dishes all rock! Loaded fries, Nachos, Quesadillas with fillings like Pulled PorkContinue reading “El Camino Real”
Bibimbap
This has been my favorite dish from Hello Fresh thus fair. Its very easy to make and the flavors are nice and light! I also got to practice using my chopsticks eating something I made at home.

Race Street Cafe
Located on the corner of 2nd and Race, this cafe has quite possibly the best turkey burger in the city. The restaurant itself is cozy, it’s quaint, it’s dark… it’s perfect. There’s seats outside for a nice day (although they’re doing construction across the street so it may be a little noisy while that’s goingContinue reading “Race Street Cafe”
