Some chefs will tell you that presentation is everything.

 

 

 

 

Well that’s not exactly true, though yes, we eat with our eyes first, it’s really all about the taste.

First, in my book Meat On The Side, I put cabbage on your nachos.

 

 

 

 

Now, I’m putting eggs on them, you got a problem with that?

Sometimes after too many nights out, and too many pizzas in, you just need to eat something really healthy. Something to make you feel good about yourself again (because that half a pizza, mozzarella sticks and brownie the size of your face, are still making your stomach turn).

 

 

 

 

You’re in luck because I have just the dish for you! And guess what? In addition to being  healthy, it also tastes so so SO good!!!

Many of us can’t imagine having dinner for breakfast, but it seems like we can all get on that "breakfast for dinner" train.

 

 

 

 

It may be hard to imagine having steak and potatoes at 7 a.m., but having eggs at 7 p.m. always sounds like a good idea.

Challah Hangover

I don’t know much, but I do know my alcohol.

Before the word “DRUNK!” runs into your head let me explain... 

When I first came to NYC I realized that the best place to make a buck was a bar. Drunk people had to be better tippers than the sober coffee drinking teenagers at my last job.  So though I had never actually been in a bar (details, details) and barely knew that vodka and gin were two different things (it all tastes the same, right?!) I somehow convinced a man named Tom that he just HAD to hire me. 

 

 

 

 

I was SO convincing that I was not only hired but given the serious responsibility of...Keeper of the Coats!! 

The only thing I could say was that I would be “the BEST coat check girl EVER.”

Yep, really living the NYC dream!
