Spanish Tapas Inspired Tomato Toast

I was first introduced to this dish when I traveled to Spain. I was a bit shocked when I saw tomatoe bread on the menu becuase I thought, who the heck would order that?? I actually did not try it until I went to dinner with a few friends and we ordered a bunch ofContinue reading “Spanish Tapas Inspired Tomato Toast”

Ba Bar

I seriously cannot get enough of Ba Bar – everytime I go its like their food gets better and better somehow, I’m not even sure how that is possible! Its a great spot for happy hour drinks and snacks, casual dinner with friends, or a date-night! They have multiple locations, so good chance you areContinue reading “Ba Bar”

Heirloom Tomato Tart

I love tomatoes and I wanted to make something that really highlights them in all their deliciousness. I wanted something simple, yet elevated enough that I could serve it at a party and appear to be fancy! The key here is buying puff pastry dough already made – if you do that, then this recipeContinue reading “Heirloom Tomato Tart”

Pablo y Pablo

PABLO Y PABLO – located near Fremont serving up some very unique tacos. We ordered 2 tacos – Al Pastor and Banh Mi. The Al Pastor has grilled pineapple, bacon, habanero salsa, red onion and cilantro. It is a unique take on the traditional Al Pastor taco. The flavor was incredible and you get aContinue reading “Pablo y Pablo”

They’ve got fruit, milk tea, fresh milk tea, salted cheese, coffees, and smoothies. They also offer food here, which makes it the perfect spot for lunch or dinnerContinue reading “S Level Tea”

Steak Street Tacos

It’s easy and the closest I have gotten to authentic street tacos that I crave on a regular basis. It is also probably the fewest ingredients I haveContinue reading “Steak Street Tacos”

Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I used to go to Pei Wei a ton growing up – if you aren’t familiar with it, it’s basically PF Chang’s lower end version that offers quick dine-in or take-out options in a cafe-type setting where you order at the counter. Anyways, growing up my mom and I used to frequent this place atContinue reading “Chicken Lettuce Wraps”

Weekends are made for treats – whether its brunch, drinks at a rooftop bar, or donuts, you made it through the week and definitely deserve to treat yourself to something fun and yummy. Mochi donuts are one of the latest trends sweeping the world – or at least Seattle and the surrounding areas. We’ve gotContinue reading “Mochinut”

Tacos Chukis

TACO CHUKIS – multiple locations around Seattle. It has always been my favorite taco and I could eat these by the dozen. My favorite is their House Tacos which come with adobada pork, melted cheese, salsa, guacamole, diced onions, cilantro, and grilled pineapple on a soft corn tortilla. Their regular tacos come with your choiceContinue reading “Tacos Chukis”

Tutta Bella

Italy or Seattle? You decide! This place is the real deal, although I have never been to Italy so I don’t really have anything to compare it to! BUT this is some of the best Italian food I have had in the US, and I have eaten a lot! I mean it is mostly carbsContinue reading “Tutta Bella”
