So, So Fly

March 17, 2011 by foodfash

Well hello there fries that I couldn’t seem to get enough of tonight.  I don’t even like fries.  Maybe a bite here or there or a guilty pleasure McDonalds fry (yeah I said that), but I’m not a fan of potatoes unless they’re smashed, mashed, or scalloped.  But holy crow, Fly’s fries are good!

Fly Bar is by far (ha!) one of my favorite spots.  When I decided to get a group of girls together to welcome Meghann @ Meals & Miles to Tampa, Fly was the first place that came to mind.

Minus the double order of hummus, everyone ordered something different which made for a colorful table.  But the double hummus order was awfully legit – it was so good.  Even Val, who just tried hummus for the first time last week, made note of how good it was.  So proud of her, by the way!

The spinach and pear salad was good, but would have been so much better if I could have recognized the seasoning that was completely unrecognizable by anyone at our table!!  Between the tasty fries and the taste confusion, I was a bit distracted.

Another distraction was having such awesome company.  Chrissie and I just recently met and will be attending Bonnaroo 2011 together.  Meghann and Val, both Seminoles, had plenty of like college memories to bounce off each other.  And Becca, Chrissie’s little sis visiting from DC, had her own adventures to share.

It looks like this crew will be reuniting soon for weekend-o-fun  since we all have plans to meet up at Rasa-Lila Fest and Taste of South Tampa!

Double Booked, In Pictures

March 16, 2011 by foodfash

Breakfast:  Black Bean & Daiya Frittata Topped with Salsa

Lunch: Avocado “Cream” Pasta with Green Beans & Almonds

Pre-Run Snack: Spinach Artichoke Hummus with Baked Pita Chips

Dinner:  Total Tostacos

Dessert: Theo Spicy Chile Dark Chocolate

Robbie shot me a text this morning saying that he double booked dinner plans – boo!  But having a gift certificate doesn’t quite trump a best friends’ birthday, so it was cool in my book.  Luckily corn tortillas are sold by the gazillion, leaving plenty of leftovers for my version of Los Frejoles Tacos!

P.S.  Meghann of Meals & Miles recently moved to Tampa and is meeting up tomorrow for some cocktails!

P.P.S.  The Avocado “Cream”, although pretty delish, needs a few tweaks.  I’ll definitely post when it’s post-worthy!

Total Tostacos

March 15, 2011 by foodfash

It all started when my long lost Katie friend called me last night to catch up on current events.  As we were about to hang up she mentioned she was on her way to Mexican dinner, which caused an instant Urban Cantina craving on my end.

I was on a mission to find a dinner partner, but fifty percent of the calls I made went straight to voicemail.  Dead phones?  A sure sign that the weekend was entirely too eventful for those of us pushing thirty!

I settled on the idea of take-out, but my plan came to a screeching halt when I realized my car was still parked at Bailey’s from the night before.  How did I not realize this before 7 PM??

Rather…  How did I not realize this before 8 PM?  Time change, doh!

A day later, my cravings were still in full effect.  I secured Urban Cantina dinner plans with Robbie for Tuesday night, but…  I wanted Los Frejoles tacos (sans cheese) ASAP.  Patience has never been my strong suit.

I topped toasted corn tortillas with rinsed black beans, romaine lettuce, sliced avocado, and fresh(er) salsa.  If salsa is in the refrigerated section and I can identify all of the ingredients at first glance – it’s fresh enough for me!

I filled them a little on the full side, they were total tostacos (tostada+taco), but tasty tostacos nonetheless.  Sunday night fail, Monday night win!
