Adventure Begins in the Kitchen

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!

A preview of my latest project or a malfunctioning Flip cam driving me drink?  Perhaps a little of both!

So Stoked, In Pictures

Breakfast: Fried Egg & Avocado Pita

Lunch Sandwich 1: Cucumber & Vegan Tzatziki Pita

Lunch Sandwich 2: Gardein Souvlaki Pita

Dinner Spoiler 1:  Clean Start Brownies

Dinner Spoiler 2:  THE FLIP I RECEIVED TODAY FROM NEWMAN’S OWN!!!

Dinner: Miso Soup and Sweet Potato with Earth Balance & Dash of Salt

To distract you from the fact that I ate three pitas within a four-ish hour period today, let’s talk about the Flip!  A few weeks ago, I submitted a recipe/video proposal to Foodbuzz for a chance to win a Flip and some Newman’s Own goodies.  And whattayaknow, I won!

The only prize I ever recall winning was a gift certificate to a golf pro shop that was at or around 0% interesting to me.  So when I opened the giant, mystery box that arrived today and saw that my proposal earned me some swag, I was STOKED!  The kind of stoked that made me want to call everyone I know, immediately update my Facebook status, and pace needlessly around my 800 SF condo.

Clean Brownie and Gardein Souvlaki Recipes will be posted shortly!
