Sofrito Lovers,

60 cheap eats in NYC, there's nothing better than that!  So if you're looking for some inexpensive, delicious, and local fare this weekend, then look no further than this post. 

As always the foodie genius (and my personal hero) Robert Sietsema, from Eater.com, has compiled yet another deliciously handy dandy list of eateries we should all frequent and support.

I'm proud to say that I'm a huge fan of some of Sietsema's choices (Great minds and such!) such as Cafe Zaiya (Amazing Ramen), Casa Adela (Incredible Puerto Rican food), and Gurra Cafe (Hearty Albanian food).

Make this a foodie weekend!  Get out there and try some new cuisine! Check out the post below, get your sneakers on, and go taste for yourself! ¡Buen Provecho!

As restaurant prices continue to soar, finding a cheap restaurant meal becomes more of a priority. And if the inexpensive feed is not only delicious but also interesting, and maybe even outside your previous dining experience, all the better. From time to time, I post about cheap restaurantsI’ve stumbled on in the five boroughs and adjacent metropolitan areas, devoting a paragraph or two to each and making a few menu recommendations. Here is a collection of those restaurants, listed alphabetically!

Healthy Processed Food Choices!


Sofrito Lovers,

Some of you have asked me to post more Healthy food related content, so here you go!  I love Mind Over Munch, an amazing YouTube health food channel, because the content is smart, funny, and really helpful for a foodie like me that likes to sneak some healthy food options into my life from time to time.

When I saw the title, Healthy Processed Food Choices, I knew I had to post and comment.  Check out this awesome video/tutorial, I found it fascinating and really informative!  Yes!  You can find some healthy options when it comes to processed foods; it's not as horrible as we all think!

Watch, learn, and use the information to make smarter snack choices.  Now go taste for yourself!  ¡Buen Provecho!

A Spoonful of Sofrito: A pinch of advice that will add a lot of flavor to your life.

Summer Bento Snack Boxes for 
On-The-Go!


Sofrito Lovers,

Bento Boxes are awesome, especially when you pack a snack in them!  If you've never heard of Bentos before, then listen up: Bento Boxes are single portion food boxes that are quite common in Japanese culture. 

Japanese mothers are known to channel their inner Picassos when they prepare their children's snack or lunch Boxes.  Photos of these amazing culinary works of art have gone viral and have become museum exhibits.

Bentos are the perfect way to prepare a snack or lunch that's healthy and well balanced.  Being Diabetic, portion control is essential and Bentos help me put together an awesome little lunch or snack that won't spike my blood sugar.

The Mind Over Munch video posted below is really an awesome resource for Bento ideas.  Check out the video and get a feel for Bento culture, you might like it!  Watch, then go taste for yourself!  ¡Buen Provecho!
