Late night quick dinner!!


So I left work a bit early tonight. Around 10 p.m. and then went and had a martini with my friend Justin Law at a new place called Bar Tini. It is where the old 10th Ave Lounge used to be. They did a really cute job remodeling it and I wish then luck!
But I got home and I was starving!
The fridge was sparse so I did a quick inventory and assessed the situation. Seemed like I would be able to do something yummy after all!
I have baby portobello mushrooms left over, parsley, garlic, olive oil, thyme and egg noodles.
Sounds like dinner!!!!!!
So I put a pot of hot water on!
Then I thick cut about 7 of the baby bellos, one clove of garlic, and threw them in a heated saute pan with a few pinches of salt and a few turns of olive oil around the pan.
Next the water was boiling so I added about a cup of the egg noodles and lots of salt.
So my noodles were boiling and the mushrooms were sauteing, I added a teaspoon of thyme and a huge pinch of parsley to the mushroom pan, and turned it off. By this point the mushrooms are done and can hang out for a bit. The pasta has about 3 mins. left so atI pulled out my plate and turn my mac book on!

Noodles are done, so I turn the shrooms back on low, and drain the noodles almost completely. About 98%. I wanted some starch left in the pot. I poured the noodles directly into the mushrooms and mixed it all up. Once it was mixed, I hit it with a bit more parsley, a bit more salt. A lot of parm, and a few more drops of olive oil!
Damn!
Damn!
Damn!
This is SO easy I could do it late night after a martini!!! BUT so good your friends would love it anytime!!
Whooopps... I just realized I forgot to add some red pepper!!!
Oh well, next time!!!
XOXO

I'm on a little diet right now (cause I need to drop a couple of lbs for a video shoot) so I couldn't join our Sexy Chef in enjoying this late night meal but a frickin' tsunami couldn't keep me from having a taste! The whole apartment smelled *amazing* and this dish took him 10 mins tops! It was out of this world!!! ....Diets suck!

Orange glazed chicken with Shredded Brussels Sprouts and Autumn Brown Rice.

First of all please allow me to apologize for the picture quality. My camera was dead when I went to take a picture, and we were far to hungry to wait for the battery to charge, so I used my iPhone. It’s not terrible, but it is not great either. Now… to the food!!! I originally wanted to try this dish with duck breast but it seems that, even at Whole Foods I can't find any duck breasts. I did find a rather large whole duck, but I didn't get it because it would obviously be too much! So I went for chicken breast. Since I was looking to have that fatty flavor that duck naturally gives out I chose to get the chicken breast (3 breasts) with skin on. I couldn’t find skin on without bones, so I had to debone the breasts at home. It’s really easy to do. You just guide your knife along the rib cage and you’re all set. First preheat your oven to 375 and get started on your rice. I chose brown rice, but any rice you prefer will be fine for this dish. I followed the directions on the bag,

The All Powerful Sauerkraut!

Image
So It seems that I am the last person on the planet to know about the AMAZING health benefits of Sauerkraut.  To be 100% honest our dog got really sick this week and we were researching how to help him out without having to spend a fortune at the vet's office. We kept reading that the dogs health and overall well being started off with how his gut was, and what was going on in his digestive track. JUST LIKE PEOPLE. And the way to make sure that your gut is healthy is probiotics! One of the easiest, and least expensive ways to get billions of these things in you a day is with eating fermented foods like Sauerkraut.  Here is a link to a REALY interesting article  I found about the science of probiotics, mental health, gut health, becoming healthier.  In a much shorter intro to the benefits of Kraut, here is the gist of it from another article I read pertaining to people as well as animals: History of Sauerkraut Although many people think of sauerkraut a

Espro Coffee Press

Hey guys! I'm back. Sorry I have been gone for such a long time, but here I am, and I'm ready to start talking about food again! Food, and drinks, and a few new tools that I got recently that have changed my life!!! So to start off I want to introduce you to the Espro French Press. This has changed my mornings for good. Normally I am a Starbucks in the morning kind of guy. I do not enjoy making my own coffee, and it never tastes the same as it does when I go to the coffee shop. While we were living in LA we had a k-cup coffee maker and that was nice enough. I used it often, but still loved to take a ride to Starbucks. Now we are back home in NYC, and our kitchen was too small for a coffee maker. So every morning, right after waking up, it was time to head out and walk the 2 blocks to get our coffee. That was all fine and good, but something happened... that something was called WINTER!!! Ugh.... living in LA for a while we forgot what that trek in the cold was like. We nee
