Sun Made Love..

My colleague Kelly and I were talking the other day about this bread, so I had to get some because I loved it so much as a kid. I just ate 2 pieces toasted with a whole mess of butter, and...well... It was REAL good!
Go get some right now!! It really doesn't get better than this! Here in NYC it is a cold cloudy morning. It's the perfect day for this with your coffee!! Well, Nespresso if you are like me! :)

Fried Smashed Potatoes

So these incredibly yummy potatoes are equally incredibly easy to make. I made these below today to blog about, but they are also a perfect solution to left over baked potatoes you might have now that the weather is cooling off, and heartier dinners are in the future for our kitchens. Whether you are starting with leftovers or not, you need cooked potatoes for this. I have only used russets , but any starchy white potato should work. Here is what you will need to do Start by heating about 2-3 inches of olive oil in a pot over medium high heat. Then take your cooked potatoes (about one or one and a half per person) and cut them in half. Then pull them apart with your hands to get that rustic, smashed look.  Now take your potato pieces and role them in corn starch. No need for egg or water or anything. Just roll the potatoes in the corn starch and let them get a good covering all around. Don't worry about them falling a little apart, it will be good to have different sizes be

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,

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
