Eat to the beat of your own drum
Ambrosia is a Broad Ripple staple. While they’re known for their Italian wines and delicious plates, Ambrosia recently switched things up with a new menu to keep you coming back for another 30 years. I was recently invited to a wine tasting with my friend Twinkle, and we also enjoyed a few of the new [...]
What you don’t know about me? My hidden love of chicken livers. Seriously. Back when my mom used to eat meat, she would pick up chicken gizzards at this gas station in Seelyville (the smallest town in between Terre Haute and Brazil, close to where I grew up), many many years ago. I would sneak [...]
My first progressive dinner was this past week in honor of Northside Nights, the two-week restaurant promotion that runs March 11 – 24. When I first heard about Northside Nights I was quite excited – I’m a fan of Chow Down Midtown since it’s closer to our house than Devour Downtown, but heck, they all [...]
I was watching Throwdown with Bobby Flay last night. The challenge was on burgers, one of Bobby’s favorite things. He said something to the tune of “if you aren’t using a napkin, your burger isn’t juicy enough.” That pretty much sums up my burger from Pearl Bistro – so juicy I used my napkin multiple [...]
On the coldest day of the year (and on record), John, myself and a few friends ventured out to try Fogo De Chao. We didn’t know what to expect, or even what to do, but all of that anxiousness and nervousness disappeared when they brought out…. THE MEAT. Yes, my friends, this post is about [...]
John is the grilled cheese-er in this house. I always have him make them, as for some reason mine just never live up to his. So naturally, when we received an invite for a private tasting of a potential new food truck called Three Blind Mice Indy, we RSVP’d in seconds.
This suggestion came from my boyfriend John. He spotted a menu, noticed that they weren’t that far away, and thought we should head over for lunch sometime. So we did. And we plan on coming back several times.
Sushi. I feel like you either love it or hate it, however I’m still in the experimental phase, wondering if I’ve really had enough to make that decision. My friend Tracy and I went to lunch at Sakura, one of Indianapolis’ well-known sushi restaurants, to try a few things and let our tastebuds do the [...]
Five course dinner with beer pairings? Yes, please. These $30 tickets were totally worth the price! Here I share pictures and notes from our wonderful experience.
Last night I had the privilege of attending a five-course dinner at Osteria Pronto, an Italian fine-dining restaurant inside the JW Marriott in downtown Indianapolis. Accompaning each plate was a Banfi wine, along with the grandson of Banfi’s founder, who shared many family anecdotes about their wine philosophy.
My name is Sara - welcome to my small blue kitchen and all of its creations. Here you'll find one-pot meals, my adventures in baking, canning and preserving methods, and a photo or two of my two pups and my loving boyfriend John. These recipes are about my life, and I can't wait to share it all with you!
