The first time I went shopping at the grocery store during Corona V, I felt like I was on Guy’s Grocery Games, rushing in, headed down the aisles and grabbing stuff off the shelf, zipping to the check out line and getting the heck out of the potential Petri dish and virus filled air. TheContinue reading “Long Lasting Fresh Foods (or how to avoid the grocery store like the plague)”

License to Eat Junk
Sunny Hostin said on The View yesterday, “Well, I ate a whole bag of Funyuns.” “Why are you eating Funyuns, Sunny?” Whoopi, speaking from the social distance of her own home, asked. “I love Funyuns,” Sunny answered, shrugging. Apparently Whoopi was dismayed because she hasn’t been able to find her favorite brand of potato chipsContinue reading “License to Eat Junk”
Support Your Local Cheers: What to do, Where to Eat in South Miami
So, after braving crowds in three supermarkets last week that were uncomfortably crowded, this week we decided to hunker down, stay at home and eat off the land (or our pantry, fridge and freezer). We did order out twice (mostly because the head chef is sick of cooking). We picked up ourselves because UberEats, PostmatesContinue reading “Support Your Local Cheers: What to do, Where to Eat in South Miami”

My journey all began with a little spider that happened to live in my pantry with my cake mixes andContinue reading “Spring Clean Your Kitchen”
Spaghetti Sundays
In these trying times- social distancing, monitoring, testing, panic, self imposed isolation- what we need more than anything else is comfort. And when I need comfort, the recipe I turn to, that most reminds me of my childhood and feeling loved, is my grandmother’s pasta sauce. Hopefully everyone has one meal that reminds them ofContinue reading “Spaghetti Sundays”
The Demise of La Dolce Vita
Life living in the shadow of the pandemic coronavirus is weird and keeps getting weirder every day. I never knew I would miss handshakes, hugs, kisses on the cheek and large gatherings. I’m an introvert, but also enjoy socializing, so these normal way-of-life customs (especially in Miami) that are now forbidden, makes me sad. ButContinue reading “The Demise of La Dolce Vita”
Foodie in Miami emerges from the crumbs.
I’m Foodie in Miami, formerly on Wix, now on Word Press. I would say I’m a phoenix rising from the ashes, but that’s cliche and crumbs works better for a food writer/blogger. True to form, I have some pretzel crumbs toasting in the oven for a New York Times cookie recipe claiming to be “almostContinue reading “Foodie in Miami emerges from the crumbs.”
