Buffalo Eats

A new transformation on Buffalo’s west side is underway. Adjacent to Buffalo’s popular Allentown district and Elmwood Village, Connecticut Street offers some of Buffalo’s landmarks like Kleinhans Music Hall, The Connecticut Street Armory, Karpelles Manuscript Museum and more. Horsefeathers Community Market and Residence will be a new addition for the neighborhood to look forward to. [...]

Buffalo Eats will be on hiatus for two weeks while we are on our honeymoon; a Mediterranean cruise that will have stops at Italy, Greece, Turkey, Spain and France.  If the WiFi on the ship isn’t insanely expensive or horribly slow, we will occasionally post some pictures of delicious foods we come across.  Worst case [...]

Pumpkin Chiffon Pie with Brown Sugar and Walnut Streusel I would not say that I am the biggest fan of the pumpkin pie tradition.  I like the flavor but the texture is not my favorite.  Any pie that weighs in at what feels like 47 pounds is a little dense for my tastes.  But today, [...]

Honey roasted almond and walnut oatmeal chocolate chip cookies Fall is here and baking season has officially started for me. Well, it is actually more of a  pre-season as I try to get my bearings in the kitchen again but almost everything is where I left it.  I had an oatmeal cookie jones tonight and [...]

The first time I cooked a scallop I was hooked.  The knowledge that they were good for you was important to me and that, along with their sweet taste, placed this item on my list of regular home cooked menu items.  Scallops, after all, contain a lot of protein, Omega-3’s, Vitamin B12, tryptophan and a [...]

While perusing the bulk containers during my latest pilgrimage to the Lexington Co-op I came across Quinoa.  I have been dying to get my hands on some but the on-line prices are a little ridiculous since you have to buy 100+ ounce bundled packages.  The price is still a little high in bulk but it [...]

Most of you probably have tried these once or maybe twice and quickly decided that they were too bland and dry to be part of your mealtime repertoire.  Why turkey burgers then?  Well, they are really good for you and if you prepare them right they are really tasty.  In fact, by following a few of my simple [...]
