Dairy Free Gluten Free Pizza Night
September 30th, 2011I’ve had dairy free gluten free pizza at Mellow Mushroom before and it’s very good! However, I wanted to make some at home on a weeknight.

Restaurant Review: Efes Bistro – Fish & Grill House
September 24th, 2011My husband and I decided to try a new restaurant for our Friday night dinner out. We spotted Efes Bistro using an App on his Droid and decided to check it out.

Less dirty dishes to wash, how wacky is that?! (more…)
Restaurant Review: DIG Delray
September 18th, 2011My husband and I went to DIG for my birthday dinner. I love anything local and organic so DIG, which stands for “Doing It Green” is my kind of place.
We began with the seared sea scallop appetizer, I did not take a picture but it was two giant sea scallops on a bed of spinach with roasted tomatoes on the side. After discovering my newfound love for scallops, I knew I had to try restaurant prepared scallops again and these were cooked perfectly! (more…)
