If you’ve lived in the RGV, you know we’re blessed with some of the best taquerias north of Mexico. Living in NC, I truly miss a legit taqueria—IYKYK. On my recent visit to the 956, analiz_taqueria was at the top of my list. South Texas’ James Beard Award-winning taqueria was everything I imagined and more. 2024 Best Chef Texas, Ana Liz Pulido, grinds her own corn for the maize tortillas used in her delectable tostadas and tacos. While the tortillas are the star, the fresh ingredients are equally hard to overlook. Y’all, this place is special. Nestled in a small shopping center in Mission, the parking can be a bit of a challenge, but it’s worth it. The staff is friendly, and though there was a wait, it was totally justified.  Since I was in full foodie mode, I had to sample a variety to give a full review. Here’s what we ordered tonight:
Flautas
Baked Potato with fajita
Blue maize Vampiro with fajita
Chile Relleno Taco on a yellow corn tortilla
The Copy
Mom’s picks: Tijuana and Discada
Sister’s picks: Empanada and Quesadilla con fajita
Verdict: IMPRESSED! As a blue corn maize fanatic, I’m obsessed with the “Vampiro”—a blue corn tostada with a cheese crust, guacamole, pico de gallo, and fajita. I’m also smitten with the “Copy,” a half yellow corn, half blue corn tortilla with fajita, grilled onions, fresh cilantro, and onions.  Don’t miss out on the beautiful assortment of fresh salsas and Mexican style sour cream that come with every meal—try them all. Some salsas are spicier than others, but all are addictively delicious. Valley folks, you’re lucky this taqueria is just a short drive away. And if you’re a taco aficionado visiting the area, this Mission, Texas taqueria is a must-visit. I can’t wait to go back to try the blue maize Espada and a trio of Vampiros!

Sure, Texas has its share of fantastic BBQ spots, but nothing beats a homemade mesquite-fired BBQ. Picture this: juicy chicken, cheddar-stuffed sausage, tender beef skirt, lamb, beef ribs, and cream cheese-stuffed jalapeños wrapped in bacon.

Ran into this lovely cityofsantafe shop that sells both chocolate + cashmere.  Their artisanal Bon Bons are made at their Santa Fe kitchen using local and organic ingredients when possible.  Did I mention that they are exquisite? My favorites are the Goat Cheese, Tiramisu, Coconut Cardamom, and Milk Almond.  If you are in Santa Fe and need something sweet to nibble on with a glass of wine or champagne, visit chocolatecashmere .  #santafe #thecitydifferent 2024-12-01 03:49:40 Ran into this lovely city.. 17 -82% 0 -100%

Today I hosted a foodbankcenc IG takeover for Hunger Relief Day at the ncstatefair. For the fourth year in a row, I had the honor of chronicling the day and sharing important facts about the Food Bank CENC.  If you are planning on going to the fair tonight, you still have an opportunity to donate 6 canned goods in exchange for free entrance to the fair. I’ve always wanted to share a brief post on the importance of giving.  I started giving a monetary donation to the charity of choice after my first official job out of college. While the donation at the time may not have been significant, I made it a point to donate monthly.  When I was able, I also donated my time or participated in fundraisers in support of one or more organizations.  Whether you donate money, your skills, or your time, I feel it is important to support an organization that is close to your heart.  I am in awe when I read some of the Food Bank CENC statistics, including the amount of annual donations that they receive and the amount of people they serve in the community.  In addition to being humbled by this experience, it pulls my heartstrings to learn about food insecurity and how a large portion of the afflicted are children and the elderly.  Donations matter and volunteerism matters.  #hungerreliefday #noonegoeshungry 2022-10-21 03:30:10 Today I hosted a foodba.. 73 -24% 23 -62%
One of my favorite summertime dishes is a simple and delicious nacho tray.  It’s easy to make and perfect for sharing. Recently, I made a Pepper Jack Nacho Tray with Kayem’s NEW Small Batch fully cooked sausage! Available at select retailers across the Carolinas, kayembrand sausages are handcrafted using only the finest cuts of premium pork and blended with special spices and all natural ingredients. Not to mention, they’re smoked over hardwood to lock in the deliciousness! Check out my recipe in the comments.

I can’t decide what I like more, Cocktails 🍸 or Cake 🍰? After years of driving by Maximillians Grill & Wine Bar on Chapel Hill Rd. in Cary, I finally went with my friend ejdevita for a Taurus Celebration Dinner.  Everything was fantastic.  If you are a Martini-lover, try the Max Martini with blue cheese stuffed olives 🫒. My fellow Taurus introduced me to Martinis on the Rocks and I don’t plan to have a Martini shaken or stirred anymore.  Maximillians makes all of their gelatos and desserts in house.  If the Coconut Cake is on the menu - order it!  It’s been one month since I had a slice of this dessert and I am still dreaming about it.  The Pei Mussels are another must.  Focaccia accompanies the mussels to soak up the delicious seafood broth.  Other notable mentions are the Voodoo Of The Day and the Double Cut Pork Chop.  maximilliansgrillandwine menu is farm to table so dishes may change.  If it’s not too hot out, grab a table on their patio.  I do recommend you make a reservation - to guarantee your spot.  Maximillians is located on 8314 Chapel Hill Rd.

Pure Vegan Cafe is a juice and vegan food restaurant focused on using high quality, healthy ingredients to create premium juices, smoothies, and 100% vegan food. I visited their
8369 Creedmoor Rd. location in Raleigh after work last week and sampled their delicious plant-based menu items.  While I am not Vegan, I do follow a diet rich in vegetables and fruits.  Some of the food I sampled included the Banana Toast Crunch, PVC Tiki Burger, Chipotle Bowl and Novid Orange juice.  I could not stop eating the PVC Tiki Burger.  It is made of potatoes, peas, carrots and spices topped with lettuce, tomato, avocado, microgreens, chipotle mayo & honee mustard.  In addition to the flavors, I like that I could see the veggies in this burger.  It wasn’t a patty of mashed or compressed vegetables.  I also enjoyed the Chipotle Bowl Salad made of romaine, black beans, avocado, quinoa, pico cashew dressing and cilantro dressing.  Do not leave purevegancafe with out trying an order of Sweet Potato Buffalo Ranch Fries!  Make sure you bring a friend or two to sample these fries because you may end up eating the whole basket like I did 😂. Special thanks to Pure Vegan Cafe for hosting me and bitesofbullcity for coordinating my visit. 2022-05-23 18:30:14 Pure Vegan Cafe is a.. 96 - 49 -19%

I love packing these 8.5 oz beverages on my weekend beach trips with only 69 calories and only 4.9% ABV!

Desserts are an essential for an Easter banquet.  If you’re looking for something different to grace your table, let me introduce you to the Chardonnay cake.  It’s a little reminiscent of a Rum cake with the exception of a couple of ingredients including Chardonnay.  IMO, this is a crowd pleaser.  The cake is also a great dessert to make ahead.  In fact, I do recommend making it one day in advance so that it can soak in the Chardonnay syrup. Recipe is on my bio link ⬆️. 2022-04-14 01:30:32 Desserts are an e.. 79 -18% 44 -27%
In case you’re in a frenzy trying to gather up a couple of last minute Easter recipes, I have a couple of food and drink suggestions for your Easter banquet that I will be sharing this week.  I love this Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecans Topping recipe, because you can actually make it a day in advance - plus, it’s one of my favorite sides.  This can be prepared in advance (details on the blog). If you prepare it in advance, all that you need to do is remove it from the refrigerator one hour before bake time.  You can certainly make it on Easter Sunday, but personally, I find making it ahead of time - is a huge time saver.  You can find the link in my bio but I will also share a link in my stories. 2022-04-13 05:30:02 In case you’re in a f.. 96 - 37 -38%

🎯GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED🎯 🍕🎉 thelooprestaurant $50 Giveaway🍕🎉 During a recent visit to The Loop in Durham, I had a chance to sample their Pinsa pizza.  What is Pinsa pizza?  The delicious pie has a cloud like, oval shaped crust that’s crunchy on the outside & soft on the inside.  Pinsa contains no preservatives or saturated fats. With half the calories of pizza, no cholesterol, salt or sugar, it’s made with a special blend of non-GMO flours (organic soy, rice & wheat) from
Italy.  Topped with your favorite pizza toppings, it’s a healthy alternative to traditional pizza.  Honestly, every piece is a slice of gluten-friendly easy-to-digest, crispy crunchy, light and healthy cloud like piece of heaven.  While I tried the “The Little Pigs” and “Sweet Max”,
my favorite was the “Isabella’s White” made with creamy goat cheese, fontina mozzarella, pepper, arugula tossed in lemon and evoo.  What I most loved about Pinsa Pizaza, aside from the flavors, is that I can eat a whole pie without feeling heavy or excessively full.  Now that I have shared a little about The Loop’s Pinsa Pizza, let’s get to the giveaway details!  To enter the GIVEAWAY, simply follow the rules below for a chance to win:

facerockcreamery is the Big Cheese in town and can be purchased at our local NC harristeeter .  I was recently gifted an assortment of their Extra Aged Cheddar, Vampire Slayer - Garlic Cheddar and In Your Face - Spicy 3 PepperCheddar.  While I am always game for an Extra Aged Cheddar, the Vampire Slayer was a fantastic surprise.  It’s garlicky and beautiful and makes a fantastic addition to my homemade Mac & Cheese.  It was definitely a winner!  While today may be taco Tuesday, I was in the mood for enchiladas.  Face Rock Creamery’s Spicy 3 PepperCheddar was perfect for this dish.  Ever try a cheese that claims to be spicy?  Well, this Spicy 3 PepperCheddar promises that big spicy kick.  I not only stuffed my enchiladas with the Spicy 3 PepperCheddar, but also used it to make a sour cream Spicy 3 PepperCheddar sauce to top my enchiladas.  Although these cheeses are fantastic to cook with, all three flavors are wonderful to snack on and pair with your favorite wine or cocktail.  The flavored cheeses are guaranteed to add a kick to your favorite dish or charcuterie board. facerockcreamery cheeses use premium, rich milk so there is no need or desire to add anything artificial or unnecessary.  Make sure to check out your local harristeeter for these delicious assortment of cheeses. 2022-03-08 23:30:07 facerockcreamery is t.. 106 +10% 32 -47%

I serve these pancakes alongside raspberry preserves, homemade whipped cream, maple syrup and fresh raspberries.  These pancakes also pair well with bacon, grits and macaroni and cheese - because why the hell not!  P.S.  Don’t forget the champagne.  Whatever you decide to do, I hope you enjoy time with your Valentine. 2022-02-12 23:30:03 Breakfast in .. 160 +67% 44 -27%
A friend once shared this bomb cake 💥 at a party and it was soooo good.  The wholefoods dessert called Mud Cake has three tiers of dark chocolate cake with layered dark chocolate butter cream and is covered in a dark chocolate ganache.  One of the bakers added a super cute Galentine’s Day decoration at no additional cost.  Best of all, the Mud Cake  is approximately $30.  Not an ad, but if you are a chocolate lover 🍫❤️🍫 in a pickle and not in the mood to bake 😉, I highly recommend this cake.  If you are lucky - like I was yesterday, you might find them readily available in their bakery case. However, to be safe you should call them in advance to place an order. 2022-02-11 23:31:00 A frien.. 116 +21% 44 -27%
