NYC eating

I spent a long weekend in New York City a few weeks ago, which meant a good break from cooking and a GREAT excuse to eat out at lots of trendy and delicious restaurants. I didn't document all of my eatings, but here's a sampling of some of the deliciousness.


On my first night, my friend and host for the weekend Molly both ordered dumpling soups at the aptly named Plump Dumpling in the Village. Apparently its opening started some controversy with competing dumpling shack Dumpling Man. But the dumplings were super tasty!


Next we discovered the wonderfulness that is Rice to Riches, a rice pudding place which features over 20 different flavors. And I, in my ignorance, didn't even realize that rice pudding came in different flavors! I got chocolate chip, and Molly got chocolate hazelnut. My view of rice pudding is forever changed.





On my last day we got takeout from Sarabeth's and ate it in Central Park.






Here I am with my four flowers juice from Sarabeth's- a blend of orange, pineapple, banana, and pomegranate juice. Yum!

More soon.

I've just moved out of the dorms and into a house! A new house means a new kitchen, which means new and delicious things to cook. Hence, Honey Roasted is born. I'm hoping this blog will be a place for me to share my recipes and food lovin' with others. Check back for more updates soon.

So let's start at the beginning, with the basics. Campbell's tomato soup will forever be a quick-and-easy college favorite. But to jazz up an old classic, I added spinach, onions, garlic salt, and italian herbs. Add some croutons and freshly shaved cheddar on top, and voila! Campbell's reinvented.
