Yak and Yeti Indian Restaurant

What can I say… the Yak and Yeti was a huge let down after all of the hype I’ve heard about it. We took the entire family to experience Indian curry, including my eight year old son who was just recently diagnosed with celiac disease. For those that don’t know what that is, it’s a disease, not just an allergy that can cause a person to get very ill. When we let the waitress know that we couldn’t have anything that had wheat in it she suggested we stay away from the curry and anything menu item that was fried. Seriously? Fried foods I understand but the curry? I’ve made a handful of curries and I’ve never encountered a recipe that had wheat in it?

East Moon Asian Restaurant

If you’ve ever stumbled across a song on the radio that became your favorite song you know what it’s like to try a restaurant with no real expectations and be blown away but the full experience. That is exactly what happened with East Moon. We had very little expectation and we were “wow’d” at every turn. The atmosphere is amazing. Relaxed, intimate, casual and just a tiny bit trendy. It’s been a wile since I’ve thought to myself, this is great food! Great food is more than what is on your plate, it’s about well-crafted meals at good prices surrounded by clean and appealing mood and decor.

I love a clever idea in a holiday them. This may be ove the top a bit and certainly off the list for a gluten free family. But I do appreciate the creative work and presentation.

Everyone has an opinion on kitchen tools and basics. It’s always interesting to get the perspective of non-chefs and I think LifeHackers qualify for a non-chef badge. Just everyday dudes that like to geek out. There is some good and valuable stuff in this article.

I love the way that Google analyzes things. They really are good at it. But, they might be even better at nickel and dime-ing the calories out of their workers.

Ch ch ch chia micro-greens

Eat more greens! Really, even in the winter months you can still get your greens for a little freshness and crunch. I grew these chia (yes chai) micro-greens in about a week. Chia is a very nutrient dense plant either in seed form or as a micro-green. They’ve got more antioxidants that blueberries and a good dose of dietary fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. I’m hoping to get ahold of some micro-green basil seeds which I hear are very potent.

Gluten Free - Fond memories of pizza dough

In our ongoing search for the best gluten free pizza dough, we’ve tried a handful of different options. Some resemble what can best be described as dusty cardboard, while others have the texture of cooked play-dough. But just about all brands fall short of the magic that is regular, glutenous pizza dough. We’ve learneda few things along the way about what you can expect when it comes to gluten free pizza dough, and what to just let go.
