Five Foodie Finds for Friday :: NYC.

Five foodie finds for Friday March 25 2016 (c)nwafoodie

 

Hi there.

If you stumbled upon my instagram or facebook feed last week, you would have quickly surmised, “hey Lyndi, you aren’t in (Ar)kansas anymore.” The hustle and bustle of NYC is in stark contrast to the quiet valleys and hills of the Ozarks back home and our I-wanna-be-like-a-big-city-but-we-aren’t rush hour on Hwy 49. Before I settle back to home sweet home, I want to share a few treasures from the Big Apple that are right at our fingertips. No cab fare needed.

1.

Brooklynese Cawffee tray. Every trip to the city is worth a quick five-minute browse in the Fish Eddy store located within a few blocks of the flatiron building. This jumbled storefront is full of whimsy and one-of-a-kind vintage NYC restaurant serve ware. This cawffee tray comes out whenever guests arrive at my doorsteps and the coffeepot goes on the stove.

 

2.

Albergian fig jam. Speaking of the flatiron district, no tourist should go without visiting Eataly, the large block-wide building filled with fish, pasta, gelato, espresso, produce, meats, books, and accessories with an emphasis on all things Italy. Also, throw in a half dozen restaurants and you can spend hours here. Dennis and I make it our first stop in the city to stock up on bottled waters and goodies for the room, such as this delicious fig jam and fruits. Ends up being much cheaper (and healthier!) than eating out constantly.

3.

Teak stirrer set. Keeping it within the neighborhood, one of my favorite places to pop in for a meal is the ABC Kitchen restaurant at ABC Home, virtually across the street from Fish Eddys and blocks away from Eataly. While waiting for a seat to open up at the restaurant, go downstairs to check out the artisan kitchen goodies and handmade treats that make a house a home. While most of the time my checkbook tells me to keep browsing and skip the hefty price tags, this time I splurged on these little teak coffee stirrers. A perfect addition to that cawffee tray.

4.

Small 7-inch tongs. Priced at just $1.50 each, these little tongs are one of my favorite discoveries in the city! I buy them for friends and family and I keep a handful in my kitchen drawer. Tiny, yet still a powerhouse. Snagged from J.B. Prince, located on the 6th floor of non-interesting building in Murray Hill with a non-descript lobby ithat houses only an elevator and that sinking feeling that you may be entering a super-scary place when DING! The elevator opens and viola, and bright and beautiful showroom full of goodies. This is where the chefs go.

5.

Dozen bagels. New York City isn’t New York City without bagels. Now you can have them delivered to your door from the oldest still-standing appetizing store (since 1914) in Manhattan. Want the authentic cream cheese and lox, too? Yeah, they gottem.

Happy (virtual) Big Apple shopping.

Eat well, my friends. Eat well.
Lyndi

    If I ever visit New York, I'm having those bagels delivered – so then I can be like, "Boys, your breakfast is at the door."

    I'm so ready for a trip to NYC! It's always an adventure, isn't it? I think Eunamae's has spoons similar to your stirrers only they are tasting spoons. Are yours smaller? And those bagels….well, of course! Do you think Carnegie Deli would ship one of their corned beef sandwiches cause I'm really hungry right now:)

Are you using your pressure cooker to its fullest Are you using your pressure cooker to its fullest potential? I've barely scratched the surface but I gotta' tell you... I use it all week long for soups! Recently I decided that I wanted to use it to make a dessert and started browsing around on Pinterest. I decided to make creme brulee in my Instant Pot! After playing around with it, I posted (link in bio) a recipe for creme brulee with a touch of lemon.🍋
I don't really have a sweet tooth yet I always hav I don't really have a sweet tooth yet I always have a "little something" in the pantry to satisfy the little bit of sweet tooth that I have! After a zillion years of blogging, I can count on one hand the number of desserts that I've blogged about. So, when I do create a recipe and actually post it, I'm like, "Look at me, I'm a baker now!" hahaha Actually, it's not all about baking. For example, I just posted a recipe for Instant Pot creme brulee with a touch of lemon. Link in bio, of course! The ingredients are super simple and the pressure cooker makes it super fast and easy. Best of all? It is #lowcarb and #keto!
I don't know about you, but man I love a good sala I don't know about you, but man I love a good salad. The best thing about this salad (okay, besides the taste) is that the ingredients are sooooo easy to make ahead of time. That means you can dinner prep and toss this salad together at the last moment. As all good salad should do.⁠
The stars of this healthy salad are the hearty veggies: sweet potatoes and radishes. You’re going to roast them first. That’s right, roast!
A healthy salad is wholesome. Substantial. Strong A healthy salad is wholesome. Substantial. Strong enough to sail on its own, yet perfectly willing to tag along with the main course. In fact, I think you’ll love serving this salad whenever you may have someone at the dinner table that is drawn to more-veggies and less-meat.⁠
⁠
It’s pretty isn’t it?
Savoring.⁠ Not rushed. ⁠ Not complicated. ⁠ Savoring.⁠

Special. ⁠
Eating happily is in the moments of a meal.⁠
⁠
Do I do this with every meal moment? I don't, yet I'm trying. And, when I do... it IS really special. Not special like, oooo look at this perfectly grilled filet with candles and fresh flowers. Instead, it's more like, hey - look at this moment we're enjoying  together or alone. It's about savoring, keeping it simple, and really focusing on the moment.⁠
⁠
I recently traveled and someone commented that they could never have me over because they would be embarrassed to cook for me because they don’t cook fancy. That made me sad and I was quick to say how much I focus on the simple things, the simple foods. The ones that aren't fancy! Honestly, mostly my food may look complicated but that's just styling. If you look at my pictures on my IG profile - or recipes on my blog - they're simple. Simple ingredients. Pecans. Beans. Fish. Martinis. :)⁠
⁠
If you ever need encouragement that you're on the right track by slowing down to savor, I'm here for you.
Oh hi! Want to know what makes me cheerful?⁠ ⁠ Oh hi! Want to know what makes me cheerful?⁠
⁠
A well-stocked pantry, that's what.⁠
⁠
I find that keeping a lean and purposeful pantry makes me breathe easier AND - ironically - makes me more creative in the kitchen. Have you ever felt that way?⁠
⁠
I am curious to know what are the top ingredients that you like to keep stocked in your pantry. 
⁠
I'll start:⁠
⁠
1) nuts for snacks⁠
2) canned diced tomatoes (for soup)⁠
3) small yellow potatoes⁠
4) spices⁠
5) pre-made sauces (for last minute assistance)⁠
⁠
Your turn!

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
