A Year in Review: Food
I always looks forward to writing the food section for “Thought I Might Suggest”. I don’t think I’m a particularly skilled cook in the kitchen, but I try to find a mix of food I can actually cook, food I would love to try, and food I have tried and curate my findings on this … Continue reading
A Year in Review – Drinks
Since today marks the beginning of the last full week of 2013, I have decided to reflect on some my favorite posts I have featured on “Thought I Might Suggest”. I continue to surprise myself with all the new music, food, artists, designs, film, television, and fashion I have discovered and continue to discover. I … Continue reading
eat: Pumpkin Pie Dutch Baby Pancakes with Cinnamon Streusel
I have always wanted to make a Dutch baby pancake, I always saw pictures of this puffy pancake, which rises like a popover in the oven, which contributes to its light and airy texture and once out of the oven, it comes back down to size, the outer edges raised and crispy while the center … Continue reading
drink: Spiced Pumpkin Cider
I have decided to cave: after weeks of successful dodging posts that highlight the “it” vegetable of the season, pumpkin, I have given into my indulgences with this post and with good reason. If you were one of the very few people who checked out this blog when I started it last August, you might … Continue reading
eat: Butternut Squash Soup
I recently had lunch at Panera Bread and I noticed that one of my favorite soups, Autumn Squash, was back on the menu and with no hesitations, I ordered a bowl. This soup takes the traditional butternut squash soup and takes it to another level. It is a mix of squash and pumpkin puree that … Continue reading
drink: Pumpkin Gingerbread Smoothie
I’m confused by the weather on the East Coast. One day it’s cold and rainy, the next day it’s sunny and warm. Then you blink and it starts to snow. It makes me confused about food and drink. Is it OK to drink a smoothie in 30 degree weather? It is too warm for a … Continue reading
Watch: It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
It’s hard to imagine a national holiday without a Charlie Brown special airing on national television. What better way to celebrate Halloween than with the classic Peanuts special, “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”? Sally’s “sweet bambino”, Linus, with his security blanket in hand, heads out on his annual voyage to the pumpkin patch in … Continue reading
Eat: Black Bean and Pumpkin Soup
After weeks of buildup, today is officially Halloween and it would be horrible to not highlight a recipe that didn’t have pumpkin in it. I recently have become obsessed with black bean soup. It’s a deceptively hearty soup that has a lot of fiber and protein, so it’s good for you. Oh yeah, and it’s … Continue reading
Eat: Pumpkin Gnocchi with Sage Butter and Feta
It’s been a while since I wrote about pumpkin, which is extremely odd considering tis the season for pumpkin flavors, so to make amends, I found a recipe that looks just as delicious as it tastes. You would be surprised how easy it is to make gnocchi, it just takes a little patience. Also, there … Continue reading
Drink: Pumpkin Spice Latte
You know it’s officially fall when Starbucks starts to offer pumpkin spice lattes in their infamous holiday cups. It’s probably one of the best times of the year: the leaves are changing colors, the weather is getting cooler, people are bundled up in scarves and sweaters while walking around with their red Starbucks cups. It … Continue reading
