For those of you who don’t have your own kitchen, or maybe are about to move out on your own, the question of what tools you need in the kitchen in order to put basic meals together will come up. We’re talking a little about that today, giving some advice to those of you who [...]

episode 81 :: business as usual

I’m back after nearly a two month leave of absence with a good excuse for not being around. My first real Brazilian BBQ experience back in June resulted in one of the greatest treats on earth – Pão de queijo, a Brazilian take on classic French Gougères. Warm, doughy, cheesy bites of heaven, Pão de [...]

episode 80 :: money meal

Last month, I posted a question to the My Life as a Foodie Facebook group. I asked for your “money meal.” Name the one meal that you could make in your sleep – your go to dish when you have to make something. It’s the one meal you can make without looking at a recipe [...]

episode 79 :: the heming way

As we kick off the beginning of Season 5 of My Life as a Foodie, we’re joined by Marty Beckerman, author of a very funny book available now. “The Heming Way – How to unleash the booze inhaling, animal slaughtering, war-glorifying, hairy-chested, retro-sexual legend within – just like Papa” calls out the modern man for [...]

episode 78 :: elitism

Everyone makes a lifestyle choice. There are times when yours may rub people the wrong way. It is then when your lifestyle choice suddenly becomes an issue for them. In some cases, they may get the impression that you feel superior to them in one way or another. It’s all subjective, of course. But it’s [...]

episode 77 :: animal

I am an unapologetic carnivore. I refuse to feel bad for this. I won’t feel guilty about it. Not for a single second. I love eating meat. I love to meet vegetarians and vegans because, when I do, I realize that these people represent one less person I have to compete with at the meat [...]

episode 76 :: eat local, eat fresh

Unless you’ve been sleeping under a rock for the past couple of years, you know that my state – California – is in financial trouble. We need help, desperately. And we need that help from the very people who populate this state. Thanks to agricultural leaders who recently gathered at the state capital for California [...]

dude food :: episode 7 :: french fries

As easy to make as they are to completely screw up, french fries (otherwise known as “chips” in England, “frites” in France) is a side dish that goes with just about anything. A hamburger is lonely without a pile of fries next to it, and they’re the perfect compliment to that steak we cooked in [...]

episode 75 :: enough already!

When travel and food programming turns the page and somehow manages to turn your stomach in the process, it’s hard to call that show a success. That’s happening now, and it needs to stop. For all of the interesting places shows like No Reservations and Bizarre Foods have given us a glimpse of, the last [...]

episode 74 :: starch madness

In honor of the annual NCAA Basketball Tournament, we’re going to do a bracket tournament of food. To be more specific, starchy foods – an homage to the carbohydrate. It’s the evil enemy of all Atkin’s dieters, and one of my greatest assets. I wouldn’t have the energy to exercise without it. More pasta, please. [...]
