I Tried the Home Chef Meal Delivery Kit, and I'm Hooked
People are ordering kits that teach you how to make gourmet dishes, complete with pre-packaged ingredients sealed for freshness. It's a concept that seems so simple, and yet has revolutionized the way that people do dinner.

The Future of Sazon and Adobo Is Loisa. Top Story - April 2019.
Through all my memories of existing in a Puerto Rican household, there was one constant that was never questioned. It was always there in our pantries, in our foods, in every supermarket we’d set foot in. It was the secret to delicious meals that I desperately try to replicate today. The bright orange packaging of sazon and the yellow and blue bottle of adobo are as prevalent and loved in my life as for others, but how did this happen, what are we actually eating, and why?

Amazing Restaurants in California to Keep an Eye On
Exploring and trying new dishes is amazing, which is exactly what I did when I moved to California. There's definitely a lot of popular restaurants but I've chosen three best places, each different from the last: one healthy life-changing, another is a traditional hot noddle restaurant and of course a taco place, duh.

New York City Food
New York City style hot dogs, especially with sauerkraut, sweet relish, onion sauce, ketchup, and/or mustard. Manhattan clam chowder has a clear broth, plus tomato for red color and flavor. In the 1890s, it was called “New York Clam Chowder” and “Fulton Fish Market” clam chowder. According to Good Eats, the addition of tomatoes in place of milk was actually the work of Portuguese immigrants.

Remember the Bread Machine?
Oh yeah, you may not hear a lot about it anymore, but there are still a lot of people still using their bread machine or bread maker. When these fantastic machines came out, they were a big hit, because the machine does most, or all, of the work for you. You no longer have to have a floured board and rolling pin to make bread products from scratch. The only thing is that I have not seen grocery shelves full of bread machine mixes like there used to be. Every now and then, I see a couple of boxes. They kind of went by the wayside, which made everyone think it was a fad when in fact, people have learned how to mix their own bread mixes for their machine, and, yes, they still sell them! But, you may have to go to the specialty stores to find them.

Part 1—What is a Restaurant Today?
So, you want to open a restaurant? Well, you are not alone. In terms of new business startups, restaurants are always—always—at the top of the list. Why? Because many people simply want to be restaurateurs. Maybe it's because they are actually—or believe they are—good cooks. Maybe it's because they have their mom's "secret" family recipes. Maybe it's because they are actually trained chefs. Maybe it is because they have worked for other people's restaurants and want to take what they've learned and put that knowledge to work for themselves. Maybe it is because they want to make a bunch of money. And maybe, and it's often the case, people see themselves as being "the toast of the town," celebrated for being the proprietor of the new, "it" place to be on the dining scene.

Mission BBQ—Thanking Vets with Brisket
Hello, and welcome back to Local Flavors where I find new dining experiences in the Nashville area. Now, originally I didn't intend to cover chains in this column. It was supposed to be about spotlighting little-known spots that could be missed, similar to the purpose of my Second Chances series. However, I do feel it worth talking about the Mission BBQ chain for three important reasons:

Cafe Mocha Espresso with Biscotti
Okay, I'm not going to lie to you. I'm no pro when it comes to espresso, but I know what I like, and that's the important thing. Fact is, I am not good at making that all important foam and artistic pictures like hearts, swans, and such. You don't have to be! But I did recently find out about the steam that makes the foam. Don't feel bad if you mess this up, even burn yourself learning how to do it, because it kind of takes practice. So, keep trying you'll get it, at least that's what they tell me! :-)

10 Recipes from the 1940s You'll Actually Enjoy
Can you taste the past? If records work the way they should, you just might be able to (just look at authentic Civil War recipes if you don't believe me). When you taste recipes from specific times in history, you can get a better look into the life people lived back in the day. That's why I love the idea of eating like a typical person from different time periods.
