Tasty Snaps

This month was a bit slow on the blog front. I only posted two recipes and I attribute a lot of that to a) traveling or keeping busy every weekend and b) not having enough light to shoot with when I get home at night. I know these are unacceptable excuses and for the month of November I have resolved to  post at least once a week, if not twice.

It was great fun, and although I wasn’t drinking anything but the small samples (I was the designated driver) I got to check out the food truck parked outside featuring sausages made with Dogfish Head Brew. I had a spicy espresso brat that was made with a touch of their chicory stout topped with Thai mustard.

Here are my instagram photos from August… it’s very Korean food heavy.

1. Packing lunch for work doesn’t have to be boring. Look at this little taco salad kit I had for lunch one day! Everything is packed separately for me to toss together for a quick and easy lunch. I think next time I will try to use less plastic baggies to decrease waste.
