Food Song of the Month: It’s Pudding Time by Primus
Inspired by the recent accidental chocolate ice cream post, the Food Song of the Month is called “It’s Pudding Time.” When Bay Area band Primus put out the album Frizzle Fry back in the early 90s, it was one of the strangest, most beautiful albums I’d heard. With singer/bassist Les Claypool’s manic playing and cartoonish-voice, […]
Lemon Garlic Butter Pasta (Vegan and GF Friendly)
This lemon garlic butter pasta is a variation of a common Italian pasta dish. If done right it strikes a great balance between creamy and tangy. Make it gluten free by using a GF pasta like De Boles, or Contes. Make it vegan by substituting non-dairy milk and smart balance instead of butter. Prep Time: […]
Accidental Chocolate Ice Cream / Pudding Recipe (Gluten Free)
It’s pudding time, children! (And accidental ice cream) I had no idea how easy pudding was until seeing this recipe via WednesdayChef via Smitten Kitchen. It’s only a half dozen ingredients and naturally gluten free. To make it vegan and dairy free just swap in vegan chocolate chips and non-dairy milk. The only changes I […]
Confections of a Rockstar Review (Asbury Park, NJ)
Asbury Park New Jersey’s rock pedigree is well-known, so it’s appropriate that the town that gave us Bruce Springstein among others would have a bakery called Confections of a Rockstar. Co-owned by Kimmee Masi of the band Our Last Sin, it’s a quaint but fun bakery located at 550 Cookman Avenue. Rock Memorabilia adorns the […]
Product Reviews: Chebe Cinnamon Sticky Buns
Gluten free sticky buns? What is this sorcery? This box from Chebe was picked up at Stop and Shop for $3.99 – not a bad price for GF but you do have to add in eggs, butter, milk, brown sugar and cinnamon. Well, at least it’s all stuff already at home for most folks. Whereas […]
Tamarind Tuna Salad Recipe
This variation of standard American tuna salad adds some zing and color from the tamarind chutney. My go-to is the Swad brand because it already has some sugar, chili powder, and garlic in it. If you can’t find this type of chutney in your area, tamarind concentrate can be used but it will be necessary […]
Non-Breakfast Eaters Beware
It turns out that the old adage “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day” is still as valid as ever. A new study claims that those who skip breakfast have a 27% higher chance of dying of a heart attack or coronary heart disease than those who didn’t. The study which appeared in […]

Food Memories: Pork Roll (Taylor Ham)
New Jersey is associated with many things. Sinatra, Asbury Park, fresh produce, shady politics, the turnpike….and then there is pork roll. It’s nearly impossible to find a grocery store, diner or boardwalk not selling pork roll. And as its 46k+ likes on Facebook will attest, it is the preeminent breakfast meat of the Garden State […]
