One of my favorite donut shops, Donut King, has recently relocated. I went to visit the new location and thought I’d tell you all about it. During my 52 Donuts journey, I visited the original Donut King at the urging of my friend Sheila. It was the donut shop of her childhood. It was such…
Sweet of the Week #20i, Chai spice Sugar Cookies
I love a good sugar cookie. When Christina suggested adding Chai to cookies, I wasn’t sure how it would work out. I occasionally drink Masala Chai (the spiced tea most people refer to simply as Chai) and couldn’t wrap my head around how the spice blend would work in a cookie. It worked very well,…
Food on a Stick #27 and #28, Chocolate Covered Strawberry and Cherry Covered Banana on a Stick
While working at the Kentucky State Fair, I met Melissa and her mom. They were also working at the State Fair. Over the course of 12 days, we chatted several times about Food on a Stick and a few times Melissa and her mom dropped by our sculpture installation to show me their latest finds….
Sweet of the Week #19i, Chyavanprash Cake
This week’s Ingredient is Chyavanprash, an Ayurvedic tonic with the consistency of a really sticky jam, almost tar-like. I spotted jars of it at my favorite yoga studio and asked Sarah, an Ayurvedic practitioner, for the scoop. The ingredients in Chyavanprash vary depending on who makes it. I used the Banyan Botanicals variety and it…
I Ate Here: 715
Eating in a college town is always easy/easier for me, as vegetarian options are plentiful. Last week I had dinner with friends in Lawrence, Kansas at 715. While not one of the veggie-centric restaurants I frequent in Lawrence, it was a delicious dinner! My friend Deanne made the dinner reservation via OpenTable and noted that…
I Ate Here: Blue Koi
This week I went to a dinner meetup of the #BlogKC group at Blue Koi. Gatherings like this can be hard for gluten-free folks, not all restaurants are accommodating or aware of our needs. Add to that the challenge of a group of 20+ people ordering at the same time and the potential for being…
I Ate Here: Cheeseburger in Paradise
I Ate Here is a new feature on my blog. While not exactly a restaurant review (because I don’t feel I can fairly review a restaurant in one visit), I will share with you the vegetarian, gluten-free meal I ate. Soon I’ll have a resource page listing the restaurants I’ve visited. So here it is,…
Food on a Stick #26, Popcorn Ball in Liquid Nitrogen
Every year, the folks at Murphy’s bring interesting new treats to the Kentucky State Fair. In 2010, they had a fancy new liquid nitrogen set-up. I was excited to see what they were doing with Fair Food and liquid nitrogen. Murphy’s was selling the Popcornsicle, a rapidly frozen popcorn ball on a stick. The popcornsicle…
Food on a Stick #25, Fair Squares
Fair Squares the official treat of the Iowa State Fair. They are enormous Rice Krispie Treats on a Stick and a bargain at only $2. At the 2010 Iowa State Fair, these were available in regular and peanut butter flavors. Neither John nor I eat marshmallows (most marshmallows contain gelatin which isn’t vegetarian), so we…
Food on a Stick #24, Dutch Letters
I mentioned Pella, Iowa before when writing about the bologna on a stick. Dutch Letters are another food that Pella is known for. Dutch Letters (almost always an “S”) are puffy pastry filled with almond paste, skewered and baked. The fair food-variety reminds me of a churro without cinnamon. John bought a Dutch Letter for…
