eating out
Chickpea Tagine
Carlo and I just got back from five glorious days in Austin. Aside from a 24 hour visit in December, it was the first time that both of us had been there together since my brother graduated from UT in May 2008. The whole trip was a blur of laughter, smiles, hanging out with friends, [...]
Spanish Tapas: Bacon-Wrapped Dates Stuffed with Almonds
When my sister and brother-in-law visited us a couple of weeks ago, we took them to Downtown Las Vegas where we had a delicious dinner at Firefly. Firefly is a great Spanish restaurant loved by locals and tourists alike, and their new downtown location is really cool. The restaurant is in the Dome of the [...]
Pineapple Fried Rice
Every Tuesday this fall, the Whole Foods in Town Square (where the contestants did all of their shopping on Top Chef Las Vegas) has been hosting cooking classes taught by different chefs from the Wynn and Encore resorts. I have been to quite a few of them, but perhaps my favourite cooking class was taught [...]
Murgh Makhani (Butter Chicken)
We love Indian food, but despite the ethnic food riches available in Las Vegas, we’ve struggled a bit to find much good Indian cooking here (though there is one new candidate). In any case, one of my favorite dishes has always been Chicken Tikka Masala. I know it’s not very “real” Indian cuisine, and it’s [...]
Thanksgiving Dinner: Brussels Sprouts with Bordelaise Sauce and Bacon
In addition to the incredible Potato Puree we ate at Craftsteak a couple of weeks ago, we also had the most divine Brussels Sprouts with Bordelaise Sauce and Bacon. They tasted like a meat dish despite being veggie-based due to the rich wine sauce and bacon, which as you know makes everything exponentially more delicious. [...]
Kogi BBQ Tacos
A big trend in food right now is the emergence of food carts around the country, especially in cities like Portland, San Francisco, and LA. These mobile gourmet kitchens serve street food kicked up a notch, and perhaps one of the best known food carts is the Kogi BBQ truck in LA, which uses Twitter [...]
Thai Chicken, Zucchini, and Tomato Curry
Often times I crave Thai food, and I’ll either make Carlo head across town with me to our favourite Thai restaurant in Vegas, Lotus of Siam, or we will be lazy and order take out from Pin Kaow, which is no where as good as Lotus of Siam, but they deliver. However this fast and [...]
Crab, Avocado, and Asparagus Salad
Okay, this Crab, Avocado, and Asparagus Salad isn’t the most budget friendly recipe we have posted on Recession Recipes, but it was pretty damn awesome, even if it cost $4.90 per serving to feed 4 people. While that might be quite pricey for some home cooking, think about how much crab salads go for in [...]
Cheap Salad on the Run
Making your own food is invariably almost always cheaper than going out to eat or picking up some takeout. However, life doesn’t necessarily always give you an option to make lunch. When I’m on the run or just can’t be bothered to make anything, Whole Foods has this incredible new line of prepared and packaged [...]
