Tacolandia 2015!

This past is a little different than normal.
I'm not sharing about anything I made,
but instead about something fun I did this past weekend!

If you follow me on Instagram,
you may have already seen some of the fun. 

On Saturday, I had the opportunity to attend Tacolandia.
Tacolandia was held in Downtown Los Angeles
and over 80 taco vendors were showing off their yummy tacos.

Keep reading to see some of tacos I ate and the fun I had!

We took the Red Line Subway from Universal City...

To Union Station Downtown!

And after a short wait to get our wristbands...

It was time to start eating tacos!!!

And of course drink some yummy beer too!
Gotta wash down the tacos somehow, right?

After trying too many tacos to count,
I was already past the point of being full...

But then we saw there was a past Top Chef serving Filthy Tacos!
They apparently get their name from the cut of brisket that's used.

Katsuji Tanabe himself was making the tacos!

And while it was the longest line we waited in all day,
they were, without a doubt, my favorite taco I tried!
At this point I was already super stuffed, 
but you better believe I ate the whole thing!

After spending a few hour at Tacolandia,
my feet were sore and my belly was more than full...

So I grabbed a Club Soda on the way out
and headed back to Union Station to catch the subway!

Saturday's event was the third annual Tacolandia.
If they have one again next year,
there's a pretty good chance I'll be there again!
And you should too!!!

Labor Day Food!

Since I just got back from Kansas City, I just wanted to stay in LA and have a fun and relaxing weekend at home. And what long holiday weekend would be complete without some delicious homemade food? Not one that I'm part of, that's for sure! 

Last night, I had a few friends over for an assortment of tasty appetizers. It was a great time with lots of amazing food. I knew it was a success because we were ALL stuffed by the end of the evening.

Deviled Eggs, Caprese Skewers, Bacon Wrapped Bleu Cheese Stuffed Dates and Fresh Melon!

But wait...there's more!!!

Homemade Soft Pretzels, Sriracha Fried Pickles, French Macaroons and M&M Cookies!

Hope you all had an amazing long holiday weekend! Back to work tomorrow for me, but check back soon for other tasty treats!!

Apps For Dinner!

Last night, I had the pleasure of enjoying some amazing appetizers, yummy drinks and the company of two wonderful neighbors! 

Earlier in the week, I had talked to my friend Elina about possibly making something yummy to eat and hanging out one night this weekend. It turned out that Friday night worked best for us and we decided on making a bunch of appetizers instead of one big meal. And let me say - that was a GREAT decision because we got to enjoy so many different things without stuffing ourselves crazy!

Take a look at all the goodies we got to enjoy while having a nice relaxing evening at home.  

The Goods!
I'm not going to list it all because 
the list would just go on and on and on.

Elina chopping mini heirloom tomatoes for the bruschetta!

And basil for the bruschetta too!

Dates - stuffed with bleu cheese, wrapped in bacon and 
WAITING to be baked then devoured!

Cheese and Meat Plate - YUM!!!

The WHOLE spread!
Bacon Wrapped Dates
Meat and Cheese with Crackers
Bruschetta - With or Without Arugula 
Jalapeno Stuffed Olives
Cantaloupe, Mango and Kiwi
Oh and some Wine and Beer too!!!

Just a little sampling of the deliciousness!

I can't wait for the next neighbor dinner and drink hang out. It's always lots of fun and good food is a guarantee!
