My Top 10 in New York City

This summer, differing from my normal intentions of plenty of beach time and music, I spent my summer working hard during an internship, a taste of what my life is to become in the coming years post culinary school. I was lucky enough to land an internship at Gramercy Tavern, a New York institution as…

Restaurant Week Bliss: Kitchen

Restaurant Week was last week, guys. As I have stated before, I love Restuarant Week. Although the prices are a little north of what I usually post, since its still a steal (apps, entrees, and dessert at these places is definitely more than $38 a person) I think it still applies as frugal. This year,…

Cheap Eats: The Hop, Beacon, New York

Last weekend, I was lucky enough to get to go home and see my parents for a bit. I didn’t just steal my mom’s recipe from her, I also went out into the town as well. I’d been meaning to try The Hop for a bit, since I’ve only heard good things from friends that…

Cheap Eats: Shake Shack

First off, today is Frugal Foodie’s one–year anniversary! Super exciting, and the year has gone by super–fast. I certainly have a lot more to do in the kitchen so here’s to many more! Speaking of stuff to say about food, The Russian and I went to Shake Shack, finally, last week.  Everybody lost their minds…

Trying Something New

I don’t usually go out. I’m not anti–social or anything, I just like hanging out at home and eating and drinking with a few friends. You’d be hard pressed, however, to find me out at a bar on a typical Friday (or any day). I’m just that lazy.  When I checked my Twitter last week,…

Guys, click the link below, it was passed on to me by a travel site for those who cannot cook this year, there’s still time for you to head to one of these luxury hotels (I wish!) and try some delicious food without lifting a finger.  It’s not exactly frugal, but it’s the time of…

Recipe: Pizza Night!

I’m super excited about this post cause I have wanted to try and make my own pizza for a while now.  I even trained on the pizza station at my job on Newbury Street (the same place that inspired one of my pizzas in this recipe).  I heard from a good friend that I could…

Recipe: Peach–Bluberry Tart

First off, happy 100th post to me! It’s been so fun writing this blog and I hope my readers enjoy my cooking as much as I enjoy making it.  Here’s to another 100 blog posts. Sometimes you can get inspiration from anywhere, and just a picture can set off a wonderful cooking experience.  That’s what…

Cheap Eats: Barcelona Wine Bar

The Russian and I have recently made the move out to Brighton, and while its farther out than our old place in Fenway, it certainly has given me a whole new group of restaurants and areas to check out, which is awesome. It’s good to know the city in which you live. So after I…
