Wandering Boston Eater

A spontaneous morning brainchild featuring leftover grocery store puff pastry sheets, kimchi, cheese, and of course the dynamic duo of kale and brussel sprouts.

Any meal becomes a breakfast meal when we put an egg on it.

Using leftover phở broth, this quick and easy egg drop soup comes together in a matter of minutes, making for a flavorful and comforting soup to start the day.

Not your traditional bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast goodie! Let's make usage of the savory and flaky scallion pancake and add in some kimchi for an extra umami and pungent bite.

If you haven’t appreciated ricotta toast previously, this is your moment to bring ricotta toast to your radar. This ricotta toast is savory, acidic, and balanced out with creaminess and a pinch of sweetness and spice. A perfect balance of flavor and of course, I put an egg on it.

A one-skillet meal that is both satisfying and easy to make: kale & corned beef hash. I enjoy having the fixings with the starchy potatoes and adding in kale to ensure I get my servings of greens throughout the day.

Another round of test kitchen meals, throwing together a quick breakfast in between life working my corporate job from home. This yogurt egg dish wasn’t the most glamorous meal, but it was comforting and filling, hitting the notes of creamy and savory - paired with a crunchy piece of sourdough and I was satisfied.

A comforting, light Vietnamese soup made with fresh chicken broth and cellophane noodles. Cellophane noodles (Miến) are transparent noodles typically made with a starch like mung beans, sweet potatoes, or tapioca.

A creamy, spicy tomato sauce mixed with rigatoni for a comforting meal after a long week.

A savory dip with a hint of sweetness and spice perfect with a bread or vegetables. Made with Greek yogurt and a fresh hot honey oil, this ten minute snack will wow your guests the next time you host a gathering.

An at-home test kitchen attempt at making a savory Dutch baby for brunch for one, with parmesan, garlic, and scallions.

A savory snack great for meal prep early on in the week, or a crowd-pleaser to accompany your veggie boards.

A crowd-pleasing recipe for brown butter matcha white chocolate chip cookies.

Hi everybody, my name is Brenda. And I moved from Boston to San Francisco via Amtrak solo during the pandemic.

On January 11 and 12 at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, the Travel & Adventure Show is back! I’m excited to get an idea of where in the world I could explore next.

Have you been wondering what you should be drinking or eating lately? In this guide, not only do I include a visual map, but I also detail what I personally like and don’t like and why I recommend the places for casual eats or snacks, restaurants with beverage programs I have enjoyed, and places I go to for cocktails or wine.

Copenhagen is notorious for being an expensive city in Europe. I spontaneously booked this trip a month prior to departure, and only had so much money to spend. I challenged myself to spend a total under $1000 USD while still indulging and enjoying my time (and not resorting to eating microwave food).

Sometimes, we just want to get away, and I had the opportunity to do exactly that with Getaway House. Driving to just outside of Boston, I spent a weekend being “one with nature” as I unplugged (as much as possible), cooked, relaxed, and hung out by the campfire.

My first solo trip abroad  didn’t quite go as planned. Regardless, I made new friends along the way, and learned a valuable lesson while learning more about myself as an individual.

Are you trying to figure out where to take your date around Boston? Here are a handful of places I recommend based on what your date may like to eat and drink.

A sister adventure in Iceland and how we happily survived a road trip along the Golden Circle together. Adventures of catching waterfalls,  trekking over glaciers and relaxing in the Blue Lagoon are memories only two hungry, wandering sisters can share.

Los Angeles meant the end of the road trip. With an evening, a full day, and a half day to spend in the city, there was only so much time to show my cousin where to eat and wander for her first time in SoCal.

What is a west coast road trip without driving down Highway One? From McWay Falls to a detour on Nacimiento Road, we had our second-to-last destination of Madonna Inn before the last leg of our road trip.

Only a day and a half in San Francisco and a brief stopover in San Jose? This was certainly not enough time to enjoy the Bay Area, but we’ll take what we can get.

During my time in San Francisco, I partnered with Kimpton Hotels and stayed at their location in Union Square: Sir Francis Drake Hotel. This location was perfect for the day and a half I stayed in the Bay Area.

From Portland to San Francisco with a pit stop at the Redwoods, and a Red Scion tailing us for miles and miles on end. What else could happen during our fifteen hours of being on the road?
