Flavor Buffet
Happy Friday, everyone!
This week’s Buffet is a little all over the place, but that’s essentially what a buffet is, right? From cream cheese to fritos, pad thai to salad, and my spring sneaker order, the Buffet has it all. Oh, and you must visit one of these restaurants this weekend. Find three of my absolute must-visit spots, below.
Have a great weekend!

How do you feel about cream cheese? Do you have a favorite brand? Apparently, the majority of us do! And it’s from Philadelphia.
While eating with one’s hands is not always seen as appropriate-in-public (at least around here), perhaps it should be. Check out this great piece which discusses why eating with your hands just makes the food taste better.
Doesn’t the phrase “Feel Better in 2020” sound awesome? I’m all for it. And so far, I’ve been feeling pretty good! Check out this guide to feeling even better this year with host of handy tips. A great one I’m working on is to never get to the point of hangry. ;)
In defense of why store-bought Fritos are a better option than trying to make them yourself. I can’t argue with that.
Cook
Italian Chopped Salad - a variety of textures and flavors make this salad perfect for a weeknight or even, dare I say it, a healthier Friday night. ;)
Vegetarian Bean Chili with Fritos - this sounds so good! Perfect for the winter. And I adore Fritos.
Pad Thai from Kris Yenbamroong - I think it’s about time we made pad Thai at home! Can’t wait to try this one…
Dine
A shout-out to excellent weekend haunts…
The Stones - I’ll take the veggie burger and fries right now, please. And their brunch is awesome, just FYI.
Adelita - Delicious, fresh food in a vibrant, relaxed atmosphere. Margaritas, chips, salsa, guacamole, tacos. It’s all there!
Oak Long Bar and Kitchen - spruce up your Sunday brunch (or Saturday) with a trip into Boston and eat, very well, here. I love the crab and avocado toast and the corned beef hash. GF bread available for most items. And there is a very helpful waitstaff!
Shop
Getting organized has never looked quite so chic. Currently debating which of these leather accessories I’d like to order for my work bag.
It’s only mid-January, but spring styles are on their way. I just ordered a new pair of Veja sneakers that will work with every warm-weather outfit (and jeans). Now, where’s the warmth?
These days, I’m a fan of staying well-hydrated (it’s important) and feeling good before and after workouts. I think I need this snazzy water-bottle-and-foam-roller in one. How handy!
Enjoy!
