Last chance to get a taste of fall 🍁 at ☕️ Coffee House before they switch to their winter menu ⛄️

The Smashing pumpkins latte is my favorite coffee indulgence this time of year ... all scratch made , premium and organic ingredients. They use for all of their full menu.

Wifey loves their use of earthy tones and their Brown Butter Sage latte is just what she needed to start our rainy Saturday of madness before Thanksgiving week consumes our sanity 🤪 🦃

How do you refuel after a 2 hour mountain bike trail ???

Wifey found this hidden gem in Wading River after an intense ride in Calverton (swipe for POV footage of the trail)

Watermark of Wading River was just what we needed with an impression selection of brunch options.

🍳 I had the Caprese omelette with prosciutto, tomato, mozzarella and basil pesto. The multi grain toast was to die for and the side of bacon 🥓 (not pictured) was perfectly crisp.

🥪 Wifey enjoyed the brioche bacon egg and cheese sandwich with a side of fresh fruit

🦀 The kid enjoyed his crab cake sandwich

We ordered cheese blintzes to share and can't wait to go back and try the pancakes and waffles.
The table next to us has a burrata avocado toast that looked like a show stopper!!!

☕️ My cappuccino and my wife's iced coffee were also on point.

We will be back this fall!!!

Found this lemon pasta and had to try it. The pasta is delicate and the lemon from the pasta isn't overbearing leaving plenty of room for fresh lemon in my recipe below.

This was a 10 out of 10! Bonus points for the pasta being organic and containing zero seed oils.

Healthy, flavorful and easy to prepare.

I prepared it all in my stainless steel pan.

Visiting Las Vegas for the in Las Vegas show you’re always guaranteed two things.

1. Great relationships, conversations and memories.

2. Amazing food prepared with attention to detail.

On our first night here we visited KYU at the Fountainbleau featuring Asian woodfired small plates, including tuna over crispy rice, hamachi crudo , the duck breast , chilean Seabass, and spareribs.

The feature photo is a Japanese whiskey old-fashioned that was well balanced, and went down smooth.
