Post #200!

I felt the need to commemorate the milestone of my 200th post with a "best of" f is for foodie.

It goes without saying that my favorite posts were my daily recaps of trips to France (starting with this post), Spain and Portugal. There is nothing like exploring new places, trying new foods and wines, strolling through the local markets and soaking up the culture. Incredible experiences that have changed my palate forever!

When it comes to recipes, there are a few of my favorites that I've shared with you and I hope you have tried and enjoyed. In no particular order some of my stand outs are: white bean turkey chili, mustard-crusted pork with carrots and lentils, pork chops with zucchini and tomatoes, lentils and escarole, and my posts on meatballs - only to be culminated with one of my two tasting panels; meatball madness and the great cupcake debate.

Although most of my restaurant reviews are for New York restaurants, I've also reviewed establishments on the Jersey Shore, in Boston and suburban Massachusetts, Washington D.C., Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Wherever my travels will take me, I will be there camera in hand to give you my take on the local cuisine!

I hope you continue to enjoy this blog as much as I do and bon appetit!
