One More Dawn, One More Day, One Day More

In less than 24 hours we’ll be rid of Trump.  I don’t want to hear his name again unless it’s coverage of his trial. American voters toppled a wannabe dictator and already things are looking up.  Have you seen photos of the National Mall?  It’s beautiful.  The Biden inaugural committee has planted more than 200,000 flags representing states and territories, and at night there are 56 pillars of light as a nod to the50 states and six territories.  The installation represents us, the wonderful mishmash that makes up our nation, from sea to shining sea. Not just red or blue states, not just one gender or ethnicity, all of us.

It’s supposed to represent unity, but also the hundreds of thousands who can not attend the inauguration because of the pandemic.   No one has mentioned the curtailed inaugural activities due to the sinister and seditious events at the Capitol, but you know that safety is a concern as well.  The Biden team said that they have "commitment to an inclusive and safe event that everyone can enjoy from their home.”  Wow, an administration that actually cares about citizen safety and well-being. How refreshing! BUT... enough about politics.  My last post about ball gowns received such a positive response that I am determined to make this corner of the internet a HAPPY place again.  I started this blog in July of 2007 (yeahhh, it used to be more entertaining)  with the intent of putting positivity and whimsy into the world.   After four years of feeling angry every day, I’m going to get back to my roots. I’m going to remember how I found joy in little things, laughter in awkward moments, and beauty in the mundane.  Prepare yourselves for some happiness, folks.   Let’s start with a little bit of joy for your taste buds.  Good food is probably on my top ten list for things that make life enjoyable.  I do not understand people who forget to eat, or even worse, who don’t care what’s on their plate.  I worked with a woman once, an absolutely lovely woman I should add, who used to eat whatever was handy. We worked for the same airline and usually by the time we could grab a bit we were starving.  We worked crazy hours and my lunch(or dinner) was a reward for getting through the craziness. I’d bring a Lean Cuisine and dress it up.  If I packed a sandwich, it had to be pretty. Her lunch would consist of a plain piece of bread and a half cup of coleslaw - “I had to get it out of the frig.”  Once she had a bowl of baked beans and an orange. I used to offer her parts of my lunch but she’d wave me off. She was not strapped for cash, she was not lazy, and she said to me “It doesn’t matter what you eat, you just need a little weight in your stomach.”  Technically, I guess she was right - but where’s the joy in that?  I should probably add that she never had to go up a skirt size in her entire career with the airline, and I could probably use my old skirts for hot pads now, so joy could be fattening. Anywho...last week I checked out a few library books online and then zoomed over to pick them up.  One of the books I checked out was Joanna Gaines’ latest cookbook, volume two of Magnolia Table.

I flipped through, putting bookmarks in recipes that sounded interesting and decided that the first one I’d try was this -

Mmmm, what’s not to love about spicy shredded chicken, corn, cojito cheese, pickled onions, cilantro, lime....hungry yet?  It was such a simple, easy recipe and had a big flavor payoff (joy!).  I’ll definitely be making these again. The only extra step in the recipe was making pickled onions.  But that takes about two minutes.  I did it while I was in the kitchen making lunch.

The cookbook provided a recipe that required red wine vinegar, which I was out of - so I used my own tried and true method of about a half cup of apple cider vinegar, a tablespoon of sugar, a teaspoon and a half of salt, and a thinly sliced red onion.  It worked just fine. This soaked from noon til around six.  It doesn’t have to be that long.

To make the taco meat just put chicken breasts in a baking dish, cover them with the spice mixture, pour a half cup of chicken broth into the bottom of the pan, cover and bake.  She provides her recipe for the spices, honestly you could easily use a packet of taco seasoning - your choice.

Why yes, my tin foil does have creases in it.  I am Ethel’s granddaughter and con not toss out a perfectly good piece of foil if it can be reused. This was the last use for this piece, but she had a good run.

While your chicken is baking you’ll mix up the yummy topping.  Couldn’t be easier. Drain a can of corn, chop some cilantro, crumble some Cotija cheese, and you’re nearly done.

Cotija cheese can be found in any supermarket.  It’s often in a cooler near the taco shells and refried beans, stacked with various salsas.  I always see it in a large round, but I think you can also buy it already crumbled in a tub.

I think it tastes and feels like Feta, I’ll bet in a pinch you could swap it out.  

The recipe calls for a half cup of cheese...

my cup runneth over because I am a joy seeker.

The corn, the cheese, the onions, and the cilantro get tossed into a bowl with a couple squeezes of lime juice and some chili powder and salt.  Mixed together, that’s the topping for the tacos.

Once the chicken is out of the oven, let it cool a few minutes and then shred it with forks, mixing it into the juices in the pan.

The last step is to get your tortillas ready.  Sadly, I didn’t have yellow corn tortillas, only white corn.  Yellow would have been prettier.

You’ll toss them into a hot skillet or on a griddle for about a minute on each side, just to get a little color, you still need them to be bendy.  I guess pliable would have been a better word, but bendy works.

Then you load ‘em up!  

This was Mickey’s plate and he went back for seconds.

Because it’s just the two of us here there was enough left for lunch today. Yum! Here’s a link to the recipe: https://magnolia.com/street-taco-recipes/ This recipe looks involved, but it is NOT.  There are a couple of steps but it’s all so easy.  It comes together quickly for a pretty meal. I’m trying another recipe from the book tomorrow, if it’s as good as this one, I’ll share it here. That’s what’s happening at the Pullen spread.  We’re counting the hours until Joe and Kamala take their oaths and we can be assured that adults are in charge again.  I admit, I’ve been playing One Day More from Les Miserables this afternoon.  I may have been shouting the “One day to a new beginning, raise the flag of freedom high!”  part.   Vive la résistance!  Okay, different war, but I’m a little giddy today.  Maybe I should just close with this...

   As the song says, hold on for one more day, just hold on. Sending out SO MUCH LOVE. Stay safe, stay well. XOXO - Nancy

Vegetarian Nachos With Homemade Chips

I really can’t do those bagged tortilla chip things anymore. They honestly pale in comparison to the tortilla chips you can make at home. After having these homemade ones, you’ll never look back and you’ll be happy you don’t have to. Now I’m not talking about starting from corn flour to make your own bread, although that’s awesome if you’re up for it. These chips were actually just made from ready tortilla bread I bought from the store. These are a cinch to prepare and cook up in no time at all, and that’s awesome when you don’t have much of that concept called “time.” Plus, they’re baked and they’re to die for!

These homemade tortilla chips are made with corn tortillas, they’re fresh, the texture is crispy, but not crazy crunchy—because it sucks when you put a chip in your mouth, start to close your mouth, and you’re immediately stabbed by it and have a silent freakout moment inside, desperately trying to rearrange the chip in your mouth. And if you’re really, really lucky and you can’t rearrange the tree bark chip in time, the inside of your mouth is essentially a wound for a whole week! OH that makes me so mad! Stupid chip.

OK, I can’t believe this but simply writing that has actually raised my blood pressure and riled me up so much right now. Breathe, Bita. It’s just that I 100%, completely and truly, really can’t stand when that happens. Tree bark tortilla chips, you can go ahead and walk on out. These homemade ones also simply taste a billion times better. So walk. on. out. bark chips.

Anyway, like I was saying before I thoroughly (albeit willingly, take note) embarrassed myself, these chips are spectacular and they give these easy and quick nachos that extra bit of special flavor that tastes like what a tortilla chip really needs to be.

We make these nachos probably at least once or twice a week when we are burnt out, exhausted, or just really craving quick and fresh, awesomely delicious Mexican food at home.

These are Vegetarian Nachos with protein-rich black beans, fresh produce, spicy and zesty pickled jalapeños, and all the bells and whistles of your favorite Mexican chip dish. There’s actually no real recipe to follow, just simple and easy to find ingredients that you should feel comfortable to switch up depending on what you crave. That’s what’s so easy about this dish (in addition to it being an incredibly fast meal to make)! Add what you want, and how much you want. I went ahead and listed what we add and approximately how much, but to be completely honest, we just eyeball it when we make them because, well …it’s nachos for heaven’s sake! You can’t really go wrong with what your body tells you it feels like. I definitely crave that perfect crunch and heat from the onions and jalapeños, so I always opt for more of those on my nachos.

And typically, Barry and I will make a whole tray of these nachos, take them out of the oven, and eat them right off the baking tray, family style! Fun and yum! And the great thing about it is that if the people in your family like different things on their nachos you can make the whole tray of chips and then add certain toppings to one half and certain toppings to the other half. Once in a while we like to add cooked ground beef to one side of the nachos because Barry likes it but I prefer my nachos vegetarian. Honestly, so easy peasy, this dish.

14 ON THE GO KETO SNACKS TO KEEP YOUR DIET ON TRACK

The best way to stick to a health plan is to set yourself up for success by making simple and ready to go food to help keep you on track with your nutrition plan.

Although it's simpler to maintain a Keto diet at home, what about when you're out and about and unsure of what's REALLY in the food dishes at the restaurants you're visiting?

My devoted and kind husband has been successfully consuming ketogenic food for three months, and he has lost 30 pounds. As a result of his job's frequent travel requirements, preparing low-carb meals at home and bringing them along with him is one of the greatest methods for him to stick to his keto program.

I find that sticking to a whole foods diet is what works best for me, but I must admit that a lot of the keto dishes he makes or finds online are amazing!

Whether you’re on the go for work, just need a simple keto snack to tide you over in between meals or need to pack easy to go ketogenic meals you can take with you, we’ve got you covered!

BUFFALO CHICKEN CELERY STICKS

It's meals like these mouthwatering buffalo chicken celery sticks that make following a ketogenic diet so much simpler. I consider any buffalo chicken finger meal that can be consumed for lunch at work or taken with you on the fly to be a success. Yum!

LOW CARB BACON & CREAM CHEESE PIN WHEELS

I firmly believe that bacon makes everything better. I mean, really! The great thing about pinwheels is that you can easily swap out the meat or other ingredients, like the olives, for other things like peppers or pickles.

BACON CREAM CHEESE BOMBS

The combination of bacon and cream cheese is simply irresistible, so much so that I gave you to recipe ideas right in a row with bacon and cream cheese.

LOW CARB CHEESE TACO SHELLS

I genuinely believe that fried cheese plays a part in my husband's success with the Keto diet. You can pretty much transform a fried snack into something that works at every meal and satisfies the majority of cravings, whether he fries it up as a parmesan snack, as a taco shell, or as a bun for his morning breakfast sandwich.

PICKLE ROLL-UPS

When we were young, my grandmother used to bake these and serve them as appetizers. Who would have thought that this vintage snack would become a well-liked Keto appetizer a few decades later?

You can simply scoop out the center of your zucchini and top it with so many delicious low carb toppings! After yielding 120 zucchini’s from 4 tiny little plants in our garden last summer, this is a new recipe to add to our zucchini rotation! Yes, I really said 120 zucchini’s… 

PIZZA STUFFED MUSHROOMS

One of our all-time favorite go-to snacks and meals to make the keto diet effective is making mushroom pizzas. Like most of you, I'm sure, I find it awful to give up American diet mainstays like pizza. While baby bellas are the excellent snack for on-the-go eating, portabella mushrooms create the ideal keto pizza for supper.

KETO BACON DEVILED EGGS

Who would have thought the traditional party food of deviled eggs would grow in popularity as a means of adhering to the keto diet? Deviled eggs are so delicious that I could never get weary of them. Deviled eggs taste wonderful when you experiment with different herbs and seasonings, like curry or dill.

Green Mung Bean Pancake

Green Mung Pancake, is a part of the Indian cuisine and is mainly eaten for breakfast or as a evening Snack. It looks tiny however has huge health benefits as it's high in protein, diabetic friendly and contains fiber not only that it's even a good source of potassium, copper, manganese, zinc and vitamins.The recipe for this delicious snack is so simple and is easy to follow that even a beginner could easily prepare

Here's the recipe, Let's get started!

Ingredients

2 Cups of whole green mung beans

2 - 3 fresh green chillies

2 garlic cloves

Salt to taste

1/2 to 1 Tbsp olive oil or any refined oil

Note

There are two ways to prepare the green mung batter, the first one is, by using the mung flour and the second is by soaking the whole green mung overnight or for 4 - 5 hours minimum, until it looks double then its size.

If you choose to soak mung overnight, wash it, drain the water and soak in fresh water, however if you are preparing the green mung pancakes the next day and you forget to soak mung the night prior, you can soak mung in hot water for 4 - 5 hours  before preparing the pancakes.

If you like to make pancakes out of the mung flour, 2 cups of mung flour, mix it with ground chillies and garlic with salt (according to you), now add little water and stir well, to bring to the pouring  consistency. (add water until the batter is smooth and thick)

Once mung is soaked, wash it and drain the water and blend with 2 chillies, 2 garlic cloves and salt to taste. Add little water, as we require thick batter and blend until the the batter is smooth.

If the batter turns out to be as desired, then remove the it in the mixing bow

Taste the batter and add salt if required and if you are the one who likes to eat spicy, you can add chillies, if you like.

Now give a good stir to the mixture and place the pan on medium flame. Once the pan is hot, check the mixture, if it's of the pouring consistency, that is, if the batter is too thick you can add 1-2 tbsp of water. Then drizzle few drops of oil over the pan, take a ladle full of batter and pour in the center of the pan and spread batter outward in a circular motion, to form a round pancake. You can either use the back of the spoon or a spatula to gentle spread the batter.

Cook the pancake until golden brown, then flip it and drizzle few drops of oil and cook until even the other side turns golden brown. Once the pancake is ready, remove it on a absorbent sheet , to get rid of excess oil.

Follow the same procedure to prepare the pancakes out of the remaining batter

This soft and yum snack is ready to serve! The condiment like Garlic Pepper yogurt dip, Tomato Sauce, Mango pickle etc, goes pretty well with this snack.

Tips

I use whole mung for this recipe, however if you are looking out for an substitute for whole green mung, you can also use green mung dal (split skinless mung dal)

Little water would be just enough to make the desired batter

You can also use sprouted mung as an alternative to soaked mung.

Methods

Prep  - 10 Mins

Cooking Time - 15 Mins

Total Time - 25 Mins

Find A Quick Way To CAMPING COOKING EQUIPMENT

"When you think about family outdoor camping journeys, the enjoyable of spending time together with your family as well as nature can sometimes be dampened by the ordinary ideas of ""exactly how and what am I mosting likely to feed them?"". You don't intend to bring a lots of food and spend the whole weekend food preparation however yet meals over the campfire are a huge part of the outdoor camping experience. To balance these demands of simpleness, room, as well as fun, our family has a fundamental list of essential household outdoor camping foods.

Our essential family members outdoor camping foods list contains:

Bisquick

Milk in 1/2 gallon containers

Eggs

Cheese

Orange juice in plastic jug

Bacon - thick cut

Syrup

Butter in plastic bathtubs

Cereal

Bread

Lunchmeat in resealable plans

Fruit - canned as well as sturdy fresh

Chips in tubes

Bags of mini carrots

Peanut butter

Jelly or jam

Containers of water

Sandwich shop (granola, route mix, etc).

Potatoes.

Steak.

Onions.

Green beans - tinned.

Hotdogs.

Hot dog buns.

Baked beans.

Marshmallows.

Graham biscuits.

Hershey bars.

Pie filling up.

Diced pickles.

Catsup.

Mustard.

Mayo.

Sugar.

Cinnamon.

From this listing of foods, we can create a weekend filled with dishes. Much of the things on the listing can be utilized in making greater than one meal. And otherwise, the thing is still necessary for the total outdoor camping experience!

The opening night is always hotdogs, baked beans, chips, as well as s' mores. This is the first dish my youngsters want. It's quick, simple as well as has the enjoyable variable of them being able to cook most of it themselves. Great for when you are attempting to obtain camp established and settled but yet they are shouting to eat.

The initial breakfast is typically pancakes and thick-cut bacon. We take thick-cut bacon considering that it tends to not burn as quickly. You can have some eggs with it if you like however eggs are typically the celebrity of one more breakfast. Cook some additional bacon for use for supper tonight. If you remain in a rush have cereal as well as milk rather.

Lunch has a tendency to be a quicker, easier, no-cook meal for us. We are usually in a hurry to get back to what we were doing or on to the next enjoyable point. Cold meat sandwiches or peanut butter as well as jelly with fruit as well as mini-carrots fit the healthy and balanced yet quick requirements that we desire for this camp dish.

Dinner the second evening is typically a bigger offer. After a day of enjoyable in the outdoors, we are generally starving and ready survival cookware to take a seat and kick back with a good dish. Our family outdoor camping dish of selection for this evening is steaks cooked right on the grate over the campfire; potatoes double wrapped in sturdy aluminum foil with butter and pieces of onion stuck in slits in the potatoes as well as prepared in the coals; and green beans with left-over bacon from morning meal cooking in a pot on the campfire grate. Yum! For treat this night (if we have room and also the children always do) we make hobo fruit pies. We conserve these for the 2nd night since, in order to not shed them, they call for a slower, more patient food preparation. On the opening night of camping, the kids are as well excited concerning existing as well as they do not have the patience to prepare slowly.

Ensure you save any of the remaining steak, potatoes, as well as onions from this meal.

If it is just a weekend outdoor camping trip, the following early morning is usually our grand ending morning meal. It is normally a little later in the morning than the first day. We are all tired from the fun prior day, slept well and are not distressed to begin packing up to head house.

In this dish, we attempt to consume what we can. Less to re-pack! We usually have eggs clambered with the leftover steak, potatoes, and also onions from the night prior to. If there isn't any type of leftover steak, clamber the eggs with some leftover bacon. Formulate a couple of more potatoes and also onions to include in your egg blend for an outstanding frying pan morning meal. Use any type of leftover bread from sandwiches as well as hobo pies for salute. Leading your toast with butter, jelly, cinnamon or sugar that were utilized in previous meals and drain partial containers of milk and orange juice.

The charm of this fundamental checklist of must-have household camping foods is that it is simple to expand if you will be on a longer journey. We have actually discovered that simply by including some extra canned veggies and also fruits, canister tuna and poultry, burgers, burger buns, BARBEQUE sauce, skinless poultry, oatmeal and perhaps pasta and also sauce, we can obtain a wide array of meals that will keep us pleased for at the very least a week or even more.

Depending on the length of time you plan to be gone you might need to take a larger amount of these things or you may intend to plan a fast grocery run during your trip. Keep in mind nonetheless that if you are camping near a visitor location or far away from a store that a mid-trip grocery run might not be economical or extremely easy."

balsamic kale with cranberries

I’ll admit that simple sauteed kale with balsamic vinegar and dried cranberries is not the sexiest recipe to highlight in the first few days of the the new year, but with so many of us (myself included) cutting back on refined sugars, grains and dairy, I think it is appropriately useful to share it with you today. It’s a recipe I have been making for the better part of a decade, and it is always a great addition to our healthy plate. It happens to be vegan, paleo and gluten-free, but that’s not all it has going for it. It also happens to be sweet and tart and a delicious way to enjoy fresh kale! 

I originally shared this recipe on October 29th, 2013. I have updated the text, images, added a video (see below) today.  

Are you craving fresh food right now? I am pretty certain you’re going to say yes, and friend, me too! Like times 1,000,000! I’ve been digging into the veggies like there is no tomorrow. Don’t get me wrong, I had a great December and holiday season. But after a lot of Eggnog White Russians (OMG yum!) and Pecan Snowball Cookies (who can say no to a snowball) I don’t feel that great. In other words, I am ready to get a little bit of green on my plate right now. I have more news to share on all that and what I am doing about it, so if you follow me on instagram or you’re on my email list I’ll be sharing more about it over there. 

a Super Easy Vegan Side-dish

The first time I made this recipe seven years ago, I’d been in a similar boat. I’d been traveling with my family and after too much processed foods, I craved something whole and fresh. So I went out to our row of kale in the garden and took no mercy. After I removed the ribs from the kale, I chopped it up. Then I sauteed it with some onions from the CSA, some apple juice-sweetened organic dried cranberries from the cabinet and a drizzle of really good balsamic.

I have been making it ever since. I almost always have the ingredients on hand and it provides a nutritious and delicious counterpart to so many dinner combinations. I love the way the sweet and sour flavors work with the slightly bitter kale. It is such a simple recipe, after trying it once, you’ll be able to do it over and over again without even measuring!! I have noticed that sometimes it is the most simple recipes (like this green beans with walnuts and balsamic or this lemon garlic broccoli) that resonate the most with busy families. So I really hope you enjoy it too. 

How to Make Vegan Balsamic Kale with Cranberries

Shopping Notes: You can use green, purple or lacinato (dinosaur) kale to make this recipe. Also, dried cranberries are most commonly sweetened with sugar. If you are following a paleo diet, look for cranberries sweetened with fruit juice. I find them near the bulk department at our local health food store. 

Kale cooks down a lot when you cook it, so you’ll need to start with a full head of kale. Since the size of bunches of kale varies, if your market or CSA has smaller bunches, grab two. Remove the ribs, chop the kale and wash it. You’ll want 8 cups of chopped raw kale to make this recipe. If you use lacinato, you’ll want to cut the leaves more finely. 

Next you’ll need a diced onion. If you missed my post earlier this week, please check out the proper way to dice an onion. It is part of my new series of cooking basics called “In The Kitchen.” I use whatever kind of onion I have on hand, but I think sweet onion is really nice to naturally boost the sweet flavor of this kale recipe.

Sauté the onion in olive oil until it is brown. (See the video for a visual of that.)

After that add on the kale, salt, cranberries and water. Quickly cover the skillet to capture the steam from the evaporating water, and let the kale wilt. I usually stir it once or twice, to help it wilt down evenly. 

To keep an ever so slightly crunchy texture and brighter color, err on the side of not over-cooking the kale. But if you prefer soft and tender greens, feel free to continue cooking it to your preference. If you do so, you’ll likely need a splash or two of water as the skillet goes dry. 

Finish the dish off with some really good quality balsamic vinegar. It will really brighten up the flavors. It balances the bitter of the kale and the sourness balances the salt.

QUESTIONS

Do you feel the need to eat cleaner now that the holidays are over?

Do you crave fresh food after a lot of celebrations and big meals?

16 Of The Best Tacos To Make For Every Meal Of The Day

When you’re the one who has to decide what to make for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it’s easy to get stuck in a food rut. But there’s an easier way to get out of a food rut than by trying out a bunch of new, unfamiliar recipes. Instead, choose one very versatile food, and start exploring the different forms and varieties of that one food.

For instance, one of my very favorite versatile foods to experiment with is tacos! There are thousands of taco recipes out there just waiting to be discovered, including ones for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! I make tacos frequently at home for that very reason, so I thought that for today’s blog post, I’d offer up an ode to the versatility of tacos!

 <![CDATA[.player-position padding-left:0px !important; padding-right:0px !important; padding-bottom:0px !important; .copy padding: 12px !important; font-weight: 700; font-size: 15px !important; ]]>

I’ve gathered together a list of 16 delicious taco recipes for every meal of the day and included it below. The list begins with a few breakfast options, then transitions to lunch and dinner varieties. And that’s one of the beautiful things about tacos—you can fill them with what you want, and eat them whenever you want too. By the end of this post, you’ll not only have plenty of tacos to try, but might also be inspired to start exploring your own unique taco creations! :-)

16 Delicious Taco Recipes For Every Meal Of The Day

1. Potato, Bacon, and Cheese Breakfast Tacos

See the recipe card at the bottom of this post for the full recipe and instructions. It also has an easy print option!

Cook chopped bacon in a skillet on your stovetop over medium-high heat until it’s crisp and browned, about 4 minutes. Then remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and add cubed russet potatoes to the skillet and the hot bacon fat.

Add salt and pepper to the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. (Or you can spreed up the process by using refrigerated hash browns instead!)

Once the potatoes are cooked, add a couple of whisked eggs to the skillet, and stir them constantly until the eggs are set, but still soft.

2. Farmer’s Market Breakfast Tacos

from Layers of Happiness

These cheesy breakfast tacos are loaded with scrambled eggs, maple-glazed bacon, and fresh micro greens. What more could you ask for?

3. Vegan Crepe Breakfast Tacos

from Blissful Basil

For vegans, those with Celiac, or anyone who’s avoiding dairy or gluten, give these breakfast tacos a try! They’re filled with a warm spinach and mushroom filling that is sure to satisfy.

4. Peaches & Cream Tacos

from Mountain Mama Cooks

Care for a sweeter start to your day? These peaches and creme tacos are built on a cinnamon-sugar tortilla base, then topped with Greek yogurt and slices of fresh, juicy peach. Yum!

Everything That’s Worth Drinking in Miami, According to Sweet Liberty’s Tatiana Moreno

“My love for Miami is endless,” Tatiana Moreno, a Miami native and bartender at cocktail hotspot Sweet Liberty, says.

Located in Miami Beach, Sweet Liberty is relaxed and welcoming, despite the countless awards and accolades that have poured in since it opened in 2015. It’s a testament to its dynamic team, undoubtedly one of the best in the country.

Moreno is proud to be from Miami and represent her city. “Being born and raised here might make me a little biased,” Moreno says. “However, I truly believe my city is full of some of the most cultural and diverse communities. We have something for everyone, every mood, every day.”

In our Miami Bartography, we set out to explore the city with Moreno’s personal itinerary.

DRINKING

The Corner

“While popular for being open insanely late and being littered with bartenders and weirdos alike in the early hours of the morning, I love this bar for a different reason: their smoked weenies. Tiny little cocktail weenies surrounded by cornichon pickles. Simple but delicious. Once for my birthday they brought an order of these with a candle in it. Tuesdays there are my favorite because it’s jazz night and being that The Corner is a small place, you get a pretty intimate, free show. They also carry over 100 craft beers and make a mean cocktail.” Location.

Mac’s Club Deuce

“The Deuce is the ultimate dive of all dives. It’s an important stop if you’re interested in being a part of real Miami Beach culture. “Miami Vice” even had their cast party here in the ‘80s. It’s been open since ’64, and it’s closed for just three hours a day and with possibly the best happy hour on the beach going from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. This is my favorite place to have a High Life and shot of tequila. Don’t forget your cash, though. They don’t take plastic.” Location.

Mama Tried

“I tend to overindulge here — but this is one of my favorite places to bring people when they’re visiting. Mama is home away from home! They have shaggy red carpet, sick tunes, and a ceiling with actual shooting stars, plus some of the most fun bartenders to take shots with — and you can get a bag of chips for 50 cents. Walking in and having Tyler Kitzman or Domingo Murillo yell across the bar at me with the biggest smile already pouring my Guinness is something I treasure, and so will you.” Location.

Sweet Liberty

“O.K., so yes, this is where I work, but I mean Sweet Liberty is amazing and I often catch myself spending time there after my shifts and on my days off. The Piña Colada is a MUST. It’s the perfect combination of our rum blend, house-made coco mix, pineapple, Jamaican coffee beans, and PX sherry. It’s a Piña anyone can get behind. There are also 800-plus spirits and a badass cocktail menu to explore, and I like to think we’re a pretty rad crew to hang with.” Location.

EATING

Macchialina

“You’d better wear something stretchy to come here. When I tell you that this is the best Italian food in all of south Florida, you better believe it … with an array of pasta, cheeses, and killer wines curated by Jacqueline Pirolo, this has become one of my preferred places to eat in Miami. The pork sausage polenta is my go-to starter and the reason I come, but I stay for the cacio e pepe. If you’re in town (especially if you’re here on a Thursday) you don’t want to skip out on $10 pasta night.” Location.

Ricky Thai Bistro

“A little off the beaten path up in north Miami is where you’ll find the best Thai food in the city. Ricky Thai is a small mom-and-pop restaurant maybe seating 25 people max with some seriously authentically delicious and spicy food. The red curry and tom kha gai are my go-tos, but if you’re into pad Thai, theirs is phenomenal. There’s something so homey and warm about eating here… It’s only open for seven hours a day, but this place is a must.” Location.

27 Restaurant & Bar

“Want to feel like you’re at a dope house party with some fire food and drinks? Then you need to come here. The service at 27 (located right next to Broken Shaker) is always something to be talked about and elevates the experience to the next level. My favorites include: the whole catch of the day paired with taco fixings along with Chef Jimmy Lebron’s seasonal chicken dishes, which in the past have come in the form of chicken pot pies; jerk chicken; and, currently, a chicken tagine made with 27 spices and paired with a bulgur couscous. YUM.” Location.

SLEEPING

The Miami Beach EDITION

“Right around some of the biggest hotels in Miami Beach lives the EDITION. It’s one of the most gorgeous and aesthetically beautiful hotels around, but let’s talk partying. They’ve got an underground late-night bowling alley and ice skating rink, and, when you’re ready to dance, Basement, their nightclub, is waiting for you.” Location.

The Standard, Miami Beach

“The not-so-standard Standard is one of the most beautiful and relaxing places to hang in. Don’t worry, if you don’t want to dish out and splurge to spend some nights here, you can grab a day pass and use all of the amenities that include their luxurious pool, steam room, sauna, and mud baths. There’s also a darling view from the pool to the bay and even a jammin’ playlist underwater!” Location.

EXTRACURRICULARS

Wynwood

“This is the art district of Miami and one of our newest neighborhoods; it’s home to locals and tourists alike. Breweries, restaurants, and bars galore … this area is always poppin’. It’s a little more relaxed and casual then the Beach, so it’s easy to bar hop and serves as the perfect place to spend a couple hours just walking around. And while there are tons of galleries, you can also get your art fix by simply just walking around — there isn’t a single blank wall in the neighborhood that’s gone without a street artist leaving their mark. Wynwood is truly something beautiful to see.” Location.

Little Havana

“This is where true Cuban culture lives. Calle Ocho, a place where you’ll find Máximo Gómez Park — we refer to it as domino park because it’s filled with people chatting about life and playing dominos. It also has the yummiest bakeries and Cuban food in the city. For a true cantinero Cuban bar experience, visit La Trova for some classic Daiquiris, Ball and Chain for salsa night, and the historic Tower Theater for some film.” Location.
