About

NYC Nom Nom is a blog about food. Restaurants and recipes... from the good, to the bad, to the un-nommable. Recently, I joined Weight Watchers. But I refuse to give up my love for food. Join me on my journey of recipes and restaurants (whether you're dieting or not).

I am very fortunate in that I get to try many of the best restaurants in NYC. I also am realizing that I love to cook and have been expanding my culinary skills with my boyfriend, Mike. So what better way to chart my path through the world of food than with a blog?

I would not consider myself a foodie, as that moniker carries with it some level of expertise, of which I have none. I just really love food and am very lucky to have both access to good restaurants and a really great kitchen (by New York City standards anyway).

If you want to reach me, you can email me at sara@nycnomnom.com or if you have more questions, visit the NYCNomNom FAQs

So without further ado, enjoy nomming.

Tilapia with San Marzano Tomatoes

Usually I find tilapia quite… bland.  So to give it some pop, I decided to throw some San Marzano tomatoes on top with some basil.

Now if you haven’t heard of San Marzano tomatoes, let me open up your world for a moment… I was reading some blogs singing the praises of these special tomatoes for a while and my mom was a fan.  In my perpetual childhood need to deny that anything my mother likes could possibly be good… I was anti for a while.  But then I tried them.  WOW! They’re like the best, ripest, juiciest tomatoes you’ve ever had and they come out of a CAN! (A very expensive can… but worth it)

The parm on top was just perfect (we kept one off for a non-cheese eater).

And yes… again with the rice pilaf.  What can I say? I love them!  Too bad they aren’t too good for you… but they’re not THAT bad for you… right? :)

The simple dinner: LAMB!

I have blogged about this recipe before, however, every time I make lamb I am reminded about how incredibly easy and FAST it is.  I was always quite intimidated by lamb (especially a huge rack of it!) but it’s just so easy.  The only thing I forgot was to moisten the corn meal so it stayed a bit dry (and I added all the mustard this time rather than halfing it… which was upsetting to me as a mustard hater but Mikey liked it)

We paired it with a rice pilaf that is always delicious and easy.

And I had some leftover butternut squash soup. But I wanted a veggie…

So what is that? It’s canned peas with shredded cheese. DELISH! (and sooo easy)
