Taos, New Mexico, has some amaaaazing restaurants. We had the privilege to have lunch at one of these (Doc Martin’s) on a recent trip. Doc Martin’s restaurant is located in the historic Taos Inn, and is an acclaimed restaurant located in the Taos center. Here we had an incredible Portobello Mushroom Sandwich!

Doc Martin’s Restaurant

The restaurant was named after the first doctor in Taos County, Doc Martin. Legend has it that the doctor never worried whether people could pay. He would accept chickens or potatoes in exchange for his services. The restaurant used to be his home, and the alcove in the restaurant was originally his office and delivery room.

Last October it was privilege a to visit New England for the first time.  Unfortunately we didn’t make it to Connecticut (officially the Constitution State), so missed out on exploring New Haven (home to Yale University), world class museums, and some great culinary adventures. 

One iconic food that Connecticut is known for is the Steamed Cheeseburger.  Yes, you read that right!  I never in my life even considered cooking a cheeseburger in this way, however after having done so I am a steamed cheeseburger convert.  Try this recipe and you will be too!

Can you imagine at the age of 19 being mistaken for someone else? Then can you imagine finding out that that person is your twin? How about if a third individual came to light? And then amazingly you found out that you were a triplet, and not a twin? It sounds incredible, but this story is true!

This story is told in an amazing documentary called “Three Identical Strangers.” I won’t go into details because I don’t want to spoil the film for those who haven’t seen it. We watched this film on our recent Sunday movie night, and the setting of the film is New York.

It’s a dream of mine to visit all of the National Parks in the US…did you know that Alaska is home to 8 National Parks?  I’ll be thrilled if I can just get to one of them!

Alaska is home to unparalleled beauty and I hope everyone can visit someday.  And the food?  It’s my understanding that Alaska has some of the most delicious food out there!

I am choosing a recipe to honor Alaska that is not quite a dish Alaska is known for. This recipe includes wild Alaskan salmon, which is very well known for its amazing taste and health benefits.

The delicate flavor of Alaskan salmon is wonderful, smoked or not. It is considered a Superfood, and it contains omega 3 fatty acids.  I definitely think it’s a great idea to eat more salmon! Check out this article, “What is Wild Alaskan Salmon Good For?” to find out more about how nutritious and healthy wild salmon is for you.

Please use wild Alaskan salmon in this sandwich, which tastes better and is also better for you. Enjoy the amazing flavors in this sandwich and enjoy a taste of Alaska!

I visited Miami over 20 years ago and can’t believe it has been that long! The need to go back is starting to get stronger. 🙂 I remember being thrilled at the Cuban accents I heard for the first time. Additionally the unmistakable Cuban influence on the food was everywhere and was an exciting new foodie experience for me.

Unfortunately I did not try the Cuban Sandwich (also called the Cubano) while I was there. The Cubano is a must when visiting Florida so I truly missed out! Therefore I wanted to try my hand at making one of these delicious sandwiches and bring a taste of Miami to my Texas kitchen.
