About Me

 Grubarazzi with her adorable and supportive husband 
(a.k.a taste tester extraordinaire)

I am a classically trained eater with a passion for cooking, photography, writing, and travel. I write about what makes me tick, mainly grub.


After a decade of climbing the corporate ladder I craved an outlet for my insane love of food, photography, writing and family. Since I was a babe my foodie parents saw the passion in my eyes when they would bring their homemade concoctions to the table.  This blog combines everything I adore in life. 

The recipes, photos and scribbles on the pages of Grubarazzi are yours truly, although I am constantly inspired by chefs, friends and fellow food bloggers. Twisting classics while respecting tradition is what Grubarazzi is all about. I only hope my passion is duly expressed and motivates readers to try anything. 

Enjoy the recipes, dance, laugh and eat with me. And for goodness sakes, get your grub on!

    What a nice photo--I think we're blogging for similar reasons. I love to cook, and other than writing for work (which doesn't count), I needed a place to write about things I find interesting.

    Awww!! What a great picture of you and your food taster hubby!! I love how food brings people together. I've met so many wonderful people while blogging so it's reach is extraordinary. I actually started blogging because I loved looking at food in cookbooks and wanted to see if I could take some good food pictures. Then the obsession started and I haven't been able to stop. The great thing my family enjoys my hobby so I keep going. :)

    This is GREAT! I love the photo and thanks for a peek into your passion! It's funny - I refer to my husband as Honey Bunny on the blog, but his job is taste tester, too! ....and he takes his job VERY seriously! :o)

Bacon Guacamole

So, here's the thing. Bacon is so played out in the food world right now. We have bacon chocolate bars, bacon oil, bacon salt, bacon print band-aids, and bacon sundaes at Burger King. There is even a small restaurant in Austin, Texas called Bacon that serves, well, everything bacon (try the the bacon doughnut...just do it). Some truly sad souls people have a difficult time understanding why bacon should play such a leading role off the breakfast table. I say everything should taste like bacon. Bring it! Here is my small contribution to our over-saturated bacon kingdom, Bacon Guacamole .   I actually shed a tear when I tasted this. You can thank me later... Bacon Guacamole Time in kitchen: 10 minutes Servings: 8 (2 T serving) Nutrition information per serving:  100 calories, 9 grams fat, 3 grams fiber, 2 grams protein, 4 carbs Ingredients: 2 ripe avocados  the juice of 1/2 lime (or more to taste) 1 small garlic clove, grated 1...

Grilled Asparagus Salad with Fried Quail Eggs

The Baltimore Farmer’s Market was beaming with pride as the stalls opened for the season on Sunday morning, and it has good reason to be prideful. It was recently voted #1 Farmer’s Market in the nation by Country Living.   Since it was 7:00 am after a long night out I was appropriately armed with coffee, sun glasses, and hippy-ass reusable tote bags. Asparagus has been in the forefront of my thoughts since eating a memorably crisp asparagus salad at Woodberry Kitchen . When I saw a pile of garden-fresh spears I couldn’t resist getting a few bundles for the week as well as my fair share of blue kale, foraged mushrooms, spinach, organic quail eggs, ramps, and a multitude of other goodies.   It is going to be a wonderfully food-filled week. Grilled Asparagus Salad with Fried Quail Eggs utilizes many of the seasonal ingredients I scored at the market. It’s only lightly seasoned to give the ingredients the stage. Fresh tarragon is laced throughout and the yolk from the gent...

“My Sweet” Chorizo Con Papas Bake

  In the food world some things just belong together.  Peanut butter and jelly.  Macaroni and cheese.  Sweet potato and chorizo… rewind… sweet potato and chorizo? Yes, indeed. Sweet potato and chorizo is the ultimate pairing. One is sweet, unassuming and full of wholesome integrity. The other is spicy, daring and playful. When you put the two together it’s like Romeo and Juliet living happily ever after. It is the just ending to a rebellious love affair. This combination was originally conceived in Latin America with a humble dish called chorizo con papas traditionally served in a soft tortilla at breakfast time. I was like a conquistador conquering new land as I rummaged through the fridge craving breakfast for dinner. Laid out in front of me was Mexican chorizo, fresh cilantro, eggs and baby sweet potatoes. The perfect ingredients for what turned out to be the one of the best concoctions ever made in my kitchen.   My Sweet Chorizo Con ...
