a food lover’s view: making the most of social distancing

April 4, 2020 foodwithaview 2 Comments

We live in unusual times. “The new normal.” “A virtual reality.” “Social distancing.” I would love to limit my use of these clever phrases to a good game of consultant-lingo bingo, but thanks to COVID-19, everyone is all too familiar with these terms and their far-reaching implications. How we eat is no exception. Restaurants and bars are shut down in most major cities. The grocery store supply chain is severely disrupted causing inventory challenges and shopper anxiety. Even avid home cooks are faced with the new reality of planning and executing three meals a day, every day, at home. … [Read more...]

Welcome back!  I hope you enjoyed part one of our culinary adventure through the city (and food!) of Paris. In part two, we will get to the good stuff -- the restaurants. My full list of favorite places I have visited, from delicious croissants to start the day to that last glass of wine to end the evening. From cheap and cheerful to wallet-busting Michelin stars. And everything in between.  … [Read more...]

a culinary adventure in Paris, part one

Paris may not be the first place that springs to mind for most of you when the topic of where to go for spring break comes up over dinner. But for Gary and I, springtime in Paris isn’t all that strange. Where else would two food lovers go on vacation? We have visited Paris multiple times, with a range of budgets and culinary sophistication -- from newbies with no money to food writers with far more discretionary income. And of course, I took notes on every step of the journey. Well, at least on the food. … [Read more...]

meal planning 101

Meal planning 101 | A beginners guide to meal planning | Free printable simple meal planning template | photo by brooke lark | foodwithaview.com

January. For many of us, it is the season of renewal. A time to start fresh on something that did not go as well as we wanted it to last year. I am right there with you. I wrote earlier this month on my food goals for 2018, and one of them included sticking with a change in eating habits I started last year. I am personally choosing to follow a ketogenic diet (more on that here), but it doesn’t matter what you want to change. No matter the flavor, changing how you eat is hard. … [Read more...]

goal time: food goals for the new year

Coffee and quiche to relax and enjoy today in the new year | food goals for 2018 | photo by tanya patrikeyeva | foodwithaview.com

’Tis the season for resolutions, but science tells us resolutions are a bad idea.  Apparently, less than 10% of us are successful at keeping them. The inevitable failure, coupled with the January time-bind, can be pretty damaging to one’s psyche and long-term ability to change behavior or achieve big things.  What is established among high achievers and general go-getters is the value of telling someone else your goals.  So here I am, telling you my big food goals for 2018. … [Read more...]

Shooting photos in a restaurant | happy anniversary foodwithaview.com

It is hard to believe, but foodwithaview.com is officially one year old this week. No one is more surprised than me to be writing this today. As anyone who has ever taken on a passion project knows, the urge to quit can be strong, downright irresistible at times. When you often feel like you are working really hard for nothing; that no one is listening, that you will never figure out this web design, photography, or social medial thing, it can be challenging to press on. … [Read more...]
