Dining at Honey in Northside

 

Mary Ann & Pama, along with their husbands, had dinner on Friday 9/25 at Honey--one of several good Northside restaurants. (It's Pama's favorite among Northside choices and in my top 5 Cincinnati restaurants overall). Chef Shoshannah Hafner uses local ingredients whenever possible and outdoes herself with every marvelous course--with the best of all possibly being dessert. Healthy foodies don't always, or even usually, indulge in desserts, though. Mary Ann passed on a post-dinner sweet treat altogether, while Pama finished up with a cup of satisfying Mexican Hot Chocolate--not rich with cream, but deep in flavor thanks to spices.

In Search of the Ultimate Vege Burger

As a reluctant vegetarian, I've been looking and looking for the best vege burger.  So far, none has surpassed the vege burger I remember from a seaside cafe in LA.  But my black bean burger has come close.  Check out the recipe. 

The burger at Virgil's Cafe in Bellevue was good.  York Street Cafe has a homemade vege burger that was good.  The one at Ruby Tuesday's is good but not homemade.  However, none of them is as tasty as my black bean recipe. 

I recently went to College Hill Coffee Company, and they admitted their burger was not 'homemade'.  The vege burger at the Green Dog Cafe was not quite as good as mine.  J. Alexander's has the best I've tried in the greater Cincinnati area, but I still prefer mine.  My dear sister-in-law, DeDe Dennig reportedly has a delicious bulgar burger.  Can't wait to try it!  Let us know where your favorite vege burger is!

 

Weight loss / maintenance is difficult.  Watch those small weight gains, as obesity happens 1 pound at a time.  My book, Fat Cells, Beauty and You!, brings together how your body stores calories, why exercise is important, and how to determine how much of which foods is best for you.  Psychological and spiritual factors of why we eat are also reviewed.  And it's a bargain! --- short, easy to read and inexpensive on Amazon.
