Lemon Rice Soup probably conjures a vision of the gloopy, thick and congealed version that you find as an afterthought in the Greek diner around the corner. This is NOT that soup. Brothy, rich and tangy with lots of fresh cracked pepper, this is my go-to, cure-all, it’s cold out…
Mango-Turmeric Tropical Smoothie
Smoothies are apparently the lifeblood of America in January. We all overindulged. We all went a little overboard and now our bodies are more than a little ticked at us. A good, balanced smoothie has its place in my shaker bottle many mornings. I like to add raw beets or…
The Suitcase Foodist Travels: Eating Our Way Through Istanbul
Greg and I flew into Istanbul from Rome. Late. We flew into the Asian side – so we had to take a bus for an hour to get to the modern European side. From there we had to take a taxi (a harrowing experience) to the Old City where we…
Turkish Lentil Soup
Every year my Mom’s family has their annual Christmas soup supper, and I of course have to bring something different every year. Partly because I like to try new things, and partly because dairy and I don’t get along, and generally all the soups provided are loaded with dairy of…
Sautéed Greens with Fresh Turmeric
I am all about the greens – any time of year. I love collards, bright rainbow chard and still believe that kale has a place in my kitchen. Greens are always a part of my weekly meal prep in some variation or another. They might show up as garlicky /…
Top 10 Posts of 2014
We’ve taken a little hiatus due to a bout with a Martian Death Flu and GHI (General Holiday Insanity). We are still taking baby steps in the blogging world and have learned so much in 2014 about ourselves and this new path we’ve joined. Thanks for taking the journey with…
Christmas Socks
It’s getting near to Christmas. And we all have our traditions that help us remember the holiday and what it stands for. Even if it isn’t a religious thing for you, if nothing else, it is a time for family and friends, and probably some fun traditions. So whether it’s…
5 Pepper Crusted Standing Ribeye Roast – The EASY Way!
I think is was Oscar Wilde that said a good roast is a joy forever. Or I *may* have just made that up… This is officially post #50 since we started Suitcase Foodist back in September. Yay! We are fast approaching the holiday season and it’s officially time to decide…
Pork Pibil – Mexican Pulled Pork
One of my go to dishes at our favorite local Mexican restaurant is their Cochinita Pibil. I enjoy it almost every time we go there. I only learned what it was from watching a Robert Rodriguez film where Johnny Depp’s character orders the dish everywhere he goes. In the DVD extras,…

This post was published earlier this week on the Clark’s Condensed Blog. I had so much fun taking the photos and writing the post, I wanted to share it here too…. This is after all the street where I hang my hat. Downtown Salt Lake City has its own Broadway…
