“On your left!” for Florida Bike Month

Posted on March 12, 2017February 13, 2020 by Mandy Mizell

March is Florida Bike Month and Palm Beach has organized great events to celebrate it. Nationally, Bike Month is typically in May, but the wise cyclists of Florida banded together to make it March since the weather is delightful compared to the swampy afternoons of late May. I’ve gotten in the saddle a lot recently (that is, […]

Spelunking the Shoreline

Posted on January 14, 2017February 13, 2020 by Mandy Mizell

It’s been a hot minute since my last post, and the hiatus was largely due to a new chapter in my career which requires a lot of effort, enthusiasm, and studying. As the dust is settling around my new position, I decided I need to dust off my little blog and get her going again. […]

Rio 2016 Acai Bowl

Posted on August 7, 2016February 13, 2020 by Mandy Mizell

The Rio 2016 Olympic Games have commenced! To get into the spirit of the Olympics, I am sharing this açaí bowl recipe this week that will fuel you like an Olympic athlete! I must warn you that once I had my first açaí bowl, I was immediately hooked. I found myself running to 3 Natives Juice Bar […]

Punjab Pizza and AM Curry

Posted on August 1, 2016February 13, 2020 by Mandy Mizell

Lake Worth has a strong Mexican influence. It’s evident with the taco trucks on every other corner, the gentlemen selling fresh sunflowers at major intersections, and the absence of Publix replaced by storefronts like “El Bodegon” and “El Presidente Supermercado.” Mexican food initially brought me to Lake Worth, what keeps me returning is new revelations […]

Australian Banana Bender Bread

Posted on July 24, 2016January 3, 2020 by Mandy Mizell

I spent a month flashpacking in Australia last summer to study the effects of global climate change. I miss Oz everyday, and find myself consistently reminiscing about my days along the East Coast. I decided this week I wanted to bring Australia to my kitchen. When I was in Straya (slang for Australia), the food […]

Mexican Street Fries Recipe

Posted on July 21, 2016January 3, 2020 by Mandy Mizell

My boyfriend, Jesse and I go to Lake Worth a couple times per month to nosh on the best authentic Mexican food at Tacos Al Carbon. We always start our “dinner in Mexico” with elotes, better known in America as Mexican Street Corn. The husked corn is roasted in a smoker– outside, under a tent, in the […]

The Magic of Mexican Ice Cream

Posted on July 17, 2016February 13, 2020 by Mandy Mizell

Happy National Ice Cream Day! As you prepare to celebrate, I encourage you to throw “Michoacana” into your Yelp App instead of Baskin Robbins. I have recently discovered the magic of Mexican Ice Cream. This is not Mexican fried ice cream you may know, that is covered in corn flakes and cinnamon sugar. The Mexican ice […]

Far East Tampa at Thai Temple

Posted on July 14, 2016January 3, 2020 by Mandy Mizell

Last weekend I went home to visit my family in Palm Harbor, so my global local adventures took me away from SoFlo to a hidden treasure in East Tampa that resembles the Far East. Wat Mongkolratanam, is its formal name, but its commonly referred to as the Thai Temple. It hosts a Sunday Market from 9:30AM-1PM to […]

Sabor do Brasil: Caldo Verde Recipe

Posted on July 10, 2016January 3, 2020 by Mandy Mizell

After visiting Fazendinha da Regina I was determined to make Portuguese green soup and pão de queijo (cheese rolls). I set a date with my boyfriend Jesse for a Sunday afternoon Brazilian feast. I’ve been known to cook themed dinners, which I think awards me the title of “Best Girlfriend Ever.” Pão de quiejo, I […]

Brazil in the Heart of Broward

Posted on July 7, 2016February 13, 2020 by Mandy Mizell

The word Brazilian is a sexy word, usually preceding other sexy words like “bikini,” “model” and “wax.” I believe I’m safe to assume that you don’t think food when you hear the word Brazilian, as you would with other nationalities, like Mexican and Italian. Brazilian food in the US is usually correlated with churrascurias (transl: barbecue), such […]
