What's New:

In Recipes: Enchiladas for One

• These single serve enchiladas were born during my quest to clean out my freezer. I used some leftover carnitas pork roast from Aldi as my filling, but I think you could do this with really any kind of shredded meat for a different method of using up leftover. The Enchilada sauce is heavily based on the red enchilada sauce from the food blog gimmesomeoven with the ratios adjusted to my preference with spices I had available.

​ In Restaurant Reviews: Visiting Steel Belly BBQ At the Lawrence Food Truck Rally

• This past weekend, the Green Bay Food Truck Coalition held their annual Food Truck Rally at Quarry Park in Lawrence, and of course, I made my way out to grab a quick dinner. I haven’t been able to make it to some of these events in a long time. I looked forward to making the short trip to a small but pleasant neighborhood park to see what was available on a Sunday evening. These events are known for bringing folks together with good food, music, and a little beer tent if you’re so inclined. I didn’t have the time to take in the latter, unfortunately, but I did get my hands on the food. ​

In Green Bay Coffee: Two Birds' Latte is One of the Best

• Two Birds is another location that I have visited before, and at the time of my previous article, I didn’t do much coffee drinking. It seemed only right to return and add them to our Coffee Run series as well. What better time to do it than when I had my father in town for a visit. Two Birds has historically been one of my favorite places to grab breakfast whenever I am out and about, so sharing it with family and friends is an option always. 

In Cookbook of the Month: Make it Japanese by Rie McClenny

• ​I don’t eat heavily, and I live alone. Cookbooks that often include recipes to serve a family of four are too much for me in my current life. In all of the recipes I have tried while cooking from Make it Japanese, I come out with smaller portions of leftovers than I have while trying recipes from other sources. I am learning how to cook simple, worthwhile foods from Rie’s culture and her current lifestyle as a new mom. I’m not wasting my time.

This Week's Video:

@eatingnormal We're trying something different this week by going back to my roots - restaurant reviews. I stopped at Mexico Lindo in West De Pere, WI recently and found a closer option for some al pastor tacos when the mood strikes me. I used to primarily do restaurant reviews on my website before I started doing shortform recipe/cooking content, so it felt like a nice return to form. You can see the full written review over at my website or use the link in the Eating Normal Linktree! #food #foodblogger #foodblog #restaurantreview #greenbaywisconsin #greenbaywieats #greenbayfoodie #deperewi ♬ original sound - Eating Normal

​In Writing: Paulie's Chop Shop Brings Local, Award Winning Meats to Ashwaubenon

• Ahead of the Draft, Paulie’s Chop Shop opened in Ashwaubenon, and I didn’t go to check it out despite the fact that I often shop at Hy-Vee, which is right down the road from Paulie’s. That changed this past weekend. My favorite markets where I usually seek out local meat don’t come back until the end of the month, and many of these vendors have their animals processed at Paulie’s. Luckily for me, Paulie’s knows no season. They’re available regardless of the farmer’s market season, and you can be assured that almost everything in the building is processed locally. ​
