    Miso brown butter popcorn is the perfect way to elevate your movie snack. Brown butter gives you the classic flavor you love, but then the miso takes it up a notch for umami, salty goodness in every bite.

    brunch review: potomac point winery;

    March 31, 2017bestwithchocolate@gmail.com

    Potomac Point Winery is down south of NoVA, rather than west like a lot of other wineries we frequent. We were actually looking at it as a possible wedding venue, though jury’s out if it’ll make the cut!  It’s a gorgeous property, and not too bad to find. We’ll kick off the review with brunch: the food was delicious!  Tyler and I were both starving after our wedding venue tour, so that probably added a few points in their favor. But the food we had was delicious!  I went with a grilled chicken, pesto, and sweet pepper flatbread. It was…

    Chicago: Deep Dish Pizza, Yum

    July 6, 2016bestwithchocolate@gmail.com

    I just got back from Chicago and wanted to share all the culinary highlights!  It was a great trip, although my face was having none of the back of forth of humid weather and super dry AC. But other than that it was a good trip!  Packed full, but not too full of you know what I mean, so that you actually get to enjoy relaxing away from work for a little while. Sometimes I feel like all my vacations nowadays just revolve around food. Just fill in the spaces to get to the next meal. Not that I’m complaining,…

    So if you’ll remember allllll the way back to my very first post: beer tasting housewarming: pepper cheddar popcorn, I had some unique popcorn flavor suggestions for you all!  Well I’m back with a few more!  Over memorial day weekend, my friends from high school wanted to do a Disney/Pixar movie marathon, and by golly, we did!  We didn’t pick a line-up until we were all there, but my best friend D made some Disney props so we could take pictures.  We actually didn’t take a ton because we were busy catching up and watching movies and eating food, but the ones…

  • "Crack" Popcorn - Review: Copperwood Tavern

    brunch review: copperwood tavern;

    January 31, 2016bestwithchocolate@gmail.com

    So this is my first review post, and you might be wondering why I’m taking my food blog down this route.  The short answer is that I love some of the restaurants in the VA/DC area, and I simply wanted to record some of those places for my own personal easy reference when a friend comes in town or if I feel like T and I have been stuck in a rut restaurant-wise.  If I continue to do this in the future, I will definitely need to take more photos though! The longer answer is that I was somewhat inspired…

    So we might’ve moved in over a month ago.  We also might’ve had our party just under a month ago.  But I did just re-make this pepper cheddar popcorn and wanted to share it with the world.  Mostly because I made it by accident, and those are the tastiest recipes.  Plus it’s just so fun to watch the kernels popping …! We decided to have a beer tasting housewarming!  Since everyone we invited was coming from all over, we just had everyone bring a 6-pack or a growler of some awesome local beers!  We got an awesome variety, and we downed…
