This is a low-carb version of the traditional New England clam chowder that is creamy and full of flavor.
Ingredients: 4 slices bacon, chopped. 1 onion, diced. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 2 cups cauliflower florets. 1 cup chicken broth. 2 cups clam juice. 1 cup heavy cream. 2 cans 6.5 ounces each minced clams, drained. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley. Salt and pepper to taste. ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum optional, for thickening.
Instructions: In a large pot, cook chopped bacon until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving bacon fat in the pot. Add diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until onion is translucent. Add cauliflower florets, chicken broth, and clam juice to the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook until cauliflower is tender, about 10-12 minutes. Using an immersion blender, blend the cauliflower mixture until smooth. Alternatively, transfer mixture to a blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot. Stir in heavy cream, minced clams, and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If a thicker consistency is desired, sprinkle xanthan gum over the chowder and whisk to combine. Allow chowder to simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with reserved crispy bacon pieces.

The Dish: Street Eats — Real Food, Real Flavor, No Shortcuts
The Dish: Street Eats — Real Food, Real Flavor, No Shortcuts
“There’s something instantly magnetic about Street Eats. Maybe it’s the bold graffiti walls, the neon buzz, or that unmistakable energy that says you’re about to eat something real. My friend and I, both New York foodies with a shared obsession for finding the good stuff, slid into a table at their St. George location on a Friday night, ready for an adventure. She had been to their previous spot and was excited to see how the new space and menu had evolved. I was there for the burger, and I’m glad I didn’t skip it.
We started with the Brussels sprouts, crisp and caramelized, the kind that convince you to eat your vegetables on purpose….”

“Let nothing dim the light that shines from within.” – Maya Angelou
This is for @creatingblackcharacters ’s Black History Month challenge! I decided to draw Walter from Don’t Starve Together (and his dog, Woby) for two reasons. The first being that he has a kind of joy and courage that doesn’t falter in the face of adversity. It’s not easy to be your authentic self, especially when society is constantly telling you you’re not good enough simply due to your race. My second reason for choosing Walter is because I wanted to specifically depict a Black child getting to just be a happy kid– too often, Black kids are forced to grow up too soon.
I’m not sure if this is the best phrasing, but what I’m trying to share to any Black viewers is that you deserve to be able to have your happiness and to embrace your inner child. I hope you get to do something today to take care of yourself, even if it is as simple as spending time with a beloved pet.
Some friends who I encourage to look into the challenge: @carnis-insanis @corvidcuriosites @ivaryn0 @horror-theorist
