Slightly hidden, cute spot.

Had a Living Social coupon to try out the Backyard Bar in West Palm. It's a cute spot and has a good amount of outdoor seating, but in S Florida...I wouldn't count on it not raining. If it is raining, there is bar seating but it is very limited. We went on a Tuesday and it had Happy Hour all day but when using a coupon like this, they charge you regular prices.

We had their spareribs with a garlic bbq sauce, stuffed mushrooms, charcuterie plate and a cheese plate. If you are looking for a strong garlic flavor I would recommend tempering your expectafions on the bbq sauce but overall it was a good flavor. The charcuterie plate was good, the salami had good flavor and the ham was decent...although the little biscuits they provided with the crackers didn't really work.

Overall, it's a great little spot to try something different from the rest of West Palm but if you are looking for a decent wait when ordering your food...you may want to go somewhere else. Their kitchen is tiny and if they have over 10-15 ppl ordering, your wait will seem like years. Remember, it is also a bed n breakfast that hosts wine parties as well.

Best Ribeye in S Florida (believe it).

I went to Cut 432 in Delray for my birthday last year, so this review is long overdue.

Cut 432 has the best Ribeye steak I've had in S Florida. Not only was the steak cooked to perfection but it was charred on point and was also served bone-in.

Everything is a-la carte but well worth it. I ordered the Truffle Fries and the mushrooms...great, but the steak was enough. That is all I needed. For dessert, I did order their Banana Cream Pie...ehh, I would maybe skip this one next time.

Omelette, Kimmie Style.

Made an egg white omelette this morning. I cooked up some meatless crumbles, onions, mushrooms, garlic, and ricotta cheese and added it to the omelette. Yum! Oh, and I love sauce so I threw on some sauce on top...delicious.

Spaghetti Squash Pizza.

So during one of my frequent daydreaming sessions, I came up with the idea for spaghetti squash pizza. I didn't want to make it on dough or use my typical whole wheat pita bread so I wanted to use the squash as a substitute.

It was truly a labor of love and almost 2.5 hrs, a few re-starts, and a few glasses of white wine...we had our (almost there) desired result.

To recap, we cooked the squash like normal, flattened it out on a plate and after many attempts at drying it out, we put it in the freezer to make it hold its shape. We then added egg and some breadcrumbs in and put it into the skillet...cooked it on both sides and put it on the stone. (This is where I would, for the next time, cook it a 3rd time for awhile)...but we added the toppings on and baked it like a regular pizza.

For toppings we added: peperoncini, onions, green Spanish olives, black olives, meatless crumbles, mushrooms, cheese, sauce, cherry bomb peppers, and serrano peppers.

Overall, it was amazing and will take less time once the recipe gets perfected.

My take on Chicken Parm.

Took chicken breast and seasoned them and cooked them on the stove for about 5 mins on each side.

Chopped up garlic, sliced onions, put in mushrooms, and chopped up yellow squash...put in crockpot with the chicken and chopped tomatoes. Cooked on high for an hr., added tomato paste.

Cooked on low for 5 hrs., although, I would recommend cooking for 4-4.5 instead...it was still moist but I would take it out a bit earlier.

Rather than cooking pasta, I cooked up spaghetti squash. Cut it in half, put rind side up in a bed of water...cooked at 375 degrees for 45 mins-1 hr. Take it out when it is soft to touch and is not firm. Use a fork and spoon to pull out strands. It is a great alternative to pasta.

Homemade veggie lasagna.

Sauteed some zucchini, yellow squash, white, onions, mushrooms, green onions, and buffalo. Also dried out and used tofu instead of using ricotta cheese. We also chopped up a variety of fresh herbs and mixed them into the tofu.

You layer everything into a baking dish, 350 or 375 degrees for 45 mins to 1 hr. Serves 4-6. Long process but totally worth it.

Lunchtime @ Publix.

Had a half Philly Sub with green and red peppers, onion, mushrooms, and provolone cheese.
