The culinary journey of a jack of all trades... in blog form. http://maurpowerfoodie.wordpress.com/ Hi everyone! My name is Jason Maur. Nice to meet you. That’s me!
Born in raised in small town Monroe,CT and raised by a mother that believed everyone should be able to cook, food became a huge part of my life. I have since become an attorney, spend free time acting and doing stand-up comedy, but my passion is the art of cooking. Yes, cooking is an art. A way to express myself on a plate (or in a bowl, or whatever other canvas I use). My cooking style? Good ol’

Absolutely amazing anniversary dinner, celebrating 7 years. Took a trip up to Boston with the family and headed to Tuscan Kitchen.
Amazing cheese wheel tagliatelle with plenty of black truffle, chicken parm for the kids (though they shared and enjoyed everything), a GIANT meatball, ceasar salad, delicious zeppole for dessert, a smokey peach bourbon drink for me, and the lobster gnocchi that stole the show.
Everything was great, but this gnocchi may be the best I've ever had. Perfect bit of pan fry on the outside, pillowy and the exact right amount of chew on the inside, seasoned to perfection, with a touch of fresh black truffle, but not so much that it overpowered the buttery, tender lobster meat.

Happy Valentine's Day! Lucky to have the best Valentines to share it with. Two years in a row (dare I call it the new tradition...?) of making all day sauce and pasta from scratch with Alex and Leah!
Nothing better than getting to spend this day with the people I love most and creating special memories!

Late to the party, but finally made it to with the kids. A hit for adults and kids alike. We got the waffle tower (waffles, ice cream, cake, donuts, candy, Whipped cream cupcake, sprinkles) and the chicken Alfredo sub ( crispy chicken, fettuccine Alfredo, fried mozzarella sticks, on garlic bread with waffle fries). Both were over the top and delicious at the same time. Will be back for sure.

Me: I really need to use up what I have in the freezer before I buy anything else...

also Me: Man, has a lot of great sales right now. Better stock up on all the meat! **shrug**
Now Me: Where am I supposed to fit all of this??
