Pork Chops

I made pork chops a few weeks ago with Christopher, I marinaded and he grilled. We work well together like that. I didn't really take pictures of the process but I did take a picture of the end result.

To marinade the pork chops I used Lawry's Signature Steakhouse marinade, one clove of minced garlic and the juice of half a lemon. I let it get happy over night and then Christopher grilled it up. Then I made fresh corn on the cob and broccoli to go with it. It was really good.

Brisket and Cupcakes, yes please!

Tonight I went to the Winter Park food pod at Eat More Produce. Four food trucks were in attendance, Big Wheel Truck, C&S Brisket Bus, Korean BBQ Taco Box and Yum Yum Cupcake Truck. Christopher and I got Brisket with Cole slaw and Texas toast from C&S and two cupcakes from Yum Yum. I love Yum Yum cupcakes they are so delicious. Today we tried orange cream dream and of course got our favorite chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting. It was very tasty.

I forgot to take a picture before I started eating. I also took this picture with my phone so it's not great.

YUM YUM!

We also bought some bread at Eat More Produce, they carry bread by Olde Hearth Bread Company. We got one loaf of Pumpernickel and one rye. I'm pretty excited! I have only ever had muffins from Old Hearth and they were very good.

Food Trucks

Finally, central Florida got in on the Food Truck trend, and I for one and THRILLED! I haven't tried all of them yet but, I want to share some of my favorites. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures =(

Big Wheel Provisions

This truck is amazing. They buy locally grown food and serve delicious stuff. Their motto is "local is lovely" and let me tell you, it definitely is. They post their menus for the week on their website and tweet all the time. My favorite thing I've had from them so far are the Beef "Yabba Dabba" Ribs. So good! They also make a mean chicken skewer, they have several different style chicken skewers so taste them all!

C&S Brisket Bus

I love meat. The Brisket bus makes some delicious brisket, I love the Texas, it's brisket, sweet and sour BBQ sauce on Texas Toast. YUM!

Yum Yum Cupcake Truck

They have, hands down, the best cupcakes I've ever had. The chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting is amazing. They make the best chocolate cake. They also have a really great lemon cupcake as well.

You can find these three trucks at the Lake Lily Food Truck Cafe in Maitland every Tuesday from 6-9p and all over greater Orlando throughout the week, just check their websites or twitter for their whereabouts.

Eating local food supports our neighbors, creates stronger communities and strengthens our local economy. So get out and eat some good food prepared by some of the most dedicated foods in town.
