Hearty (Homemade) Beef Stew

A few weeks ago while grocery shopping, I was looking for something I could make that would not require a lot of work.  You see, recently I've found that a lot of low-grade recipes have been more my speed.  With my work schedule getting more insane, school getting a bit more tedious, and my personal picking up and leaving the city in a few months, my brain feels like it's going in a million directions.  After a day involving any of the above, the last thing I wanna do, is cook something that will require a lot of time or attention.  Thank goodness while cruising through the meat case at Marsh, I saw the thick cut beef for stews, and immediately thought Beef Stew.

Super Bowl Party? Try Some Variety...

This year's Super Bowl is bound to be a good game, showcasing both the offensive prowess of the 49ers, and the brute strength of the Raven's defense. In between breaks, when you're not watching the e-Trade baby or some stupid Doritos commercial, I'm sure you'll be cramming some sort of food or dip into your mouthhole. The question of what to bring/make for a party you're attending?

Chris' Ice Cream...& Tacos?

Chris' Ice Cream - Nora (82nd /Monon Trail)

Recently, while trolling Twitter, I had a friend tell me about a place in Nora that I absolutely had to try.  According to my friend, this place has amazing and inexpensive tacos that give other area restaurants a run for their money.  Now what if I told you that the restaurant was "technically" a homemade ice cream shop?  Weird, right?  The exact same thing I thought...but then the very next thing I felt was intrigue.

Truly Authentic (Carniceria Guanajuato)

There truly is an extreme difference when biting into a "Mexican dish" as opposed to a truly "Authentic Mexican dish". You get that true taste and mixture of herbs, salsa, guacamole, and meat that's cooked a certain way, that you personally cannot perfect yourself.  When visiting this restaurant I had a flashback of my cruise to Mexico. Since then, I've never had such an authentic Mexican dish outside of Mexico...until now. And the best part, it will not burn a hole in your wallet!

Season Greetings my fellow foodies! Thanksgiving is over, and Christmas is just around the corner! We have been roasting our brains thinking of some new and exciting recipes and other content that we will be featuring soon!

Everyone knows that I am the late night food guru for Mealightenment. I am combing the streets at some point between the hours of 11PM and 3AM looking for fantastic food at a good price.

Homemade Sushi, 3-Ways

What the hell have I gotten myself into?

A few weeks ago, my wife and I were grocery shopping.  While walking down the International Foods isle, I found a package of seaweed wraps, and thought, "How cool would it be if we made our own sushi?"

Seoul Grill Indy Review

In Indianapolis food trucks, having a solid identity and offering something truly unique is what makes you stand out amongst the others.  One mobile restaurant really stands out for us here @Mealightenment, and that is Seoul Grill Indy.  The first thing that caught my eye about this truck was the wicked paint job on their truck; and to be honest, as did "Korean."  I had to stop and try it out.
