After losing two rental cars in four days while driving around Ireland, my Foodspotting colleague Chris and I realized we have the worst car luck in the world. When we got back to Dublin, we forged ahead on foot and stumbled across a new restaurant called San Lorenzo’s on opening night. I ordered the rack of lamb, which filled my stomach and calmed me down. Good food has a way of making bad times better.

On the last day of their whirlwind trip around Ireland, Chris and Amy found themselves back in Dublin after a tire on their rental car blew out. In this video, they venture out looking for dinner with our trusty Foodspotting app leading the way…

Stupidly Simple Banana Pudding As promised, Stupidly Simple Snacks is back! This week I have my world traveling French friend Nico Alary in the kitchen with me. We were going to make a French snack, but decided they were either too difficult (crème brûlée) or too easy (bread and cheese) so we made one of our favorite desserts instead. Watch it on my YouTube channel and don’t forget to subscribe so you’re notified as soon as new episodes are added! Sorry I have been so shite (that’s British for ‘shit’) about posting on Tumblr. I am making two videos for Foodspotting this week so am keeping my head down until then. Also, I’m looking for an intern who wants to learn about web video production, social media and food, so if you live in New York and are interested in details, email me amy[at]amyblogschow.com. (Update: Ha! Photographer Sean Scheidt replied saying ‘shite’ is how you pronounce his last name. In that case, it is not shit in any language.)

Resurrecting Guacamole

It looks like I never shared my guacamole snack video on Tumblr. Eek!

I filmed this episode last May while I was visiting Jenna in Ecuador. Well there’s no time like the present to resurrect Stupidly Simple Snacks! Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone.

Also, fun update: just learned that Guactacular was featured in the Village Voice last week and it mentioned that I’d be judging at the guacamole cook-off this Sunday. It’s the third annual Guactacular hosted by Nachos NY, the self-made nacho and nacho topping authorities of New York City. Hooray - more guacamole!

“We So Excited”

My days are dedicated to trying to make things “go viral” and, to be frank, I have not done this quite yet. 13-year-old Rebecca Black’s music video, Friday, has been seen over 60 million times with 120,212 likes and 1,076,631 dislikes (and counting) on YouTube. Herein lies a lesson for us all… You won’t always be liked by everyone, but you don’t need the approval of the masses either.

Just got home from Foodspotting’s morning Social Media Week panel at Whole Foods Market and now gearing up for the rest of the day. BUT, before I do that, I have to show you guys the video I was working on all last week!

In celebration of Social Media Week, Foodspotting wanted to make a video with some of the most notable names in the social media & food space, like Amanda Hesser of the New York Times and Food52.com; and Caroline Waxler of Lucky Magazine. My Foodspotting colleague, Jeremy,  and I ran around the city to meet our video stars at their favorite restaurants and, I have to say, it was tight scheduling, but it all came together beautifully.

It’s that time of year when you start wondering: What on earth did I accomplish in the last 365 days? In my latest post, I take a look at a note I sent myself last December and consider the fact that I’d only produced six snack videos by this time a year ago. Today, there are 35 Stupidly Simple Snacks in the world. Click here to tell me which episode was your favorite for a chance to win a gift bag from me and Real Simple magazine. Good luck and happy Tuesday, everybody! amy

Stupidly Simple Snacks : Caramel Apples for Halloween

I got my ish together in time to film a Halloween-themed snack - hooray! Otherwise, you would’ve had to watch me make Spicy Hot Chocolate, which is the snack video I launched exactly a year ago today. Granted, hot chocolate is delicious, but it’s not exactly appropriate for trick or treat. And now that the snack video is up, it’s time to plan the Foodspotting Halloween dessert crawl happening this Sunday. If you’re in New York, come scavenge for sweets with me!

Tuesday was a long, but good day. I turned one whole hour of snack footage into four minutes! (Usually I only have about 30 minutes of video to edit.) However, as I mentioned last night, I temporarily lost my sanity and decided that making TWO SOUPS - pumpkin soup and cream of broccoli - would be a good idea. To be frank, the soups were excellent, but I learned the hard way that they’re only easy to make if they come from a can. Still, soup skills are good to have in case you need to feed an army on the cheap. So, without further ado, I present Stupidly Simple Snacks: The Souper Hard Edition.
