Mex for all

  You’d think after a week of breakfast burritos Kyle wouldn’t be stoked for Mexican night, but you’d be wrong.  [The above is a burrito I made for him with Boca veggie chik’n burgers, salsa, & cheddar]   For both of us, I made this huge thing of brown rice, pinto beans, and salsa because it allows for flexible meal creation. brown rice –> 2 cups in the rice maker pinto beans –> 1 cup in the rice maker salsa –> 1/2 cup of Sabra’s mango peach salsa (!!!)

Since it’s LA, I know it won’t last too long, but I have to say, these stormy skies and rain clouds aren’t fun at all. Breakfast came really late on Saturday.  After saying goodbye to my sis (until we reunite in Europe in May), Kyle and I drove back to Santa Monica so I… Read more >
