Monday Risotto Tuesday Quinoa quiche. It’s a cheap and easy staple. Not much else to say. I wish I could tell you this provided leftovers…but we are oinkers. Wednesday Curry stir fry with quinoa. This was the star of the show. I’ve been working on actually going through our pantry and (gasp) using all the stuff I’ve been hoarding since the 2000s. I got this jar of Patak’s mild curry paste the same time (and place) I got these noodles. Now that I just googled the company, I see they have a ton of pastes… Read more >

My birthday week started last weekend with apple picking. After that we headed to lunch at Mendocino Farms. As much as I love the place, it’s not conveniently located for me. But since we had already been in the car for well over an hour, we figured what’s an extra few miles out of the way? Kyle got the Modern Tuna Melt which has “all white Albacore tuna with fresh herbs, farm house cheddar, vegenaise, housemade pickles, red onions, tomatoes, Scarborough Farm’s greens on panini grilled buckwheat.” He nixed the pickles, obviously, and deemed it… Read more >
