I mentioned in this post that I went to Sasa for dinner with my family while home for the holidays. As you can see from the menu above (or clicking on the restaurant the link), their food concept is Asian Fusion with small plates to share. I love small plate menus because then you get to order a ton of things so you wind up sampling a lot. And trust me, this menu had plenty I was eyeing. In fact, the food was so freakin’ good, as a food blogger, I felt it wasn’t cool… Read more >

You all know I’m frugal. And that I like re-working leftovers. This is not news. So when Alene & Ethel sent me home with extras from the shower, I was really excited to transform them into new dishes not have to cook for a while. Orzo salad with sun dried tomatoes. Quinoa with edamame, kale, and tomatoes. Both of these dishes made their way into the weekly dinner plan immediately. Since the orzo salad had an Italian/Mediterranean flavor profile going on already, I just added to it. Cubed some (drained, uncooked, firm) organic tofu… Read more >

I woke up Saturday sooo excited. a) Friends in town! Hooray!! b) Golfing date! c) A non-work weekend! Finally!! [Whoa exclamation points] You probably can’t tell the volume of Earth Balance in either of these photos, but since the bread was home-made it soaked it all up like a sponge. There was probably a quarter of a cup of butter. Pretty awesome, huh. Golfing snacks. I only ate the apple. 9 holes later we all headed back to Santa Monica for some brunch. Zengo was packed, but we eventually got a table for 9 (in… Read more >

I just want everyone to know that’s how I read “WIAW.” Yes, I’m weird. So each week, when Wednesday rolls around, and the whole blog world shares their “What I Ate Wednesday” posts, I’m constantly doing Indian chants in my head. Better than out loud I suppose… Maybe you want to click away from my crazy blog now. Or maybe you’ll read WIAW like that from now on, too. Sorry. This is actually what I ate on Tuesday, posted on Wednesday. But, WIATPOW doesn’t really roll off the tongue. 5:30 – coffee with almond milk… Read more >

Oh night shift, how you disrupt my sleep cycle. How’s that for a cluttered night stand?! The ear plugs are the latest addition to help with my daytime snoozing sitch. Ugh. Again, I slept minimally after noche dos of nursing. Side note: I’m always hesitant to use that word when talking about night shift because I get weird google search terms…sorry to all the moms nursing their newborns all night long searching the internet for nursing related advice…only to click on my blog and not find anything helpful. My packed food was perfection. I’m… Read more >
