Sunday Tofu Caesar Salad Totally gonna be a regular from now on. Easy peasy and deeeelish. Monday Cabbage & Green Chickpea Curry with brown rice Kyle requested this. He wanted cabbage specifically. Turns out, cabbage is cheap. The other ingredients were things we had on hand already – including frozen green chickpeas (365 brand) and carrots. I made a slurry of sauce with the same curry paste I used here (Patak’s brand) with plain greek yogurt (Chobani 2%). Then I added the veg and waited for the cabbage to wilt. Served it up over… Read more >

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 >

These are some of the dishes and plates we served at my parents’ holiday party. Caprese Skewers Ingredients: fresh mozzarella balls cherry tomatoes basil leaves Directions: These are self explanatory. Using toothpicks or small skewers, pierce tomatoes, then basil leaf, then mozzarella. If the basil leaves are too big, you can fold them in half or rip a smaller portion. If you can find mozzarella balls that are marinated in Italian seasonings, use those, otherwise you can drizzle a balsamic vinaigrette over the skewers just before serving. Bread with Smoked Salmon & Herbed Crème… 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 >

Contrary to what my posting may indicate, I do still work! Sorry I’ve been withholding my packed eats from you guys. I have only been taking pictures of 50% of them, though, so here’s what I’ve got. Hope this helps you with some ideas! Oats. Veggies. Pretzels. Sabra hummus (x2). Lasagna (leftover). Cookies. Apple. Candied ginger. Oat preference as of late: nuts, cinnamon & dried cherries. When the cherries soak overnight they plump up to get to be the size of full cherries. It’s pretty cool. Now that we are meal planning, my real real… Read more >
