Highlights only. I could never recap an entire week! Footed PJs are the cutest thing ever. Saturday morning we had an open house. Rather than subject P to a million people germing up the joint, I took him for a walk. We went to the Farmer’s Market to re-stock on spinach (this habit requires a constant influx of greens). After everyone left I came home and got ready for a BBQ with friends. We picked up some apps on the walk over (oh how I will miss these easy walks to friends houses in Santa… Read more >

Kyle and I had a date last weekend at Native Foods. Again. I love love love this place and so even though we swore we wouldn’t spend money going out to eat when we had so much food to finish off before moving, we got an invitation from friends (they picked Native Foods!!) and so we took it as a sign couldn’t turn it down. So here’s the thing. I’ve used the restaurant’s rewards card every single time we’ve gone and never gotten anything. We’ve been the Palm Springs location, the Culver City location, the… Read more >

Now that I’ve shared the big news, I can start talking about all the last minute things we’ve been up to as our LA residency comes to a close. On our drive back down to So Cal, Kyle and I created an LA bucket list. Unfortunately, we will not be able to hit up all the restaurants we wanted to. There’s too much food in our fridge/freezer (slash we need to save $$$) to justify going out to eat the way that we both want to. Which would have to be every night for… Read more >

Like I mentioned forever ago, I made this for dinner, lunch, and then dinner again because it was so good. It’s inspired by Native Foods’ sesame kale macro bowl, which I’ve gotten countless times before. Chef Tanya’s version has steamed kale, brown rice, creamy ginger sesame sauce, tangy sauerkraut, gomasio and toasted sesame seeds. Mine had steamed kale, quinoa, sauerkraut, and a creamy sunflower seed dressing. The only thing you really need a “recipe” for is the dressing I made (because otherwise, you just add quinoa and kale and sauerkraut to a… Read more >

Just a [link filled] reminder… Certain recipes are so good they are worth repeating. Often. Like quinoa granola. And egg & kale breakfast strata (in muffin form). And mushroom miso & squash stew. And daiya pizza. And vegetarian chorizo & kale rice casserole. By the way, I totally figured out what this meal reminds me of. I am reluctant to share though, since it’s (cringe) Hamburger Helper. Don’t judge, just make it. And baked potatoes with the works. [There’s more of that vegan chorizo] And mushroom stroganoff. [I added TVP this time to increase the… Read more >
