pizza dough

Pizza salad

If you think the dough is the best part of a pizza, you may want to reconsider after this post… I think Kyle’s parents thought they were opening a pizza parlor when they went shopping for dinner.  No ingredient left behind.    Toppings: marinara spinach feta arugula parmesan red onion parsley red bell peppers basil yellow bell peppers goat cheese avocado tomatoes mozzarella green bell peppers roasted red peppers And those were just the raw toppings!   For the grilled veggies, we had million dollar mushrooms.  All we did was sauté them in olive oil.   … Read more >

Caravan of (live) dreams

Not surprisingly, my cookie breakfast didn’t hold my appetite at bay for very long.  When halftime of the first round of football games hit, Kyle and I headed to lunch.   I had to show Kyle the menu for this place before he agreed to go because the name of the restaurant really scared him.  I’ll admit, Caravan of Dreams is on the moon goddess fairy dream weaver end of the hippie spectrum…but the food makes up for the “out there” nature of the name.  They offer a variety of vegan and raw courses, but… Read more >

You stay classy San Diego

This past weekend was faaaaantastic. On Friday I luxxe-ed it up with my bestie, Jess, visiting from NYC.  I adore Caffe Luxxe, and Jess and I have identical tastes in everything (with the most important relevant being food), so obviously I had to share the pretty soy latte art with her. This is hers before she ruined it. And here she is while ruining it.  😉  Love this girl. I got a cafe au lait with soy milk, which I messed up very slightly by adding two packets of raw sugar (still going strong with… Read more >

His & hers pizza

Most Whole Foods stores sell pizza dough that’s ready-to-go.  They usually have both wheat and white available.  Yesterday Kyle and I were in the mood for his and hers pizzas, so we stopped by the store on the way home from a neighborhood stroll.  The dough was nowhere to be found!  The employees at the sandwich station were kind enough to go to the back to get me some dough, but the only kind available was white.  I was bummed, but we still got it (how could I refuse it after they were kind enough… Read more >

Luxxe Friday

This week has been truly perfect.  Much needed after last week’s sh!t storm of crazy.  Friday couldn’t have been a more amazing end to the week either. Kyle has Fridays off, so we both got to sleep in.  Brilliant start already.  Then we found out his waffle company made it to the finals – open to the public (on May 26th) if you want to attend.  Winner gets investors and money and a bunch of press, so this is HUGE.  While Kyle had a quick conference call I went on a short run (showered); and… Read more >
