Whenever I get a recipe out in real time it’s because it was so good I can’t not share it immediately. I basically dropped everything (except my son of course) to write this post. Now THIS is what I’m talking about! I rarely put much work into lunch. It’s my quickie meal of the day. I throw together whatever. Dinner is the meal I spend more time on, prepping and planning. But this was a very worthwhile exception. Sure it took a bit more work. But actually, not really. To me, the 90s were all… Read more >

That thing up there. That’s home-made sushi. Yeah. I know. [The fact that I had to explain what a food photo is…speaks volumes…right?] I’m really not sure what I’m worse at – rolling or slicing. But it was bad guys. Really bad. I welcome all comments that can assist in future sushi making. Clearly skimming the pamphlet that came with the sushi mat (back when I got it four years ago) wasn’t enough. For filling ingredients we went kinda untraditional. This was a tofu spread that I made with extra firm tofu, tahini, and soy… 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 >

Breakfast #1: mom’s plum jam + Earth Balance + cinnamon raisin Vital Vittles Breakfast #2: quinoa + scrambled eggs Lunch: Love Grown Cocoa Goodness oat clusters + raspberries + almond milk I had 3 bowls of this, so there’s not much left in the bag. Maybe one servings worth? Stupid serving sizes. Snack: apple + Trilogy Kombucha In the afternoon, Kyle went on a walk and wound up in our old neighborhood and decided to pop into Santa Monica Seafood. This is the only place I’ve found close to me that makes… Read more >

You must be sick of non-food (aka house progress) posts by now, huh? Ok, how about my work food for a change of pace (slash return to the real reason I blog). Breakfast… Oats, puffed millet, white chia seeds and sunflower seed butter on top. You want me to back up with that? 1 cup whole rolled oats + 1 1/2 cups boiling water + 1/4 cup puffed millet + 1 tbsp chia seeds Once I let them sit a bit, the water got soaked up and the chia seeds gelled, so… Read more >
