Half raw-violi

The zucchini from my mom’s garden is out of control! There’s my forearm as a reference. Pretty ridiculous huh? I guess her garden’s raised beds are doing the trick…no more gophers snacking on the veggies before we can get to them. Since her produce is multiplying like the Jolie-Pitt gang, my mom’s been encouraging me to help her put them to good use. Being the obedient daughter that I am, I got right to work. Fresh from the vine vegetables? You don’t have to ask me twice! This meal is from last month (when I… Read more >

Qu’est-ce qu’on mange?

Mon ami, c’est Ratatouille! Pixar had it right: “Why do they call it that? If you’re gonna name a food, you should give it a name that sounds delicious. Ratatouille doesn’t sound delicious. It sounds like "rat" and "patootie." Rat-patootie, which does not sound delicious.” But trust me, it is très délicieux. Tomatoes, onions, zucchini, bell peppers, and eggplant…all oiled up and ready for the grill. Isn’t it amazing that salt and extra virgin olive oil can work such magic on the barbecue? All together now… Magnifique. To accompany the ratatouille, we threw together… Read more >

And since the days of BBQ have peaked, these arrival of these Garlic Gold products couldn’t have been more timely. *Disclaimer: I did receive these products from the company to review. This is a side shot of the Garlic Gold Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette which we used as a marinade for the fish as well as the veggies. Check out those layers! So many glorious flavors in the oil mix.

Getting back

Today was a full day. A wedding prep extravaganza kind of a day. Items now crossed off the to-do list: meeting with our pastor (for pre-marriage classes) invitation finalizing & printing (more) ring shopping (we finally got our wedding bands!) hair appointment-ing (no clue what I’m going to do with the mop I am rocking right now, but hopefully she’s got some ideas) closing my solo bank account (joint bank accounts, what, WHAT!) laundry gym time re-packing for yet another trip (back to New York this time!) That was thrilling for you to read about,… Read more >

Mexican Skunk Dance

I’m glad you guys are enjoying my tips for navigating the veg friendly parts of Cabo San Lucas… For our last night in Cabo we went to Hacienda El Coyote for dinner. The interior was on the eclectic side, but this was still probably one of the more “fancy” restaurants we went to. In addition to the restaurant area, they had a Tequila Lounge, and a few different outside seating areas. Navigating the wine list was the first priority after being seated. Check. Second order of business, the menu. Kyle started with a tomato salad… Read more >
