A Native reward

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 >

No Gratitude

Before I get to this…   I have to show you what I threw together the pervious day. People always love the quickie meal ideas I give more than the elaborate recipes (okay, I never have elaborate per se, but more involved).  So here’s another one that is highly adaptable and took under 5 minutes.   Thai sweet potato rice casserole with black beans.  Sounds like it took a lot of effort, when really, it was all thanks to a box, a can, and an appliance.    Pacific’s thai sweet potato soup may have been… Read more >

One handed Top Chef challenge

It’s hard to write about food…all I want to do is chat brag about my baby boy. He’s perfect.  So don’t be surprised if this blog veers a little in the family/baby direction.  But for now, I’m here with food stuff.  Even more than before, I need super fast meals.  Preferably healthy ones that can be made one handed.    I’ve basically been relying on the rice cooker and crock pot, per usual.  [You can see this post for my go-to quick & easy week night meals]  Love me a brown rice stir fry.   … Read more >
