Happy 10/10/10 to all my fellow number lovin’ freaks 🙂
Friday Kyle & I headed up to the Bay Area to spend the weekend with my fam. Saturday was harvest at my fam’s vineyard. and the Cal v. UCLA football game. And today, Sunday, we are heading back to So Cal.
Here are some pics from the weekend, some food, some not.
Eats for the I-5
Cheerios, raw nuts, pumpkin seeds, carob chips, and raisins.
PB & Jizzle (ew?) & Gingerfizzle (so glad Synergy Kombucha is BACK!!!)
K-Sizzle (ok, I’ll quit it with the -izzles now…)
Sabra hummus & Costco falafel
Kona begging Marie for a walk. How can you deny that face?
Marie showing Milo (post-walk) how to drink water (he’s not a big fan of the H20).
New product!
My parents always have a pantry full of snacks, and since I’m “the finisher” of the family, this bag had it coming as soon as I stepped in the door.
RiceWorks flavored gourmet brown rice chips.
There are six flavors and after trying the sea salt ones, I want to try all the rest. These were so good! Definitely nothing like the rice cake fluff I was expecting. Texture-wise they are like a more grain-y tortilla chip, but the brown rice makes the flavor totally different.
I decided to incorporate them into a dinner salad with spinach, strawberries, and avocado.
Crushed crunch.
The dried cranberries were a bit of an afterthought, but at least they got a photo, unlike the balsamic vinaigrette dressing (which never got it’s shot in the spotlight.
Kyle took these pictures of his own salad because he thought it looked so pretty.
His had leftover BBQ chicken, crumbled feta, cherry tomatoes, and carrots.
And yet he refuses to do a guest post…
What a cute ‘lil bugger.
Pre-gaming with my parents.
What a pitiful game :(
What do you do when you are drunk and your team just lost (but your parents’ team won)? Make them buy you a Mexican feast. CASA!!!!
My beast of a burrito. Plus some surrrrious salsification.
I made a huge bowl of guacamole for the fam to share with 2 1/2 avocados, lime juice, and pico de gallo.
Buritto butt.
It was a perfect summer fall day, so we all ate outside.
Grilled veggie burrito with both pinto and black beans.
If you are in the Bay Area, Casa Gourmet is a local hole-in-the-wall Mexican joint that is practically legendary in the neighb.
Good weekend.
In this whole post, two things really stick out : 1) KOMBUCHA IS BACK?! and 2) I want that burrito!! Hope you have a great Sunday!!
I was at the game too! But I’m a golden bears fan (because I go to school here) so it was a good game for us. 🙂
AHH i haven’t had a kombucha since it’s been back. i actually can’t find it! sad. I hope i do soooon. i LOVE numbers.. today is my day! <3 you
P.S. from your comment i gathered you will be at foodbuzz, i should have guessed since you are a west coast babe now.. but i got REAL excited when i realized this. REAL EXCITED.
Oh my goodness Kona is adorable!! And I’ve been wanting to try those chips… now I think I will! I looove chips in guac and/or hummus but I need to start crushing them on my salads too. Way better than croutons!
P.S. I added your blog to my reader recently and am really loving it!
i love your haircut!!
My team lost too 🙁 I drowned my sorrows in wedding cake and beer. (I was at a wedding reception, I didn’t just buy a wedding cake to eat…)
so glad you had a good weekend– theres nothing like pregaming with the rents, haha
Veggie burritos are my fav!
Haha–fellow number freak here!
Loving the falafel and Sabra action–can’t say no to double chickpea dipping.
more october facts:
So we have 10-10-10, but we ALSO have 5 fridays, 5 saturdays, and 5 sundays which I was told only happens every 800 years! AND 10 is a multiple of 5 making October the best month ever.
Do something fun at 10:10!!
🙂 Love it!!
hahaha..i would have been seriously worried had you gone and purchased a wedding cake for you alone to drown your sorrows in…cake and beer are good choices, though.
hi megan!! thanks for the kind comment and for stopping by. cant wait to pop over and check out your blog now.
thanks amy 🙂
dude, you have NO idea how stoked i am to meet you in real life 🙂
i knowwww!!! weeeee…kombucha is BACK!
congrats to you then…i was raised in the bay area, and my whole fam went to cal, so i grew up cheering “roll on your bears…” but then i went to ucla and my alliances switched. i still have a soft spot in my heart for cal of course…its only difficult when they play the bruins. 😀
