Back in the day my favorite quick meal to make at home was a garbage quesadilla. What is a garbage quesadilla, you ask? Basically veggies and a veggie friendly protein stuffed into a tortilla with cheese (everything is better with cheese), fold the stuffed tortilla in half and brown in a pan on both sides. I am trying to not eat as many gluten products these days, so I have been making the heck out of Veggie Bowl-Ritos. What is… Read more »
Things are changing on my end. Derika and I are in the process of getting ready to relocate to NYC for her job at the end of this month! My days have been spent enjoying the beach, cooking and purging all of the things that we will not be able to take with us on this move. All of this purging has gotten me to thinking about all of the great things about San Diego that I will miss. Favorite… Read more »
“Everything is better with bacon!” This is all you hear nowadays and Mr. Bacon has been used and possibly abused in almost every way imaginable…poor boy. On the other hand, I have to admit I am a vegetarian, but even I can appreciate the creative things that bacon has inspired. I mean, come on…I just saw a bacon weave taco on Facebook for pete’s sake! I use to eat the heck out of bacon when I was little. Growing up,… Read more »

We were barreling down the freeway on our way to wine country, and were about half way there when we start to see all of these signs for split pea soup. These… Read more »
I have been making the heck out of almond milk lately. It is just so darn easy to make and a perfect complement to my smoothies in the morning. Over the course of a couple of weeks, I end up with a lot of almond pulp from all of the almond milk that I make. I really wanted to do a post on what to do with all of your almond pulp, so that you don’t throw your almond pulp… Read more »
I love the simplicity of a really good caesar salad. What I don’t like is the fact that most caesar salad dressings have raw eggs and anchovies in them. I recently discovered that sunflower seeds make a great base for creamy dips and salad dressings and that is the inspiration behind this dressing. Ingredients 1/2 C Soaked sunflower seeds 2 T Tahini 3 T Lemon juice 1 T Olive oil 1 Clove garlic 1 Tsp Miso 1/2 Tsp Sea salt… Read more »
