Next up I found an excuse to use my black and golden… Continue Reading “More Pie, The Best Salad Ever & My 1st Vegan Food Swap.”

Endless Wonder: The Santa Monica Farmer’s Market.

I hate to come over here and bitch. Dirty life and its stresses and things. Boo. Nay. Well, be gone stress, before I cut you. All I will say is that I moved really fast and unexpectedly (always a good time) and that there… Continue Reading “Endless Wonder: The Santa Monica Farmer’s Market.”

Peach-Blueberry Pie w/ Lavender & Coconut Scented Crust.

The first thing I want to say is forgive the ugly photos. This is a pie I threw together a couple of years ago.

Cherry-Bulgur Burgers w/ Rosemary & Daiya Jack Cheese.

Look. I’m posting a recipe for something savory. Sort of. 😉 These burgers are pretty easy to put together and they grill really nicely.

Plum Tarragon Crisp.

I love plums. Ripe delicious plums that is. Unripe plums can kindly stay out of my life and mouth until they are ready. I fell in love with plums as a kid. We always used to take them to the beach. Along with p.b.… Continue Reading “Plum Tarragon Crisp.”

Heywood Grilled Cheese Shoppe.

I miss living in Echo Park. I moved from there to an area in LA called Franklin Village. While it’s super cool that you can see the “wood” of the Hollywood sign from the backyard, I miss my old stomping grounds. Something about the… Continue Reading “Heywood Grilled Cheese Shoppe.”
