Monday started bright and early (well, if we are being technical about it, I never went to bed Sunday night…sooo…I guess it started at the stroke of midnight?). Whatever. I got home around 8 am and immediately showered, put on my PJs, and started some oats on the stove. I added a chopped gala to cook with the oats. By the way, this was a pretty hefty batch (in the 2 cup range). Can you believe this bowl was only half the yield? I was feeling crazy so I decided to bust open a… Read more >

I probably like pizza just as much as the next person, however, it’s not a food I eat very option given the primary ingredient (cheese) doesn’t have a place in my diet. But that’s no excuse (especially when cheese-less versions are just as delish and easy to make at home). While attempting to fit all the latest Costco buys in the fridge/freezer, I came across this delish Udi’s pizza crust. Sneaky bugger was hiding way in the back! In case you missed my previous review of this product, I loved it. Udi’s pizza… Read more >

For dinner I had pie on the brain. Pizza pie. Luckily I had a pre-made crust by Udi’s gluten free foods ready to go…thus reducing my prep time to under 30 minutes. Rachel Ray, you’ve got some competition. Udi’s provided me with the gluten free goods to review on the blog. In addition to being gluten free, they are also dairy free, soy free, and nut free. Basically, they are devoid of almost every common allergen. They are thinner than the typical pizza crust, but just as soft and doughy. These were my toppings of… Read more >

On the last Wednesday of August, at the peak of the tomato season, the village of Bunol, Spain stages a tomato war. For two hours, the participants happily pelt each other with the ripe, red fruit until the streets run with rivers of tomato juice. After the festivities, celebrants, friends and neighbors gather in the town square for food and wine festivities. This festival is called La Tomatina and is the inspiration for this beloved Walnut Creek restaurant. (source) Growing up, Tomatina was always one of my fave restaurants. Located in the heart of downtown… Read more >
