True Food Kitchen

A few months ago my parents went to this restaurant in Newport Beach.  And when they told me about it, I was actually kinda jealous…until I found out a Santa Monica location was coming soon.  Hooray!  Kyle and I went to celebrate him being done with finals.  One year down!  Since the weather was gorgeous, we walked to Santa Monica Place.   The menu has a variety of options, from vegan to meat courses.  They even indicate which items are vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free to assist the diner.  Also, the staff is super knowledgeable… Read more >

Missing in action

I’m sorry (but I’m not sorry) that I’ve been MIA this week.  Playing catch-up after being on vacay is a never-ending process.  When I haven’t been working or sleeping, I’ve been spending every single extra second with Kyle.  Absence does make the heart grow fonder, FYI. I also stopped taking photos of my food for a while because my camera couldn’t keep up with my appetite.  I’ve been doing quite a number on the fridge/pantry (it’s as if I arrived home from Europe and immediately felt the need to ravage our kitchen and make up… Read more >

Replacement plate

Have you seen the new nutritional tool for Americans?  The pyramid has been replaced!  [source] I’m a big fan of Michelle Obama’s campaign against obesity…when she added a garden to the White House so soon after moving in, I knew she meant business.  It seems she’s been working overtime to make changes to the old model.  I have to say, this tool has seemed outdated for quite some time, so I’m glad that a new image will take over.  As you can see, it is now a plate, divided into the sections: vegetables, fruit, grains,… Read more >

Adios and bonjour

As promised, here comes the Euro flashback series…out of order, mind you, but better late now than never. Paris day 1: May 20th Once upon a time, two girls left Madrid to play in Paris.  Ok, I’ll cut the sh!t.  Laura and I said adios to Spain and the rest of our fam and headed off to enjoy some fun in France.  We woke up crazy early, long before the sun was even aware of it’s being a new day.  In the chaos of packing and stressing about what I was forgetting, I only managed… Read more >
