What day is it????
Come on you know it’s Tuesday so that means Tacos! Well for me a taco bowl, but still with all the yummy fixings. I went super San Diego style and used Butcher Box cod for the protein so it was tasty, but healthy and light …

Sunday Summer Supper
I know it doesn’t feel like summer today if you’re in San Diego, but yesterday was the picture perfect sunny June day (no June gloom in yesterday’s forecast) so I was in the mood to make a light dish. I had a pork tenderloin defrosted …
Taco Tuesday is on deck
I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Having that extra day off is so nice, but trying to squeeze in five days of work into four is no bueno. So I decided to make dinner easy for the first work day this week …
Meat take a seat, Eggplant Parmesan is on Deck!
So we are on day 254 of Covid containment, but who’s counting (insert sarcastic laugh). I’m trying my best to vary recipes so we don’t get tired of eating the same thing every single week. I love, love, love cooking, but even I am at …

Meatless Monday
Day one of the clean eating program went off without a hitch. We started the day with a nutrient packed bowl of overnight oats and had a Mexican inspired rice bowl for lunch. I wanted to take that healthy momentum into our evening meal, so …
Fancy Flank Steak in a hurry
I love cooking. For those of you that know me personally, this comes as no surprise, and for those of you following my food posts and (hopefully) this blog, you’re starting to figure out my happy place is the kitchen (or working out, but that’s …
