I think my two favorite things to cook are stir fries and soup. (Mmmm…fries….oh wait. Never mind). I love them because they are easy, relatively quick to pull together, and are so adaptable. Plus there’s the potential for lots of leftovers and the ability to basically throw whatever you have in the kitchen together for [...]

January Date Night at Zocalo Grill
I wanted to try one new restaurant a month, and after trying twice, we finally got out last Friday night and visited Zocalo Grill, which is in Old Town San Diego. Now, Old Town is pretty touristy and the Mexican food is pretty sub-par at most places in the area, but I’d heard really good [...]
Crock-Pot Mulligatawny Soup
Super-cool news at the bottom of this post!! Well, cool for me, anyway.
I had big plans to do lots of Christmas shopping today. Go ahead….ask me how much I got done. I did buy 1 1/2 presents online…so that’s something, right?
I was really lazy today, and honestly, it was nice. Except for the fact that [...]
Veggie and Vitamin-filled Dinner
Tonight’s dinner was so good, I’m posting it even though my photos, well, suck.
(I really think I need a new camera, but also the lighting in my condo is terrible. I need to do more experimenting with lighting…and learn how to take photos! I think my blog will be 100% better if I can improve [...]
He Cooks, He Cleans!
Back from Central California! We had a really nice time at the wedding. There was definitely some splurging in the food category, but I did manage to eat healthy breakfasts (I followed Tina’s advice before she even gave it!), not drink too much, and squeeze in a great treadmill workout on Saturday.
On Friday night we [...]
Pre-Vacation Soup Making
By the time you read this, I’ll be in Palm Springs! I’m hoping the trip is a really nice mix of activity (between the golf course, tennis court, pool, and gym), relaxation, and fun foods/drinks. Mitch’s dad and his wife are being so gracious in treating us to this lovely (and I might add, NEEDED) [...]
Easy, Yummy Doctored-Up Soup
As I’ve mentioned, I LOVE soup. I love how filling and (typically) healthy soup can be. I will eat soup pretty much year-round. Tonight, when I came home from a tough but gorgeous beach run, soup was the fastest and easiest thing I could make, so soup it was. I prefer to make soup myself [...]
Fiesta Vegetable Soup, Ribs Optional
As I’ve stated before, I love making soups in my crock pot. I also love Mexican food (living less than an hour from Mexico will do that to a person) so I decided to give a “Latin” spin on my usual vegetable soup. By adding spices typical to Mexican cuisine (or Americanized Mexican, whatever), I [...]
Blogger-inspired (and Supplied!) Lunch
This time change is messing me up! This morning, I missed yoga because I forgot about the “Spring Forward” and woke up too late. (I ended up going at 5:30 instead. It was still light when I got out of class!)
Earlier today, I probably had the most delicious lunch I’ve had in quite some time. [...]
Soup and Dessert (and maybe Carne Asada)
A few days ago, we got the Trader Joe’s Fearless Flyer in the mail. I love getting their little ad-newspaper describing new (and classic) TJ products. I always read about something that I want to try next time I’m there (score one for the ad writers and marketing pros, I guess). This time, I saw [...]
