This week, my clients received the benefit of my recent exploration of a local eatery. What a difficult self-imposed assignment… to be searching out delicious meals through out San Diego’s endless food scene. (ummm… kidding). This salad was born in my new favorite MEATery, Sausage and Meat in the North Park/Hillcrest/University Heights area of San Diego. They have…

Plantain Breakfast Sandwich
I sure do love my Plantain Pancakes with Ginger Syrup, but I typically opt for more savory breakfast foods. This sandwich offers the best of both worlds. Sweet plantain pancakes are fantastic with the crispy, salty bacon and buttery avocado slices. There are tons of healthy and satiating fats in this meal. It should keep you satisfied all morning and…
Curried Broccoli Salad
Deli counter salads are always so yummy, but they are often pretty expensive (Yes, I’m talking to you Whole Foods) so it’s a great idea to whip some up at home. It’s also a wonderful side dish to bring to summer potlucks, BBQ’s, or parties! Curried Broccoli Salad 6 c. broccoli florets, broken up into smaller pieces…
Bitchin’ Bacon Beef with Smashed Plantain Chips
I love using local foods in my meals and I especially love supporting the other food makers and artisans in my city. From its humble beginnings at the local farmer’s markets, San Diego’s Bitchin’ Sauce has risen to new heights of success and is currently sold in Whole Foods grocers throughout the country. What is Bitchin’…
What’s in my Grocery Basket?
Here are my shopping adventures from the past week! I went a bunch of places as usual. Wholesome Choice (WC) Trader Joe’s (TJ) Whole Foods (WF) Ralphs Amazon Rhythm Kale Chips. I wanted to compare these to the nacho kale chips at trader joes. Same exact thing. WC: $4.49 TJ: $3.99 WF: $7.99 (aka. highway…
Bacon and Jalapeño Omlette
Other names suggested were: 1. The Jalap-acon Omlette 2. The Jalap-acon-tro Omlette They seemed a little too gimmicky for me, so I stuck with the original food spellings (plus I like using the ñ in Jalapeño). Enjoy this as a fancier-than-normal beginning to your day, or cook up a bunch for your weekend brunch! It’s not…
Brussels and Bacon Hash
It’s no secret that everyone loves bacon. But brussels sprouts? File that relationship under “It’s Complicated”. Brussels have a lot of obstacles in making onto the mainstream dinner table. First of all, my parent’s generation is (rightfully) scarred from their parents deciding that boiling was the best cooking method. Um, Ew. Secondly, the smell of cooking brussels…
Nom Nom Paleo’s Kalua Pork
YOU GUUUUUUUYYYYYS. It’s seriously unreal how delicious this was. It was so delicious, that it is replacing our Thanksgiving TURKEY this year. Yep, the pig is on the menu! Many thanks to Nom Nom Paleo and her AMAZING talent. Buy her cookbook or visit her fun website here! I have SOOOOO many cookbooks and recipes stashed in…
3 Little Pigs Paleo Sandwich
Sandwiches! I love them and I know you do too. This sandwich was the result of a miscommunication. I asked for smoked turkey. The deli guy gave me smoked ham. NBD. I’m not picky. I also had some leftover bacon (really?! when does that ever happen?) and some salami. So naturally I would have to make…
Turkey Club Sliders
It’s too hot to cook in Orange County! Solution: use the grill and make mini sandwiches 🙂 Here’s a great spin on my Breakfast Sliders… Turkey Club Sliders 1 large Sweet Potato (make sure they’re “fatter”, not skinny) 1/2 lb. sliced turkey meat 1 avocado 6 slices of bacon, cooked and cut in half lettuce…
