Up until recently, I had never made an Asian dish that I totally loved. Though I think I'm a pretty good cook, Asian food just isn't my specialty. I think it has to do with the fact that I tend to eat other types of cuisine a lot more often. But this might be one of those situations where practice makes perfect (or at least better!), because lately I've been making Asian food more often, and perhaps not so coincidentally, I think I'm getting kind of good at just throwing together these kinds of meals on the fly. When I spotted fresh Japanese style noodles at the food store earlier, I couldn't resist getting them to try out. Paired with some tofu and veggies, including superfood soybeans, it quickly turned into a [delicious] Japanese noodle bowl dinner: Japanese Noodle Bowl ... [Read More]

Peach Protein Smoothie + Mixed Up Meals Monday
Whew, what a busy day! It always seems like I have a lot to get done at the beginning of the week. I was pretty productive but feel like I can never get everything checked off my to-do list.

Tofu Scramble Wrap
I've been having some really awesome Saturdays lately. My day consisted of a long morning walk with Harley around our neighborhood trail, going to the Little Italy Mercato with Jackie, yoga, and laying by the pool to read for awhile. What's not to love? At the farmer's market I picked up a lot of fruits and veggies, granola and avocado oil: Do you see those heirloom tomatoes? Can't wait to eat that deliciousness. Jackie is doing a juice cleanse next week so she bought an insane amount of produce today. Looking at her lugging her stuffed shopping bags around that were overflowing with greens was cracking me up. Buying a bunch of veggies and hearing about Jackie's juice cleanse prompted me to try throwing spinach into my afternoon smoothie. Green Monster shakes are ... [Read More]
