Happy 75th birthday to the Golden Gate Bridge! Or as some SF’ers I know call it the “GiGi”.

You’ve taken my breathe away to the point of tears on numerous occasions and your beauty never gets old. I make a point to catch a glimpse of you as many days of the week that I can because you, who stretches 9000ft across, just make everything better -your magical presence is calming and magnificent, and it makes me fall in love with this beautiful city over and over again. Here’s to you and 3M+ cans of international orange paint!

Double the Road Trip, Double the Fun

Fri, 25 May 2012 11:45:40 -0700

Holiday weekends are the best. I’m currently at work, sipping a pineapple mango mimosa (thanks to my cubemate for the pre-holiday bevvys!) which believe it or not is totally socially accepted the day before a holiday (at least I think it is). We’re counting down the minutes until it’s 1 PM like little school girls waiting for the bell to ring.

I’ve got two mini road trips on the agenda this weekend - up to Napa to stay at J’s parents condo, sun ourselves, and meet a few friends to wine taste (not complaining) - and then down to Carmel by the Sea to stay at this cutie Country Garden Inn (photo below) for more relaxing, exploring, and sunning (definitely not complaining!) - gotta love the California coast.

Where are you headed?

Happy feet? I’ll say.

“Based on the traditional espadrilles that have been sold in the markets and on beaches in the Mediterranean for centuries, Soludos - the name is a mash-up of the Spanish words “salud” (cheers) and “sol” (sun) - stay true to the originals, with a few modern twists for comfort.”

One of new favorite ways to incorporate social media into an event - Instaprint.

I was recently at the Tipping Point Community Benefit (as you can see from the cute snap above!) where this super cool social element was used. Basically all you need to do is post a photo to Instagram (the two companies are not actually associated) either using a specific #hashtag (in this case it was #TPCBenefit) or checking in to the event via the geo-targeting feature - and voila, your photo automatically prints to the Instaprint stations at the event. The printers drew such a crowd and were such a unique way to socially share photo happenings at the event.

I’d even go as far to say this would be great for a wedding instead of a photo booth! Really, really cool stuff.

Whipped up this pretty little app for a Mother’s Day dinner spent with J and his family. I recently had dinner at Delarosa here in SF, which inspired the above delight.

Crostini with Burrata Cheese, Hazelnuts, & Honey

Ingredients:

French baguette

Burrata Cheese

Honey

Hazelnuts

Olive Oil

S & P

Directions:

Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch slices.

Toast the hazelnuts in a frying pan over medium-high heat, until fragrant and the skins begin to look a little roasted, about 3-5 minutes. Set aside to cool. Once they’ve cooled off a bit, use a kitchen towel to rub off the loose skins. Can’t get all the skins off? Me neither. Just rub off the loose skin that you can, and don’t sweat it if some are left on there.

Lightly brush the baguette slices with the reserved olive oil. Over medium high heat, lightly toast the baguette slices in the same frying pan, about 1-2 minutes per side (or pop them in the toaster oven, that’s what we did!). Remove from pan, and place on a large cutting board.

Now you’re ready to assemble the crostini. Spread each toast with about 1 tablespoon of the fresh burrata. Top each with a small pinch of sea salt, one grind of pepper, and the hazelnuts. Drizzle all the crostini with honey. Arrange on a platter and enjoy!

Chicken, Peach, & Goat Cheese Turnovers / Creme Brulee

Mon, 14 May 2012 09:06:28 -0700

Throw back to last spring…

Yet again, another amazing dinner that sat neglected in my drafts folder for nearly a year now!

Too delicious and adventurous not to share - din and dessert hand crafted by yours truly and mi amiga, Christina. The turnovers were such a yummy treat - don’t be afraid to mix it up depending on what fruit is in season - I’ve seen these made with pears and apples - and if you don’t fancy goat cheese try blue cheese or gorgonzola for a tangier taste. Creme Brulee is no joke - we made the decision to make it mainly based on the fact that Christina’s BF was in dental school, and owned a torch - I mean how could we not capitalize on that opportunity?

Lunch is served. That’s a pretty little sando don’t ya think? Super easy, healthy, and delish. No it doesn’t take a foodie genius to come up with this one, but just a suggestion from me to you - to mix things up at the lunch hour.

What you need:

Turkey or Chicken Breast

Havarti or Swiss Cheese

Spinach

Sliced Apple

Hummus

Greek Yogurt (low fat)

Pita Pockets

What you do:

Simply mix 1 tsp of hummus with 1 tsp of Greek yogurt in a small bowl. Then spread onboth pita halves - add turkey, cheese, sliced apple, and spinach. Bon appetit!

You Are What You Eat.

You Are What You Eat.:

Such important words to live by. Take a minute to read the below, it’s a great reminder!

eatbetterlivewell:

People often ask why I try to eat healthy most of the time because “you don’t need to lose weight” or “you’re thin- you can eat whatever you want.” The truth is, the main reason I eat the way I do is for health reasons in addition to also aiming to stay physically fit. We can’t control our genes,…
