yummm
When it comes to cooking..the majority of the time i need inspiration..i can't read a single cookbook unless it has pretty pictures (hence Ina Garten..is my fav) the other night at one of the Rikshaw Trunk Shows, Elizabeth came in and introduced herself and told me she had a blog so i told her to send me a link...its called Sophisticated Pie it is filled with delicious images and easy to understand recipes for the cook-challenged, that would be me.
this would be a cauliflower fennel and parmesan cake...savory delish !
vegetable pot pie...umm how delish and cozy does this look!
i adore her organized meatless monday recipes.

local sweetness
if you are in marin, you must pop into rustic bakery...you have probably seen their flatbread crackers in whole foods....the bakery has a yummy lunch; soups, salads, and sweets..like meyer lemon shortbread cookies, or chocolate chunk cookies...delish!
i also bought some of these unbelievable cc made caramels at Rustic..beautifully packaged and so yummm...they are doing caramel demo's in the bay area at bi-rite, marin country mart, and dean and deluca...perfect valentines day treat!

which one are you?
we are keeping it short and simple this week...
are you a sweet or savory gal?
and i am only letting you pick one!
think of it this way..what if chocolate and cake and caramel were to be extinct..or what if cheese, french fries and pizza vanished?
which one would make you more crushed?
hi, aren't i the most darling cake i ever did see..
this image makes my mouth water...i am savory all the way baby! in fact my whole family is a savory family..maybe your tastebuds are genetic? who's with me?!

summer entertaining
all images from here and domino
i loved some of her tips for entertaining..and from the looks of her house, designed by Nate Berkus, you could probably eat cereal and feel special..
entertaining tips:
1. create a playlist..something upbeat for cocktails and something mellow for dinner..
2. properly equip your guest bathroom: fresh hand towels, scented candle, soap, (a discreetly placed plunger will help avoid any embarrassing situations!)
3. set the table the night before
4. have fun..its a party for crying out loud!
fried zucchini chips! recipe found here

ny livin
so here is the deal...i have sort of become a food snob after living in the bay area for a good chunk of my life, in my opinion its unbeatable..is it weird that i won't eat sushi unless i am in CA?
here is why i heart ny (some food and other randomness):
convenience: every evening after a long hot day of walking and standing on my feet all day..i could just jump out on the street and viola..red mango frozen yogurt deliciousness with fresh toppings and not all that bad for me! (not in bay area)
image from here
people watching: i wouldn't call it staring like they do in l.a. but just noticing..at cafe habana, eating yummy cuban food, while checking out all the interesting people and i love the way the waitress kept calling me "momma"...."hi momma, what can i get for you? have a great day momma"
image from here
pedicures: ok ny has got us bay area mani-pedi's beat. they know how to rub the knots out, use yummy salt scrub, and i actually did pay extra for longer massage..they have it down.
great service here: at kingswood, a restaurant in the west village, delish australian menu and the cute australian accent waiter --was a sweet treat!

fearless style: everyone has their own take on trend style ect..i was looking around and this one gal literally was rockin a pair of orthopedic sandals and looked completely cool. i was inspired.

kombucha benefits the following:
digestion, immune system, metabolism, appetite control--(this is really true), weight control, liver functions, body alkalinity, anti aging, healthy skin and hair....ALL NATURALLY..what the heck give it a try!
