i've been working from home since 2017, and in that time i've learned to prepare many quick lunches for myself, usually consisting of odds and ends in the fridge or that i've prepped beforehand for this exact occasion. my favorite lunch is one where i simply pull the prepared ingredients out of the fridge and … Continue reading a few good sauces

It's more of a life hack that has fed me many times when I thought I could not go on (without some food). If I don't have any fresh produce or I am in dire … Continue reading Refried Bean Quesadillas
I went on a two-mile walk this morning around Lake Merritt, and when I returned home, I felt the need to treat myself (healthy style).
