Polenta Fries (2)

I made the classic polenta recently, here is a fun variation of Polenta - Polenta Fries.

Pesto Panini

 

Confession from my own kitchen floor: Since Whole Foods opened a new store near by our house, we have been eating in the store a lot... Well, cut me some slack, tonight I bring you - Panini!

I used to hate cold sandwiches and hard leathery bread, however it has been a difference experience ever since I started making my hot warm paninis. I'm glad I gave it a second chance.

Veggie Cashew Fried Rice

I have been thinking of the smell when eggs meet soy sauce, (if you grew up in Asia, you will know what I'm talking about), so without a doubt, I made this irresistible fried rice right away to fix my craving. 

Strawberry Basil Salad

My lunch date: Strawberry Basil Salad. 

Lettuce Wrap

Practice makes perfection. I practiced this awesome Asian fusion delight again tonight. Whoa, just scrumptious.

Orzo Pasta Salad

My lunch date: Orzo Pasta Salad.

Longview Park

Caught the tail end of the Bluebonnets at the trail.

White Wine Mushroom Pesto Salad

Came back tonight from the hell, aka "Pilates", whew,  one piece! I couldn't feel my body at all so I called out for pesto to calm myself down.

Nova (#1 Bear)

The first week after rescuing her. It clicked the moment I looked into her eyes,
and it all makes sense now that I know we will be connected forever

Love Pig #1

Nova, female, 8 years old, mixed breed. We found her on the beach with 7 other pups when we lived on a remote island in Thailand. She was the runt, got pushed out, small enough to fit in my palm. Her whole body was covered in fleas and ticks, she was weak and struggling to breath. We didn't think she was going to make it, she had so little strength... The heat was brutal, she wouldn't move, eat, open her eyes while the other puppies were so playful, at least twice of her size and much stronger, healthier looking. All we knew was she could die at any moment. 

Portobello Mushroom Pesto Burger

 

How I love to spend my weekend; BBQing in our backyard! I'm embracing the TX summer tradition. It would only be more perfect if there was a pool, or better yet, a beach. Positive thinking, always.
