excuse me

this is REAL pho. ignore my last ghetto pho picture. FREAKING GOOD.

Some February creations :)

mmmmm dessert :) I made a very simple vanilla creme brulee thats healthy! i used a hungry girl recipe...all of which are semi-guilt free. I even ghetto lighted the sugar on top since i didn't have a torch.
95% home made (the 5% being the store bought pepperoni :P). Using my sister's simple whole wheat pizza dough recipe, fresh marinara, fresh mozerella, and mushrooms...you have a nice healthy dinner!
My favorite/easiest sauce ever. I use it for pasta, for bread dipping, and for my pizza.

Recipe:
3 Roma tomatoes (seeded and cut in huge chunks)
1/2 red onion dice
3-6 cloves of garlic (adjust to your taste!)
fresh basil
oregano
salt and pepper to taste

saute in a small pot on med-high heat for ~15 min. stir and smash the tomatoes occasionally. EASY!
yukon gold mashed potatoes: whipped with a little butter and salt, green beans saute'd with fried onions, and then baked fried onion breaded chicken breast. pretty much a comfort food dinner.
BLUEBERRY WAFFLES. made with whipped eggs to make them nice and fluffy. eat it with some fresh whipped cream and you're in business!

Chilango!

Delicious tacos de pollo! enjoyed in sf down at church. Its a really cute place, very homey and fresh.

5) I like making salads; so inspired by one of my favorite restaurants salads, i mixed:baby springs, feta, almonds, red onions, pistachios, olive oil, garlic, and balsamic vinegar. 4) The second is an asian breakfast my mom would make. Its pretty much like a quesadilla except instead of the quesadilla, its a pan-fried green onion pancake, and instead of cheese, you put eggs. 3)My ghetto pho. Made from pho base, rice noodles, and red onions. 2/1)Inspired by our Venezuelan neighbors, my sister made arebas (ah-ray-bas). Simple but delicious, it consists of white cornmeal and anything you want to stuff in it (black beans and cheese!).
