Creamy tomato sauce pasta with asparagus and bell peppers.

More asparagus and bell peppers! This time over pasta with a nice garlicy tomato sauce that I made with tomatoes, onion, salt, pepper, parmesan cheese, garlic, and a little bit of milk. I purposefully had not that much sauce, but a whole lot of veggies!

Asparagus and bell pepper stir fry with pineapple sausage and orange sauce.

Still using my asparagus and red, orange and yellow bell pepper from Costco. I decided to add my pineapple sausage, also from Costco, into this mix! I stir-fried everything and then added an orange sauce with grated orange peel!

Over brown & white rice. I just mix 1 cup of brown rice and one cup of white rice when I put it into the rice cooker. Mmmmmmm!

Salmon, asparagus and bell peppers in a lemony honey mustard marinade.

Lemon juice, lemon peel, garlic, honey, mustard, crack black pepper.

I got a big bag of red, yellow and orange bell peppers and asparagus from Costco and I've been thinking of different things to do with them. I marinated the veggies and a piece of salmon in this lemon concoction and stuck it all in the oven. Out came this beauty! :) It was really yummy--it had been far too long since I had salmon! :)

Post Bake Sale, pre Inception sushi at Kyoto Sushi, Van Ness, SF.

Missooooo.

Cherry Blossom roll - tuna over salmon with avocado roll.

Barracuda - spicy hamachi, green onions, tempura roll.

Poki roll - cold seaweed salad over spicy tuna roll.

Sunset roll - Parmesan cheese, garlic sauce and salmon baked over California roll.

Everything was really good. I really like this place. It had been too long since I was there. The service isn't the quickest, but the food is good and reasonably priced. It was perfect because we had an hour to kill before seeing Inception at AMC Van Ness!

Kingdom Cake mini cupcakes at Indie Mart, Thee Parkside, Potrero Hill, SF.

Peanut butter banana and blueberry basil! They were both delicious! I didn't really taste the basil, but they were both yums!

We got these while I was on break from my Bake Sale at Indie Mart! Thanks for the amazing treats, Franklin!

Burrito from the Haight, SF.

I was starving while running the Bake Sale and Chris was coming later to help so I had him bring me a veggie burrito! After not eating all morning, but being surrounded by baked goods, this was pretty great. :)

Yummy treats at the Nooworks New Boutique Launch, Mission, SF.

Amazing little cupcakes and tons of beers, of course, at the Nooworks New Store Opening! I met so many fabulous people here!

This is my favorite photo from the evening. It was such a fun party and the space looks absolutely amazing! My article will go up next week, but for now, here are my event photos on SF Station!

Force Field Art & Ice Cream Social at Four Barrel, Mission, SF.

Four Barrel is so amazing. :) WE LOVE.

I got there too late for the free Humphry Slocombe, sadly, but it looks like it was a HUGE success! I promoted it a ton on SFStation, so I only hope that helped! :)

The brilliant artwork of Maxwell Holyoke-Hirsch (SF now NYC)! I love his work.

SO much fun! :)


Fresh salad with couscous and pineapple sausage.

Romaine, pearl couscous, goat cheese, pineapple sausage, pico de gallo. I needed something fresh and light after baking! :)
