Baked burrito enchilada.

Black beans, tomatoes, onions, corn and rice with "Mexican" spices. It became vegetarian because, well, I don't have any meat. ;)

Tortilla spread with a little cream cheese, cheddar-jack and then the filling.

All rolled up with enchilada sauce and cheese.

Baked. Yums. Like, really yums. I have to say, this was pretty tasty.

I had half of one of these + a little salad + Colts vs. Jaguars game = a great Sunday. Go Colts!

Veggie quesadillas.

Tortilla, cheddar jack cheese, diced tomatoes, red onion, black beans, corn, mushroom and cilantro.

I made about 6 of these, had one for dinner, set one aside for later this week, and froze the rest! :)

Curry Up Now Indian buritto with my cilantro lime sauce.

I couldn't get through this veggie burrito at Off The Grid last night so I had it today for lunch with my homemade cilantro lime sauce. It was excellent! :) I must say though, I had the chicken curry burrito last week and preferred that one.

More yummy treats from Off The Grid, Fort Mason Center, SF.

Duck taco from Kung Fu Tacos. The duck was cooked nicely and quite tasty, but there wasn't even filling for the double tortillas.

My half of a crazy hot dot. The dog was actually really yummy and the dressings were, too.

Ahi tuna slider. This was just okay.

Creme brulee cart. This was the Mexican chocolate. When you broke the brulee, it was just like a chocolate mousse! Don't get me wrong, I actually prefer that, because I'm not the biggest on creamy custard, but that's creme brulee. Whatever it was, it was delicious. :)

Gobba Gobba Hey whoopie pies! To be honest, they aren't my favorite whoopie pies, but the guys there are rad and they do some interesting flavor combinations.

Pre-sotball brunch at Namu, Inner Richmond, SF.

Mimosas courtesy of Namu--thanks so much, guys! Their mimosas are fabulous--a nice amount of pulp, and not super cheap bubbly. ;)

Pickles also courtesy of Namu. Yummy.

Kimchi and pancetta fried rice.

Perfectly cooked sunny side up egg. Great combo of kimchi and pancetta. To be honest though, I thought it would be more flavorful from the look of it. It was a bit light, but still very nice--a really nice amount of fatty richness throughout the rice.

Korean breakfast burrito.

Beautiful. Again though, a bit of a tease! From the looks of it, I was expecting lots of big flavors, some spice, etc, but this was very light. Not bland necessarily, but definitely not the flavors you're expecting when you look at it. Also, the crispiness was a bit in-between--it wasn't a chimichanga (which would have been GREAT), but it wasn't a soft burrito.

Burger with kimchi relish. I really like how they asked if we were sharing and then cut it into 3 parts for us!

A good burger, not super great fries. The burger was nicely cooked and flavorful, but there needed to be more relish! I had maybe one good bite with relish and that bite was great, but then the rest were a bit sadder. Haha. Solid burger though.

This was a great brunch. I would definitely recommend it. I'd probably even recommend brunch over dinner at Namu. Nice and quiet, too, with no lines.

So I went to brunch with my friend Joe and our friend Alan. Joe doesn't think SF has that great of a food scene and I've taken it upon myself to show him otherwise. he really enjoyed Namu's brunch--even more than I did. That and I took him to Sai Jai Thai a few weeks ago and he liked that a ton, too! I'll have him raving about SF food in no time! ;) Haha. Thanks for the great brunch, Joe! :)

Lettuce wrap tacos, four ways.

Left to right: Fish, grilled veggies, chorizo & poato, shredded beef.

These were all taco fillings I got to-go from Tacolicious, but since I don't like tortillas, I decided to eat them with romaine leaves! This was very Korean of me, where it's called ssam (쌈). So so great! I don't get the appeal of tortillas and I feel bad saying that, but this is healthier and adds a nice crispness, while not taking away from the flavorful filling!

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. :)

Alexa's birthday BBQ at Artillery, Mission, SF.

Backyard BBQ birthday party at Artillery AG!

The fabulous birthday girl miss Alexa with Aldo! I adore the crew at Artillery!

Lots of amazing food! Great guacamole, pico de gallo, BBQ meats, chips, donut holes, etc! :)

Nachos at Nick's Crispy Tacos, Russian Hill, SF.

We were starving after the scavenger hunt so Nick's it was! Nick's chips are good, but this wasn't awesome. It just didn't have much flavor--even after I drenched it in salsa! I should have stuck with their taco salad! :(

The nachos at The Taco Shop at Underdog's looked ammmazing last time I was there though!

Weird Fish, Mission, SF.

Photo from fryhole, posted by Kira S. on Yelp.

I didn't have my camera with me because I went for a run before, but my friend Judith and I decided to try Weird Fish after some hardcore thrift shopping in the Mission!

We each got a fish taco with mango salsa and then we shared the mashed yams with coconut milk, and an order of fries! The yams were super interesting. They weren't my favorite, and were kind of the same consistency as pumpkin pie. I don't like my food that pureed. The fries looked awesome, but weren't crispy enough for me--a bit soggy. The taco was nice though!

The space itself is so so cute. I love it there. It's the perfect size for a little spot in the Mission, the prices are right and the service was great. :)

Pre-movie dinner at Westfield, Downtown, SF.

Burrito with salad and chips from Andale Mexican! This was a pretty good burrito and I was very impressed with them for putting chunks of fresh avocado in the side salad.

Spicy tuna bowl from Kichi Grill. Judith said this was good, but very spicy!

For a food court, Westfield is actually quite nice. They have a good variety and most of the places give large portions. It's a nice place to go downtown if you can't decide on something, or are looking for a quick bite--especially before a movie. :)

Fiesta scramble with bacon blue cheese guacamole.

Eggs (mixed with a little milk, to add fluff), black beans, corn, tomato, red onion, cilantro.

Add a bit of Tapatio, sour cream and my bacon blue cheese guacamole. Yums!

Taco salad with bacon blue cheese guacamole.

Simple mixture of black beans and corn.

Rice, fried with a little taco seasoning.

Layer of romaine, rice, corn & black beans, sour cream and blue cheese guacamole from yesterday, cilantro. Pretty darn tasty. :)

Bacon blue cheese guacamole.

3 ripe avocados. I just mashed these with forks.. I don't like to mix these and the other ingredients together because then the tomatoes get mushy.

One Roma tomato, a quarter of a small red onion, a handful of cilantro and one jalapeno pepper, lime juice, black pepper and salt.

Blue cheeeeeese!

Baaaacon!

This was inspired by the sage, blue cheese, bacon guacamole at Lopez Southwestern Kitchen. It was listed as chef Michel Symon's favorite dish on The Best Thing I Ever Ate. I basically made guacamole just the way I normally make it (with lots of cilantro and lime, and some heat) and then added a good amount of bacon and blue cheese. I liked it, but I'd like to try it with goat cheese, too. :)

I'm going to use this in a taco salad tonight and then also for a Mexican scramble tomorrow!

Cha Cha Cha, Upper Haight, SF.

Shredded chicken quesadilla! I had never had shredded meat in a quesadilla before and it was excellent! It made it more burrito-like and yummmy!

Steak sandwich. Also, very nice. I hadn't had steak in a sandwich in a really, really long time. Yummy and the bread was so nice, too! So crucial for a great sandwich. :) The potatoes were fine, but the aioli they gave us was just a bit eh.

Kat and I went running at Golden Gate Park and then were starved! We decided to hit up the Haight--which I, sadly, don't know too well! Cha Cha Cha was the busiest place on the block, so we went there. Fun lunch spot and very different from the Mission location! The food was great though. :)

Best kept secret brunch: Red Door Cafe, Lower Pacific Heights, SF.

A special half order of the French toast! The French toast is their most popular dish, so we had to try it! I don't normally loooove French toast from restaurants, but this was divine. It's cut into little strips, which is great and the bread they use is sooo amazing! The toasted banana and maple syrup really completed the yummy eggy bread! Haha.

The Cuban quesadilla! This was soo sooo yummy. Their pico de gallo is amazing and the tortillas are special--very green and delicious.

Open-faced croissant with brie, ham, tomatoes, basil, capers, yummy, yummy, and yummy. There was a really nice vinaigrette sauce with it, too. Lovely dish.

I can't believe I didn't know about this place until now! It's just up the street from me and it doesn't have a load of Yelp reviews (surprisingly enough!), but apparently the weekend wait can me up to 2 hours! This is definitely my new favorite brunch spot. The food is spectacular and I didn't walk out feeling like I was going to have a heart attack or slip into a food coma. I was just very happy! :)

Korean kalbi and kalbi taco BBQ at my brother's place, LA.

So many amazing plants in LA! It seems like every yard has fruit trees! So great.

Big, bright, beautiful flowers were everywhere, too. :) I don't think I could stand having that nice of weather all the time, but the flowers sure do make you smile.

My brother's awesome backyard, where we had a Korean BBQ with the wedding party.

Table setting. :)

Daddy, manning the grill. :) My mom and dad are too funny--they made the kalbi in Spokane, with my aunt, froze it and flew it down for this BBQ. My parents rock. :)

Korean taco set up: salad mixed with sesame-ginger dressing, cilantro, sesame salsa, sesame seeds. My brother put this together and it was excellent! I guess for the sesame salsa you just mix salsa with sesame oil--easy!

A light yummy salad one of the bridesmaids brought.

상추 traditional lettuce wrap for the kalbi, with red pepper paste sauce.

Yummy!

My taco was amazing. Although, I don't like tortillas.. Hahah. So the next one I had was sans-tortilla, but with some rice, more like a naked burrito. It was scrumptious. I'm definitely going to make these at home. :)
