Habichuelas con calabaza- taste of the islands!

Here's an oldie but goodie. Habichuelas con calabaza. Butternut squash is straight from the organic farm, the habichuelas straight from Mission street. yum!

Hazelnut Cilantro Pesto


I wanted to try something different so I combined cilantro with hazelnuts to make a pesto since I didn't have pine nuts in la cocina. The red sprinkles are cayenne. Haven't decided if it'll go on pasta or fish. 

What's good?

carrots * lettuce* routabega * kale* kiwi * y mas

fennel citrus salad

Beets y Broccoli

Breakfast: smoothie with blueberries and beets snuck in there and broccoli with eggs.

Veggie Cocina is back !

Veggie cocina-with meat-eating-tendencies is back in full effect! We have relocated to a new location and there's pie-making ,veggie n eggs, salads and overall good and natural eating times around here and I can't wait to share. This week the box of fruits and veggies went quick because there were lots of folks hanging out en la cocina . Stay in touch for updates.

green peppers stuffed with frijoles negros, maiz y goat cheese

organic bell pepper, onion and garlic straight from the box (with a hearty tomato that lasted from last times box).

Oh and in case you were wondering, the kale soup came out gross. I was gettin too experimental .

Kale Soup

Watch as this chopped up organic onion simmers in non-organic butter! It's sort of  East meets West, or greedy farm monopoly meets farmin for the people in a teflon pot.

Technical Difficulties

This was suppose to become a delicious apple-pear-kale-carrot juice but the juicer started tripping and juicing itself. The point of eating organic is to lessen the amount of plastic digested! Juicy weekends on pause for now.
