Food. Food. Some walking. More food. For charity! And more food. That pretty much sums up this past Tuesday for me. Definitely not complaining! I went to Taste of Old Pasadena which is a self-guided walking tour through Pasadena, California where you go to different restaurants to try their different offerings. The proceeds go to local charities. It was an awesome experience. This was only my first time attending but it definitely won't be my last! I had a blast and couldn't properly walk ...

Langostino with Garlic Herb Butter
I like lobster. But if we're keepin' it real, which I like to do, I'm not really living on a lobster style budget so it's more of an occasional treat.

Grilled Pineapple with Honey Greek Yogurt
I'm a little picky when it comes to dessert. Sometimes. Kinda. Mainly just because I love savory food so much I get too full before enjoying a good dessert.

In any case, I try to ... Read More about Grilled Pineapple with Honey Greek Yogurt
Bell Pepper Nachos
A healthier version of Nachos made with Bell Pepper, Ground Beef, Guacamole and Pico de Gallo. Paleo (use Paleo friendly cheese) and Ketogenic recipe. So if you read my Steak Salad post the other day or if you know me in real life off the interwebs then you may remember me saying something about nachos, or more specifically, about how I was trying to eat lighter in the evening but nachos were constantly calling my name with all their cheesy, avocado-y, crunchy, delicious-y glory. I've come ... Read More about Bell Pepper Nachos
Steak Salad
Truth be told, I love the idea of salads and I even like to eat them but typically as a side and not the main attraction in my life primarily because there's not usually enough flair to a salad to satisfy me. I think this is probably more a reflection of myself and my inability to create interesting salads then it is a reflection of salad itself. I sought to rectify this and make a delicious salad. I can pretty much always get down with a steak salad, with all it's meaty glory and salad-y ... Read More about Steak Salad
