Kale and Sausage Soup w/ Roasted Cauliflower
A while back, I made my own twist on Derek’s very favorite soup, the Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana (anyone who knows him is probably aware of his unexplainable love for Olive Garden). While my homemade twist was delish, it was chalked full of potatoes and white beans, both of which I am trying to avoid…

Build a Bowl: Mix and Match Elements for the Perfect Burrito Bowl
Burrito bowls have recently become a staple in the Gibson/Goodman diet. They are delish and the leftover components make a killer lunch. The core ingredients of my burrito bowls are: Cilantro Lime Rice (rinse rice x2, combine ingredients, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and cook approx. 20 min, until rice is…

Green Chili and Tomatillo Enchilladas
When I get cravings for food I’ve never tried, I am thankful my father raised me in the kitchen. It has armed me with a knowledge of technique and flavor, allowing me to accomplish most cooking tasks without needing a recipe to guide me. This weekend, I decided to try something a little different than…

Black Bean & Spanish Chorizo Soup
What is it about Winter that just make you want something warm and delicious? Even in San Diego, I couldn’t escape the season’s magnetic pull towards comfort food this week so I decided to try my hand at making black bean soup.

Chipotle Enchiladas
Made my first attempt at “enchiladas” this week, (I add the quotes because I’m sure these are in no way authentic…), and boy were they a hit! These are a little more smokey, a little less tomato-y than your average enchilada, and absolutely delicious paired with black beans and sautéed Mexican squash. Unfortunately I didn’t get…

My take on this camping classic is a perfect balance of hearty and healthy, with fresh local peppers, grilled chicken and roasted corn. Grilled Chicken Chili w/ Roasted Corn and Black Beans Serves: 6 hungry people (most…

Idyllwild: Ride Fast, Live Slow
Despite both being active, outdoor people, my boyfriend and I have very different backgrounds. He was raised soaking up the sun on the beach and in the desert, riding waves and conquering dusty single tracks. I, on the other hand, grew up shrouded in misty mountain clouds and low lying fog, running rooty trails and dipping my toes into glacier…

Eat the Rainbow: Summer Kebabs
Here in San Diego, we are still hanging on to Summer with our cut-off shorts and light, fresh meals. I took on cooking Sunday dinner last night for my favorite boys, and these soy ginger kebabs with grilled pineapple were a definite hit. Soy Ginger Kebabs with Grilled Pineapple Makes 12 Kebabs 3 large chicken…

Summer Chicken Lasagna
Last week, before kicking off a busy, busy week of traveling and guests and weddings, I spent a peaceful evening in North County cooking for dinner for my boyfriend and his roommate, enjoying a bottle of wine, and the sunset over the ocean. I love the pace of life up in Encinitas, the beachy suburb…

Lemongrass Chicken
Summer time grilling season is one of my favs, but burgers and BBQ can get a little mundane for me after the first few weeks of the season. To mix things up, I recently tried experimenting with a Bon Appetite recipe for Pounded Lemon Grass Chicken, adding a few variations to the recipe and pairing…
