Summer recipes

Some food updates that I have also been posting on Facebook:
1. The dark chocolate Speculoos filled candy bar from TJs is amazing.
2. Quinoa is really good!  I tried these quinoa tacos earlier this week and they inspired me to create a quinoa taco recipe - blue corn tortillas + red quinoa + avocado citrus salsa = magic.
3. I haven't had this in a while but I've been thinking about my favorite breakfast burrito - whole wheat tortilla + fried or scrambled egg + swiss cheese + avocado + with a squirt of Sriracha.  So good!
4. Tuna salad makeover - tuna packed in olive oil (it's a lot more flavorful) + chopped kale + red onion + chopped dill pickles + served on whole grain bread.

I wish I had pictures but alas, I do not.  Maybe I'll post some when I make these dishes again.

Things That Make me Happy: Flora & Food

More food

Mmm, this place is good.  Our family went here for Father's Day (picture is off of Yelp . . . I still can't find my camera).

Fancy soda

I recently tried Dry Soda's Lavender flavor and I liked it!  It's one of those things that's a nice treat now and then.  I'm a fan of lavender tea, so it was nice to try the flavor in soda.  It's subtle, not too sweet, and refreshing.  I'll have to check out some of the other flavors: cucumber, rhubarb, and blood orange.  Fancy.
