the pumpkin bread from the Tartine cookbook... sugared pepitas on top... yum.

I adore breakfast foods, but can't really make breakfast each morning before running out the door to work, and I quickly tired of the portable items like granola bars, oatmeal, yogurt, so I moved on to sandwiches. I eat a lot of sandwiches for breakfast-- this week has been cream cheese and sprouts. I also love grilled cheese or soup for breakfast, when I have the time in the mornings.

My grandmother's sickly sweet chocolate icing on a vanilla cake-- cans of condensed milk are in the ingredient list. I still love it, but in moderation.

Butterscotch pudding/custard. Nothing more comforting to me.

I love vegetables in anything, but lately, I have been loving a recipe for pan glazed tofu with red curry paste and coconut milk. I also adore big bowls of curry with noodles, soba noodles with citrus peanut sauce, ratatouille, and I'm on a big roasted butternut squash kick.

Mexican Mondays. We find it hard to cook on Monday (since all of our energy went towards getting out of bed and going to work after the weekend), so we do Mexican Monday. It is usually the odds and ends of vegetables we still have in our fridge, beans, cheese, and whatever else looks good made in to a burrito.

(...and Fridays are take out fish tacos from the amazing taqueria in our neighborhood).

Coffee and cookies ice cream, homemade at my neighborhood joint, with huge chunks of oreos in it. Though, possibly tied for favorite is the ice cream sundaes of my childhood, with soft vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, and whipped cream.

Black beans-- huevos rancheros, rinsed and added to a fresh salsa with avocado and bell peppers, cooked with onions and hot sauce, in a quesadilla, really any way I can get them.

Mostly me, as my boyfriend works longer hours than I do and has a longer commute. He would much rather do the cooking though--I'm not much of a cook (pasta with things thrown in it, some fish, I'm kind of boring), but I love having the house to myself in the early evening to bake. Dessert is a much bigger event most evenings.
