Drive Home- Taco Bell
Well we were driving home around dinner time and what sounded good was...Taco Bell. We don't really eat here well...ever really so we decided we wanted a bean and cheese burrito and a quesadilla. So we got a couple bean and cheese burritos, a quesadilla and I got my gordita with beans (no meat) and we hit the road.

August 2, 2012- Leftovers
Leftovers
We had been accumulating some leftovers and my mom and I went out to lunch earlier in the day so we had a feast of lots of leftover food to make sure we didn't waste anything before we left the next day. My mom took me to a delicious Mediterranean restaurant for lunch and I got an appetizer platter with hummus, grape leaves, pita bread, baba ganoush, and some other things so I brought my leftovers for Nick to try which we ended up sharing for dinner along with some leftover gnocchi and other things. It was nice to just sit around the table.

August 1, 2012- Baked Gnocchi
Baked Gnocchi
This is a recipe from our Trader Joe's cookbook which was really simple to make. It called for gnocchi, vodka sauce, peas, bread crumbs, and parmesan cheese. You basically make a casserole of the sauce, peas, and gnocchi (which you have to cook beforehand) and top it with the bread crumb and parmesan mixture. We drizzled it with a bit of olive oil and baked it and it was really quite yummy. We will definitely make this again.

Stir Fry veggies and Tofu with Homemade Teriyaki Sauce- Vegan
We wanted some good old fashion stir fry and I had a recipe for homemade teriyaki sauce from Nick's mom so we decided to make it for my mom because she loves teriyaki sauce. And she really loved this. We had lots of veggies like broccoli, carrots, zucchini, and snap peas. Nick and I had tofu and my mom and Maile had chicken with theirs. It was a yummy healthy and vegan dinner! For dessert we made salted caramel and chocolate shortbread. It was good but in my opinion was heavy on the orange zest.

Z Pizza- Yum!
One of our favorite pizza places down south is called Z Pizza. I know more pizza but this pizza was so delicious. It had fresh ricotta, artichokes, garlic, parmesan, and mozzarella. It was such a delicious pizza! Yum! And very different from our easy to make TJ's pizza.

Homemade Cheese Pizza
This is something we have made quite often. It is simple and easy to make and doesn't require a lot of ingredients. You only need Trader Joe's pizza dough, a jar of pizza sauce, and some cheese. It's as simple as that! We knew we were going on the road and this pizza is delicious cold or at room temp and gives plenty of leftovers so we made it for leftovers on the road.
