new year, new food

Welcome to our family food blog. The name was inspired by Andres' love of paella and its golden ingredient. Here we hope to share the meals we make our lives around with far flung family members, and to encourage and inspire one another with examples of tasty, healthy food choices.


To start us off, here's a simple pasta Andres whipped up after William's shower last night. It's not very true to locavore standards, but it was prepared with staples we had on hand (sauce, onions, canned tomatoes), leftovers from our holiday guests (Mexican green peppers from Trader Joe's, Kalmata olives in the jar), and gifts we received earlier this fall (artichoke hearts). Fettucine with tomato sauce and veggies, garnished with parsley and pecorino: Yum!
