Our sitter brought over her homemade salsa verde--DELICIOUS and so much better than mine. When she gets me the recipe, I will pass it on. The burritos coupled with the sauce were amazing--and easy. Heat a can of refried black beans (I use Whole Foods with roasted red jalapeno), bake a sweet potato until soft and mash with salt and cumin, and chop a handful of fresh spinach. Roll beans, potato, and spinach in a flour tortilla, wrap in foil, and heat in oven.

And one night this week, we had take out. Here is what vegan pizza looks like from a pizza shop--almost vegan, there was a little parmesan in the pesto sauce. Their crust is whole wheat and delicious--we eat the crust with honey. And they make a mean salad--candied pecans!
