Yes, you guessed it right. Some place beachy and sunny is awaiting me. I am getting ready to get out of the house to spend the weekend with some of my girlfriends in sunny San Diego. Far far away enough from the rainy cold Seattle.

And I leave you with one of my favorite comfort foods, with all of my favorite vegetables. It is a quick make to put on your dinner table and no one will complain. It is vegetarian, vegan and gluten free.
