A Shallot, Citrus Salmon Salad with Seasonal Toppings
September 16, 2015

It's a salmon salad...on the crispier side! This salad is super flexible(as are most salads!), and you can choose to cook the salmon however you like - I've pan-fried and baked (-it really just literally depends on the weather-), but either way, it's simple and delicious.

An "Autumn Affair" - Rooftop Dinner Party Celebrating the Fall Season
March 21, 2015

Take us back to this magical night....

 

Spring is upon us, but we wanted to take you guys down memory lane to our first event to kick-off our new project next season! Salt and Cinnamon collaborated with the talented Chef Eddie Aguilera to celebrate the Autumn Harvest on his rooftop by candle light. We set the table for twelve lovely guests overlooking a beautiful coastal city with salt sea breeze filling the air at first. As the food was cooking, notes of cinnamon, nutmeg and garlic floated out the kitchen window and to our eagerly awaiting guests...we'll let the pictures beautifully captured by Roxy Rodriguez tell the rest of the story...

Warm Quinoa Cereal
March 8, 2015

Craving cereal for breakfast...but it's cold outside....so want something warm...but not oatmeal. So...try a hot quinoa cereal! You can make it with whatever toppings you like or whatever you have at home. Decided to make an Apple Cinnamon flavor. Great for something different for breakfast or a post workout snack. AND this is protein-rich, gluten and dairy-free and easily vegan by subbing the honey. Say whhaaaaaa?....
