Over the weekend, when the cold, wet drizzle refused to let up, I developed an undeniable desire to load up on starchy, al dente pasta. I couldn't just ditch my resolve to eat only nutrient-rich, wholesome fare, so I came to a compromise by preparing a healthful pasta with root vegetables. 
I'm on the hunt for a new apartment here in San Francisco. One of the things I've taken horribly for granted is my dishwasher. You'd be surprised how many places do not have one. Some even have "new, remodeled" kitchens, but no dishwasher! As you can imagine, I do a lot of cooking and plenty of entertaining, yet places with dishwashers are generally more expensive.

When I go out for Mexican food, I love to order unhealthy dishes like queso dip, nachos, or a heaping plate of carnitas. However, when I make Mexican at home, I favor light and fresh dishes like these veggie tacos.
