Lunch

Home to the Hummus

Good afternoon!

How’s your Friday going?! I ran errands this morning and drank a lovely soy chai latte before finally giving into my hummus wrap addiction for lunch.

Ahhh reminds me of home! 🙂 Anna, my yoga instructor and friend, has been telling me that I HAVE to try East West Cafe for lunch sometime. We were lamenting over lack of hummus in wine country (she’s a vegan) and how we miss our dear hummus wraps from the east coast. Enter East West Cafe. This place is amazing! EVERYTHING on the menu looked fabulous and I would be lying if I said I didn’t really want to go back for dinner tonight..or breakfast tomorrow! They have blue corn pancakes! And tofu scramble! It’s amazing!

Okay. Calming down now. I had a divine (and VERY messy) hummus and avocado whole wheat wrap. It sort of got everywhere but was worth it…yum. Must go back asap.

Going to buckle down and write for a few hours now….in the mood to go dancing tonight. We shall seeee!

That looks like a delicious sandwich!

I’m still in shock by the lack of hummus in your new town. How is this possible?! I don’t think I could survive a week without hummus, seriously. I put it on everything!
Hummus + hot sauce = Happiness

A big cheer for hummus! I actually haven’t had it in ages, but it’s a usual staple for me during school months. 😀 The wrap looks fabulous!

I don’t even see hummus in that wrap…just avocado, which is almost just as good!

I hope you get to Eat Live DANCE tonight!!!

What a beautiful looking wrap! I’m surprised by your lack of hummus up there?

how is it possible that you eat a meal out like every day? do you have a hidden stash of money or inheritance somewhere??

Yes! I have a secret stash of money that I stole from the bank under my mattress so that I can afford a $6 hummus pita. Shhhh

Hey Jenna!

I’ve been following your blog for a few months now (first time commenting though) and I must say, your yummy sandwiches are so inspiring! You made me try avocado and acorn squash, can you believe I’ve nerver had them before? I also started an introductory Ashtanga Yoga class this week, thanks to you! By the way, I’m french canadian (living in Montreal) so I’m sorry if my english isn’t perfect…

I just wanted to say that your blog had a major impact on my life. I didn’t have a good life balance (training way too much and focusing on eating healthy ALL THE TIME). Reading your posts (I went through almost all your archives… talking about obsessing, lol!) made me realize that food and training are made to have fun. You have inspired me so much that I started blogging too to try and help french readers find a similar inspiration. If you want to practice your french, feel free to stop by my blog (you’re in my blogroll, I hope you don’t mind)!

Thanks again Jenna! If I go back to San Francisco someday, I hope we can meet over a good meal or a London Fog! Have a nice day!

That place sounds so good. I don’t know what I would do with myself if I had all of the gourmet places to eat like you do. So fantastic!

Have you tried the Sabra hummus brand? It is my ABSOLUTE favorite!! They have so many amazing flavors, especially the sundried tomatoe 🙂

Um, please go and get the blue corn pancakes tomorrow. I want to taste them through the computer screeen 😀
Glad you got to have a taste of home!

Must say, hummus + avocado might be the best combo since PB + J!

Looks Yummy! I always wanted to try East West Cafe next to after going to the Rialto Theatres…but somehow we always wind up eating at Mary’s Pizza! Future Mother-in-Law (MIL) swears by the Mediterranean Plate! =0)

Lack of hummus in the wine country… huh? I grew up there and have never had any trouble finding any when going back to visit, so I’m a bit confused by this!
