[Baldwin Park] [Fast Food] Cowboy Burger

Hungry after a long day at school, I stopped at Cowboy Burger to grab some unhealthy fast food with Entertainment Book coupon.



Cowboy Burger has 3 locations.  I went the the Baldwin Park one.  Entertainment Book has a coupon for BBQ ribs.  But this location does not have ribs.  Well, burgers will do then.  Besides the regular burger and fries, they also have Mexican food like burritos and tacos.

Mediterranean Stuffed Peppers

Another recipe from Vegetarian Times. This one didn't turn out as good as the last one. The recipe is here.



The ingredients are red bell peppers, pomegranate juice, dried figs, wild rice, yellow squash, feta cheese, and walnuts.

Spanich & Feta Cheese Spaghetti

I made a really simple spaghetti with only 4 ingredients. Fast, easy and delicious.



All you need is spinach, feta cheese, spaghetti sauce and spaghetti.  If you like, you can use substitue any green veggie, any cheese, any pasta sauce and any kind of pasta of your liking.

Cook the pasta according to the package direction.  Heat up the pasta sauce in another pot.  When the pasta's ready, mix in the pasta, spinach and cheese.  There's no real "cooking" required.  Simple, yeah?

[San Gabriel] [Taiwanese] Indian Restaurant

Dr. Park came to my side of town to visit and was in the mood for some Taiwanese food.  His first request was QQ Cafe, but I was in the mood for something different.  I suggested Indian Restaurant, the famous Taiwanese "beer house" in San Gabriel.



We arrived around 6:30pm and luckily  got the last table available.  There were at least 30 people waiting outside by the time we left.  I know this restaurant is popular, but didn't know it was THAT popular.  Most of the patrons were Chinese, but there were a few non-Asian also.

[Rosemead] [French] La Vie French Restaurant

La Vie French Restaurant
2547 San Gabriel Blvd
Rosemead, CA 91770
(626) 571-1180

La Vie is a Vietnamese owned French restaurant.  It's located in a tiny strip mall.  The restaurant doesn't have nice decoration, but it's known for their reasonable price.  I've been here once with friends before and thought the food was just alright.  My sister picked La Vie to celebrate her birthday with family because she heard good things about the restaurant from her friends.  Another chance for me to sample the food again.


Bread

The small restaurant was about half full on that Friday night.  Our waitress was polite and friendly.  French bread was served after we placed our orders.  We held off on the bread until our appetizer arrived.

Brazilian Black Bean Stew

Since I started taking my animal classes and working with them at the school farm, I decide to eat less meat. I searched for vegetarian recipes on Vegetarian Times.  The Brazilian Black Bean Stew with sweet potato and mango seemed delicious.  So I decide to give it a try.  It was indeed very delicious.  It's also very easy to make.  And one thing I love about cooking vegetarian food is the easy clean-up. 

For the recipe, I took pictures for every step to show you how easy it is to make.  My cooking style is prepare along the way and clean about as you go.  I think you save more time cooking this way.  If you don't like this way, prepare everything first before you start cooking.  Enjoy!



Here are all the ingredients.  1 onion, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 sweet potatoes, 1 red bell pepper, 1 can diced tomato, 2 cans black bean, 1 mango and cilantro.
