Azucar is a Cuban bakery in Ocean Beach, San Diego. They make amazing coffee and pastries, including a variety of scones. On the boat we have frozen peach champagne scones and blueberry scones that we can bake fresh for ourselves! You can visit azucar here: https://iloveazucar.com/
This Chana recipe is fool-proof and delicious! It tastes even better the next day as the flavors settle, so it’s ideal for the boat.

The secret to this cookie recipe is to chill the dough before baking, which makes them a perfect candidate to bring on the boat. Freezing and vacuum sealing them won’t affect them much, in fact chilling helps the dough develop flavor from the three different sugars in the recipe. The recipe comes from the cook book “Date Night In” and I always double this recipe (as you may notice in the video).

We brought a few different kinds of curry with us, these packets were purchased at 99 Ranch Market.
We make up our lasagna recipe every time - check out the video for some inspiration! Hint: I added garlic, nutmeg, and fresh herbs to the ricotta.

We made a few packets of various kinds of sautéed mushrooms, ready to go in any meal. One packet includes trumpet mushrooms and hen of the woods — we set that one aside for our Ramen dinner.

Watching our basil seedlings grow (thanks Denise!) inspired us to make homemade fresh pesto for our trip. Here’s the recipe we used.

The meatballs for our spaghetti and meatball dinner were sourced from Poma’s Italian Delicatessen in Ocean Beach. They have amazing sandwiches and are open for take-out. Check out their website: https://pomasdeli.com/
This quiche recipe was passed down through a family of French cooks. It may not be your traditional quiche, so be creative with your own recipe and the vegetables (or meat!) you have on hand. Remember the most important ingredient: love.
Quiche Recipe
Crust:
1 ½ cups flour
½ stick butter
¼ cup milk
3 tablespoons oil
salt
Mix flour and softened butter together with a pastry blender or your hands. Make a hole in the center, add the rest of the ingredients, and mix. Roll out the dough and put in a pie pan. Bake the crust at 350º for a few minutes.
Filling:
Veggies (spinach/chard, mushrooms, onion, garlic, etc. you choose!)
Spices (herbs, nutmeg, salt, pepper, etc.)
3 tablespoons creme fraiche
4 eggs, separated
¾ cups grated cheddar cheese
Saute your veggies of choice and add your spices. In a bowl, mix the veggies with the creme fraiche, egg yolks, and cheese. Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold in the egg whites. Put the filling in the pre-baked crust and bake for 20-30 minutes until the center is solid and the top is slightly browned.

Chicken made with dukkah seasoning
Supannee House of Thai is possibly the best Thai food in San Diego. It is located right around the corner from Simon’s boat on Point Loma. They grow their own vegetables and their food always tastes impossibly fresh. Some of our favorites that we brought with us on the boat are Pad Thai, Eggplant, and Kabocha Curry.

Tessa’s mom recreated this recipe from a pre-made camping meal. Check out the video to see how she puts it together!
