Hi everyone! In my cooking era🐒😼🤠

Homemade eggplant parm!!!! Our kind family friends gave us a ton of produce and what better way to kick off a cozy season transition?????

I put a shit ton of cheese in this dish (rip my lactose intolerance) but every layer is fried breaded eggplant, mozzerella, white cheddar, parm, and yellow cheddar! 5 layers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sauce was an amazing puttanesca I got from HomeGoods!

The cheese pulls were so good and I think I did so good on flavor and pulling the dish together!!!!

9/10!

Lobster rolls from my recent trip to Seattle!!!!!!!!!

I did not know that lobster roll meat was cold idk why but I assumed it would be warm? Was told that the warmth comes from the toasty buttery bread roll that it sits on top of though so now I know!!!!! Super super fresh seafood (ofc!!!) and the flavors were just so good and buttery and soft!

Also they serve it with a pickle which also surprised me but it went really good with the roll.

Side of clam chowder which was also so dang good!

8/10!

i went to an amish town and ate at a resturant, girl. girl! the only veggietarian option was grilled cheese and i’m particular about my cheeses, but this was the best grilled cheese ever. just american cheese but the BREAD!!!! it was so delectable, i wish everyone could try it. i also got glazed carrots, yum, and fries bc i’m basic and love fries. and guess what. the fries were so good, the whole thing 10/10

a chocolate martini and baked brie!

my mom loves chocolate martinis and said they taste like chocolate milk, so imagine my surprise when all i tasted was alcohol. i’ve learned i am not a hard liquor girl and my brother had to finish the drink for me, he would rate it a 10/10

the baked brie had honey on top with toasted almonds and it was the most delectable treat. i don’t have the words!! 9/10

HOMEMADE TOMATO BASIL SOUP AND GRILLED CHEESE

I hosted a bbq a couple weeks ago and had all these leftover tomatoes that didn’t get used for burgers so I made soup!!! Its been rainy where I live which made this the perfect comfort meal😌

To be honest, I was worried about making the soup bc I didn’t have an immersion blender, but I went ahead and just let all the veggies cool after charring them in the oven and threw it into a regular blender! Worked just as well!!!!!!!!!!

I THOUGHT IT TURNED OUT SO GOOD I AM SO SO SO PROUD OF MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!! Perfect thickness and flavor without being too tangy!

Grilled cheese was crisp crisp, provolone and cheddar combo!!!!

10/10 I am proud◡̈

My first time ever eating meatloaf!

I am not white, this is a pretty foreign meal to me. Jk but I seriously have never had it.

SO GOOD. The meat was moist and seasoned so good! I slapped some ketchup on there and holy shittttt. Yup.

Side of rice and brussel sprouts - I usually eat my brussel sprouts charred with like onion and garlic and these didn’t have either but still yummy!!!

8/10!

This may be the silliest, most unaesthetic photo I have posted on this blog🙈🤪👹

A lil glimpse of my lunch today!!!

Good ol burger patty with some melted cheddar cheese, avocado slices with seasalt and pepper, some yellow bell pepper, and some sour cream & onion lays🥴💅🏼❣️❤️🤝🏼

Super light and healthy (minus the chips but also balance is key and u should never restrict urselves), great meal to kick off the springtime. I was pleased!!!!

8.8/10!!!

this has been my breakfast for the past few weeks

i got non fat yogurt and i cried the first time i tried it bc it was NOT GOOD but then i got used to the flavor (yeasty if u will) and now i don’t mind it. i add lavender honey for some natural sweetness and some raisin bran, i thought i would hate the raisins but the texture is delicious. 8/10

i made these chocolate almond butter oat bars, unfortunately the first time i made them i messed up the recipe but it was still good. i crave these at every moment. absolutely delicious and dare i say 10/10 would recommend. recipe: https://www.thecookingfoodie.com/recipe/NoBake-Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Oatmeal-Bars-Recipe

perhaps this is the best part of my day

i’ve been eyeing these chocolate orange jewels for weeks now, and yesterday i thought why not!! they look so good. bad news :/ the orange to chocolate ratio isn’t good, so the orange marmalade is too strong. i’m not sure why i thought i would like these, i’ve never been a big fan of chocolate and orange. i don’t think i like it :/ and now i’ve bought a whole bunch!

6/10

Yall I went to dinner last night and was feeling bold so we ordered 2 appetizers and my life was CHANGED.

First pic is sourdough bread that the restaurant makes with an herb compound butter. The butter u guys??!!! So soft and whipped and flavorful and omfg. No words.

Second pic was burrata and pesto with “Broccoli pesto, Calabrian chiles, white bean conserva & almond sunflower seeds” (thank you Google for letting me copy it off the website).

I have one word to say and it’s DAMN. The pesto was perfect??!! I’ve never had pesto like that in my life. Airy and light and BURSTS of flavor. Perfectly garlicky and pesto-y without being overpowering. And the balance of the burrata freshness?? I’m sick. Layering all that on the bread was an out of body experience. I’ve never felt more passionate about a food review.

MY FIRST 10/10! (I think).

Alexa, play Banana Pancakes by Jack Johnson😌

Holy shit idk what was in the air with these but these were, hands down, the best banana pancakes I’ve ever eaten in my 22 years of living.

The like pancake itself???? Fire as fuck it was dense and moist and thick and mmmmm.

The banana??? So good! Glazed and browned and sugared and complimented so well! Not too sweet, not too bland.

9/10 !!!!!!

8/10 SO GOOD

a wood-chipless caesar salad<3

normally i eat my caesar salads w plant based chicken nuggets for extra protein, but the brand i buy has been recalled bc there were wood chips in the nuggets. the caesar salad is GROSS by itself. maybe bc it’s a prepackaged salad?

regardless, it’s disgusting. i didn’t finish 0/10

a marshmallow cherry cobbler that someone at my work made

i love cherries in any form and this is really tasty, but there’s an element missing. the sweetness from the marshmallows (which are toasted to perfection) doesn’t work that well with the sweetness of the cherries. both flavors are powerful and while the dish is yummy, it’s not the best thing ever.

i wouldn’t eat it again but i’m glad i tried it 6/10

[mesieats]

quesadillas from a local taco place

i went on a date w this guy awhile ago and he got these (but he didn’t finish them) and then later on i had a friend who ordered these (mixed reviews)

i asked for guac on the side and they forgot, the quesadillas are missing something–so dry, and the filling was good (beans, veggies, cheese) but the dryness took away from the flavor

4/10 wouldn’t order again

my roommate bought some uncrustable pb&j sandwiches so i took one for lunch, and i’ve had these before but it’s been forever

one of the best creations, the peanut butter doesn’t get stuck to the roof of ur mouth and usually i’m a red raspberry person but grape jelly is delicious with the peanut butter. and the bread oooooo the soft bread is to die for, perfect texture and consistency. a true 10/10

Loaded Mac and Cheese w pulled pork and jalapenos!

Super good in the moment - baked well and there were crispy edges which I LOVE in a mac and cheese.

Unfortunately did not sit right w me when I got home because it sat in my stomach like a rock and then I threw up🤪 potential was there but unfortunately:/

Tummy issue brought it down 5 points to a solid 5/10
