Belated Breakfast, Bruschetta, and Brownies
Hello! It's been a while.
This post consists of all my cooking for a day over Winter Term. None of them are technically family recipes, but they do remind me of my family. I started my day with a spinach-feta omelet, which my mom gets every single time we go to Bella's, a diner in my hometown. I can't even imagine how many time's I've heard my mom ask for a "spinach and feta omelet, very dry, with Bella's toast."
Now, I don't like my omelets very dry like my mom does, but I do LOVE OMELETS. Eggs in general are one of my favorite foods and probably make up a good third of what I cook for myself (over easy, scrambled, egg sandwiches, huevos rancheros, and on and on...). Nothing makes me happier than good old-fashioned eggs and toast. And spinach-feta omelets are SUPER easy; you just wilt the spinach for a minute (in butter, obvi) and then throw it in a pan with eggs and feta and salt and pepper. Delicious.
Later that day, I moved on to this gorgeous bruschetta from The Pioneer Woman. I didn't have yellow grape tomatoes, unfortunately, but I made do. Is it socially acceptable to eat bruschetta for dinner? I'm not sure if tomatoes, basil, and bread count as a meal; but if that's wrong, I don't want to be right.
There's a good amount of chopping involved, but it's SO worth it because it's super easy to put together afterwards. I chopped two containers of grape tomatoes in half, cut up a baguette, and chiffonaded (is that a verb...?) a whole bunch of basil, threw the tomatoes and basil together with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and that was IT. I thought they were SO tasty.
Ariana thought so, too.
And to finish off, I made some brownies from a box. This is a TRUE family recipe - they were the first thing I ever learned to cook, and I have vivid memories of a 10-year-old me defending my brownie batter against my hungry family. Nothing has changed.
i just wanna reiterate
how much i fucking love my friends
CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP
