#week's eats

[cakebakesus]

I always wonder what food bloggers eat when they aren’t baking or cooking all of the beautiful meals they showcase on their blog. Do they make those kinds of meals for themselves every night? Do they secretly eat fast food all the time? Do they just not eat at all because they are sick of food? (NEVER. Us food bloggers could never get sick of food! Nom nom nom nom!)

As I was pondering this question one day, I told Cory that I wanted to add a weekly post to the blog showing everyone a normal meal for us. He wasn't sure anyone wanted to see pictures of his pre-packaged kung pao chicken, even if it's insanely delicious, but I assured him we'd showcase my meals only. I always have my phone out taking pictures of my food whether I’m out or eating in. (Read: I'm always instagramming, 24/7.) So, I have decided, that every week I will post a few photos from my food journey. I can’t promise that all the food will be exciting, but hey, it’s what I’m eating!

This Week’s Eats included:

Pesto Pasta with Chicken Apple Sausage and Artichokes (homemade by me)

Coconut Lemon Bars made for my employee who left us (Hi Jen! We miss you!)

Peach Moon’s at home

Dinner out for my Dad’s birthday at Taverna Tony in Malibu (delicious appetizers like hummus, tzatziki, and baba ghanoush as well as some sort of yummy pasta dish)

Grilled Bok Choy and Salmon with Cilantro sauce as well as a Mango and Raspberry fruit salad (homemade by my momma)

Standard weekly night out at our favorite BBQ restaurant (grilled boneless/skinless chicken breast, BBQ tri tip, and a side of quinoa cooked with lemon, mint, and green onion)

... and my French inspired meal with a Brie cheese and brown sugar appetizer and the most delicious ratatouille (both homemade by me)

So much delicious food for the first week! How can I beat this deliciousness?! (Kung pao chicken?) I guess we will have to wait until next week to see!

Yours,
