weekly eats (from the past month)

Coffee shop chewy ginger cookies that are so so spicy, I want to cry tears of happiness. 

Lots of carrot-parsnip baked veggie burgers, because they’re healthy and they taste good. 

Steak salad with blue cheese, tomatoes, red onion and balsamic vinaigrette - killer “wishful-thinking-it’s-summer” salad!

Peanut butter on toast. Like, for breakfast and dinner. In the same day. #studentlife #lazyasfuq

Avocado, simply halved and drizzled with soy sauce or a scoop of gochujang—perfection is best left unmodified. Can I mention also that these were perfect-as-fuq avocados? Which was a surprise because they were so soft, I thought they’d be overripe and brown and ugly inside. Nope. Just the bright green of heaven’s lawn.

baking blog

trying to think of a good name for the things I've come up with - 

this week, I had leftover sourdough from Bien Cuit, some goat cheese from Murray's and picked up a container of blackberries on sale from Whole Foods (my mecca) - I whipped up a honey, goat cheese and blackberry sourdough bread pudding - really exciting - then I ate half of it for dinner.

recipes are going to be pretty boring this week, I think. I'm making a salad beast tonight (baby spinach, red pepper, red onion, brown rice, black beans, tomato, maybe avocado, goddess dressing), overnight oats in the morning tomorrow, veggie quesadilla (red onion, red pepper, black beans, cheese) for lunch, and chicken breast with sweet potato and mixed veggies for dinner. I don't plan much farther than that - chicken soup will probably make its way onto the list, as will a lot of green smoothies. I'm trying to keep it simple.
