Long days. Long week. Can I get a TGIF? There’s something about snowy, cold days that make days drag on for me. And I feel like bring out the worst in people. I’ve had more unpleasant interactions with people in the last few days than I care to recount — can we all just gather around a steaming hot bowl of tomato soup, maybe with a side of grilled cheese, and just forget our troubles? Tomato soup is a food I just can’t…
Read moreWhen I’m brunching or even just checking out brunch pictures on Instagram, I’m irrationally jealous of bagels and lox. I normally prefer sweet brunches (with a side of salty potatoes, please) but there’s something about bagels, cream cheese, and a variety of toppings (like lettuce!) that just intrigues me to no end. When I tasted Blue Diamond’s Smokehouse almonds, I knew they’d be a great substitute for lox when…
Read moreI go back and forth with Josh almost every week about how he needs to contribute to the meal plan, and every week he claims he has no idea what kinds of foods can be made vegetarian. Let’s ignore the fact that there’s a meat substitute for almost literally every kind of meat in the world and focus on the fact that he has eaten a predominately vegetarian diet for years. Let me also point out that vegetarian versions of his favorite…

Especially if you’re covering it in ice cream. It’s definitely healthier than the standard cookie skillet, but I can’t manage to actually call it healthy. Check those chocolate chunks, yo — too many chippies to be health…
Read moreaka my lunch this week. I”m so lazy, that I almost titled my post that. There’s not much to say about this, maybe because right now my mouth is full of marked down grocery store paczkis, but that’s besides the point. I’m on this never ending quest to eat more vegetables (and fruit, but this recipe isn’t really any improvement there. And the paczkis prob aren’t helping, either), and yet I always end up with a…
Read moreOh, you were expecting Thanksgiving foods so close to Thanksgiving? Ehhh, I gave you two kinds of gravy and an appetizer, what more could I possible have came up with? Truth is, I have a hard time making holiday foods several weeks before the holiday. I’ll be making a full Thanksgiving meal (minus the turkey, obvs) next week, eating left overs for a solid 8 days after, and that’s all enough for me. This post was inspired by this…
