That moment when you go from “kind of hungry” to “raving hangry lunatic”?
Been there.
I feel like we should talk about my noodle problem.
It’s kind of an elephant-in-the-room, bull-in-a-china-shop, peanut-sauce-all-over-my-face-and-why-didn’t-anyone-tell-me situation.
So, fairly obvious.
The fresh flavors of summer get to shine in this kale salad with peaches, corn, and basil-honey vinaigrette.
Kale salads may be a dime a dozen around here, but it’s not exactly everyday that the.boy requests to have the leftovers for lunch.
In fact, that would be more of a “when pigs fly” or “when hell freezes over” kind of situation, bribe cajole force-feed try as though I might.
Not all pasta salads have to be mayo-drenched! This Mediterranean tortellini salad with red wine vinaigrette is full of fresh veggies and bright flavors…perfect after spending a day in the sun.
This is my attempt to try not being the girl who brings the food with weird ingredients to every family gathering.
A for effort?
Even tofu-skeptics will love this intensely flavorful red curry tofu with coconut chile carrots and bok choy.
Everyone’s a comedian when you’re a vegetarian at a barbecue.
Because yes, getting offered a hamburger twenty two times is HYSTERICAL.
Really, it gets more and more so each time.
#NOT.
1. Somehow I can never make it to work before 9:30 but tell me to go to a farmer’s market 60 blocks downtown in search of squash blossoms before 8AM? And I will be out that door by 7:30. On the dot. Puzzling.
2. I suspect this has something to do with the fact that neon cauliflower makes me feel more alive than fluorescent cells do. But that’s just a guess.
