Telling food stories, one kitchen at a time
This is one of those salads where it’s mostly the good stuff. You know what I mean. This salad is mostly toppings and then there’s some leafy things for good measure. But, ya know, the point of this salad isn’t the leafy stuff or else, instead of Golden Beet Couscous Salad, it would be called Leaf Salad with Beets and Radishes. Or something like that. You get my point.

You know what would be great? If Sun-Dried Tomato and Olive Ricotta Scones were in a swimming pool. A scone pool! Like when you ate fast food as a kid and begged, “Mom, please let’s go inside so I can play just for a minute all I really wanna do is jump into that big pool of balls and almost drown with the rush of it.” And now, all I want to do is nearly drown in the rush of jumping into a big pool of Sun-Dried Tomato & Olive Ricotta Scones. I wouldn’t think twice about this, friends.

Chipotles in adobo sauce, friends. That’s where it’s at. One-Pot Chipotle Sweet Potato Chili is super simple (you’re welcome), but then you take it up a notch with those chipotles. Eating it is giving me goosebumps and making my nose runny. I know that’s a really weird thing to say and may not sound at all desirable when we’re talking about food, but that heat – it goes down and spreads out and warms your body in the best way. Don’t fight it. And really, don’t fight it because it takes only 20 – that’s TWENTY(!) – minutes to make One-Pot Chipotle Sweet Potato Chili, so why not?!

I’m not entirely sure I even like papaya. But I just ate a ridiculous amount of Shrimp and Green Papaya Salad.
I typed that first sentence about 6 hours ago and here I am eating another RIDICULOUS amount of this Green* Papaya Salad. It’s healthy though, so I’m okay, right? Literally. cannot. stop.

I really honestly never thought I’d feel this way about a quinoa salad. But oh-my-dear Citrus Avocado Quinoa Salad with Honey Walnuts, will you marry me? I think you are beautiful and colorful. You are sweet and bright and rich. You’re crisp and creamy and juicy. You are simplistically complex in a nearly impossible way. You are a dish that I have only ever met in my dreams and yet, here you are….
SNOW DAY! I made so many delicious kitchen things. *I attempted to make so many delicious kitchen things. Success rate – 50 percent. But those that were successful, are delicious. Like Cranberry-Pecan Spiced Quinoa Breakfast Bowl.

It’s 6am and I’m eating Creamy Mushroom Soup. I know that’s weird, but it’s kind of not weird too because this soup is really good. Like, I’m really happy to be eating it right now. Which, that is weird too. So maybe it’s just me.

Ekk. I have the 3am insomnia, friends. That tossing, turning, so much on my mind that I can’t fall asleep and stay asleep kind of night. That may-as-well-write-about-all-the-kale kind of feeling. Do you ever get that feeling? The Kale Yeah! kind of feeling? You will when you eat my Superfood Kale Salad.
Or when you can’t sleep at 3am.
