Adventure Begins in the Kitchen

Happy Gameday!

by

A Yogi Tea with a spiritual quote of the day is far from a typical gameday beverage.  But with a week of DC travel ahead of me, a calm Labor Day weekend is the wiser choice.

I was torn between incorporating the leftover Pizza Fusion tapenade into my breakfast or eating straight up leftovers.  Decisions, decisions.

Incorporated breakfast won!  I scrambled an egg, spinach, and vegan cheddar til fluffy and set atop a tapenade covered piece of sprouted wheat toast.  It was a hearty little breakfast.

Happy gameday to you all and Gooooooooo Gators!

Hipsta-Sushi

by

I made a mental note as I walked out the door this morning to pack my camera and, whattayaknow, I left it on the kitchen counter.  Luckily I have the Hipstamatic app on my phone, which does its best to mask the terribleness of the iPhone 3 camera.  Where are you iPhone 5!?

Robbie, who I can usually convince to go wherever I want for lunch, has been a tad difficult lately.  I mean, seriously, what’s wrong with wanting to go to Cafe Hey every day for lunch?  Anyway, I lost that battle, and we settled on The Rack where I could get sushi and he could get man food.  I would never let him know that it worked out for the best, but it did, because the tuna and avocado salad was pretty much my dream lunch.

Ye Olde Barley

by

I’d be lying if I said I had high expectations for dinner tonight.  I was hoping for an empty pantry miracle and the fact that I was able to create something edible, well I’ll consider that the miracle.

Hulled barley leftover from my fourth blog post ever?  Ok!

Once I passed the shock that a. the barley was still good and b. I could pinpoint the exact moment I last used it, I dumped a couple cans of beans, oil and vinegar, and some spices in a cast iron pot and then gracefully spilled the spices all over the floor.  Oops!

This recipe wasn’t tasty enough to share.  But!  I do think the barley and bean combo was delish and would love to hear your suggestions on what ingredients I could have added to make it a share worthy dish.

Souped Up Soup, In Pictures

by

Breakfast: Leftover Swag Cereal & Almond Milk

Lunch: Souped Up Soup

Dinner: Barley & Bean Salad with Green Beans

The shining star meal of my day was most definitely the soup.  I usually keep a few Simply Asia soups in my pantry for when I’m feeling brothy and boring.  And today I souped up the brothy and made it far from boring by adding a cup of frozen kale and two tablespoons of hot and spicy marinade.  I can’t even describe how much this soup hit the spot – so spicy, so crunchy, so noodle-y!
