The day my tan towelettes betrayed me.
The day my tan towelettes betrayed me.
Considering I love salads, and that I love them more when they’re chopped up into itty bitty pieces and contain both bacon AND avocado, you didn’t seriously think I wouldn’t post about this BLT chopped salad, did you? Fools.
My phone auto corrects Ina Garten to Ina fatten.

Monday: sweet peas and shells alfredo (from the smitten kitchen cookbook), kale caesar salad (yes, again, because it’s that great)
Tuesday: spicy bean and rice burritos
Wednesday: mustard milanese with an arugula fennel salad (also from the sk cookbook)
Thursday: thai beef with chiles over coconut rice and a ton of broccoli
Friday: praying for the grand opening of the new chipotle next to our house
Massaged kale caesar salad - If you like caesar salad you will love this caesar salad. The dressing is fantastic and it’s totally weird but worth it to rub oil into the kale leaves.
Orecchiette alla vodka - This turned out great, and I suspect it’d be even better if I hadn’t left out the tomato paste and subbed in whole milk for the cream thanks to a scatterbrained grocery list :/
Cincinnati chili - Possibly the most flavorful chili I’ve ever had. Be warned that it takes multiple hours of simmering, it pays off.
Budget bytes’ stromboli - Previously reviewed here. Thumbs up dot gif.
Special shout out to the corn/bacon/scallion/greek yogurt/chicken salad I made for book club. Out of this world, guys. Seriously.
I just want to know, officially, how few steps I’ve taken today.
Not sure about your ideal Friday but mine’s pictured above.

Whenever I see a something I already own on tv or that a celebrity has that thing too I get a really unjustified sense of validation for a second. Like yes, self, you must have good taste because you have the same sheets as Kerry Washington on Scandal.
