I dunno if you guys want ideas but here are some of the latest and greatest (?) from the hippie kitchen. Kale salad with candied nuts, dried cranberries & smoky lemon tahini dressing. 1 large bunch of kale, washed, de-stemmed, ripped into bite sized pieces 1/3 cup dried cranberries 1 cup candied nuts (I used almonds and pecans) Bon Appetit’s Smoky Lemon Tahini Dressing – I halved it and added 1 tbsp of both miso paste and maple syrup Wednesday was national frozen yogurt day (uhhh, that’s a thing??) so Menchie’s was… Read more >

While looking at my latest food photos I noticed a trend… My new polishes and my recent meals are far too similar in color scheme to be coincidental. Looks like my subconscious has a preference for certain hues right now. 🙂 Top Left: corn meal grits with Bragg’s aminos and avocado Top Right: spinach salad with quinoa, eggs, & carrots Bottom Left: tempeh scrambler Bottom Right: The Better Chip chips (love!)
