So here are some of the culinary adventures I've been up to, in no particular order:

Green smoothie making in my new Blendtec! This one is banana, papaya, and kale with a little almond milk.

More creative lunches. This is seitan with barbacue sauce (Amber Shea, avert your eyes!) and a salad topped with homemade baked kale chips! When I first made the seitan, I thought the texture was a little weird, but I found it gets lots better after it sits in the fridge overnight or even for a few days.

Chocolate peanut butter thumbprint cookies, to feed my pb and chocolate addiction. I found these on Pursuing Balance, so go say hi to Meredith and pick up this yummy recipe!

Banana softserve, courtesy of my Blendie. I got a huge case of overripe bananas from work, so I peeled them all and stuck them in two plastic ice cream buckets in my freezer, so I just pull a few out and blend whenever I want ice cream! I usually mix it with cocoa powder, but it's more photogenic this way.
Congratulations to any other students for finishing another semester, and double hooray's if you're graduating.

PS- Louka, my kitty is curled up next to me asleep, and she's snorting like a little piglet! I've never heard a cat do that.
great eats mckella!
ReplyDeleteok so you have a blendtec. I have one too but never use it b/c it's too technical for me. the electronic gadgetry is too weird. I like my vitamix b/c it's a radio-knob dial, old school but works. I also dont like the lack of a tamper stick in the blentec. clearly yours is working for you but if you have any tips, hit me up in my comments!
Congrats on graduating! It's a huge accomplishment and, I'm sure, relief at the same time.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I did indeed need to avert my eyes from that poor defenseless seitan cutlet languishing beneath the BBQ sauce, but you redeemed yourself with the choc-PB cookies :P
Congrats on graduating, McKella! I was also an English Writing Major back in the day...wow, it's hard to believe it, but I graduated college 15 years ago!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats again! And Yummy Chocolate & PB!
