Falafel Hummus

As a vegetarian, one who eats veggies, a veggie-eater, it’s a little odd to admit that I have vegetable aversions.

Especially because they’re fairly non-offensive veggies, like celery, cucumbers, and carrots. Sure, I like eating them IN things (soup, mostly), but raw? Nahhhh man. That ain’t right.

My blog is having a sort of existential crisis lately. WHO AM I. WHAT AM I EVEN DOING.

I’m in one of those creative lulls where I just want to eat peanut butter with a spoon, top it with a few chocolate chips and call it good.

Fair warning: this is a post about my dog….and cupcakes that I baked for my dog….for her birthday.

Eeeek. I feel crazy. If you’re not into dogs, you may not care about this post – that’s okay! Let’s hang out next week with our people food! Deal? Deal.

Creamy Cauliflower Pesto Shells with Burrata

So remember last week how I made a really healthy kale salad to try to detox a bit from my vacation? Let’s talk about what happened later that week…

If you aren’t a Minnesotan, you may not quite understand how obsessed we are with our lakes. We LOVE our lake time in the summer. Until last week, I hadn’t gotten enough lake time. Not even close.

Last Tuesday I headed up to northern MN for 5 days of relaxing, reading, and boating with Ryan’s family. Now that I’m back to the real world, with a hefty week of stressful work, I’m missing those slow mornings of long breakfasts followed by hours of boating with a book or fishing reel in my hand.

Teia misses the lake too, but probably not those scary lake waves (sorry if you’re not into dog videos…it’s just too damn cute to not share).
