This weekend I: worked both days // celebrated Rex Manning Day by watching Empire Records and eating pizza and brownies // celebrated Easter by infusing vodka with Peeps marshmallows and eating my weight in sugar.

Highlights included…

Tapatio pickles. These were nice and firm and spicier than I was expecting.

Peeps vodka with pink Ting. <— a perfect combination!

Triple chocolate brownies. The Bakers chocolate recipe (halved) with the addition of espresso powder, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips.

Nougat candies that my parents made at home!

Noosa lemon bar frozen yogurt is a 10/10 for Spring.

Turkey laab (we love this recipe) with sauteed bok choy and fennel with ginger and green onions.

Big salads. Romaine lettuce, bean sprouts, Trader Joe’s cilantro dressing, crispy baked lentils, honey roasted baked chickpeas, sliced turkey, and turkey bacon.
