Highlights from the week…

This week marked Webster’s thirteenth Buyday! We celebrated with a walk at Edgewood Oak Brush Plains Preserve.

Plus smashburgers from Paper Plate. The dog and I shared a double 🙂

The human family members also enjoyed some fries.

Also we checked out Kismet Coffee and had a honey vanilla latte. They were out of skim milk and the pistachio milk was surprisingly pleasant.

Snacks this week were most bougie/international candies. The last of my Bon Bon stash.

Blueberry and sour passionfruit gummies (both 9.5/10’s!).

Colombian guava caramel candies.

My parents sent me this hibiscus sugar for my birthday so I tried it in some fun drinks.

Like a smoothie with frozen blueberries, vanilla protein powder, and water.

And in cold foam on an iced matcha.

One of my favorite dinner combinations is cole slaw with baked chicken. This bowl was Bang Bang inspired! Cabbage slaw with plain skyr, sweet chili sauce, honey, rice vinegar, Sriracha, mayo, and dijon mustard and baked chicken that was marinated in skyr, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, sesame oil, oyster sauce, and sweet chili sauce.

Turkey Laab. Paired with roasted zucchini and a mix of brown rice and roasted riced cauliflower.

Leftover cauliflower/rice with marinated kale (basically this recipe) and cheesy scrambled eggs.

Tofu – baked shredded super firm tofu that I tossed in a skillet with Trader Joe’s yuzu green tea jelly, gochujang, rice vinegar, and sesame oil / sauteed baby bok choy with ginger and sesame seeds / radish cakes from the 99 Ranch freezer section.
