Soda In My Beer

by Emily

Three things from the weekend –

{1} Is it even a work-day (Friday) if I don’t eat a giant yogurt bowl?

This one had honey vanilla Greek yogurt, espresso vanilla granola, and fresh blueberries.

{2} We got our most exciting beer delivery from Evil Twin yet.

Sour ale brewed with milk sugar, caramelized barley, vanilla, dark cherry, and cola syrup // sour ale brewed with milk sugar, vanilla, and orange soda syrup // sour IPA brewed with raspberries.

{3} We got curbside take-out from Comfortland and it was everything I’ve ever dreamed of.

I got a biscuit sandwich with egg, cheddar, and turkey bacon. Plus a pineapple guava doughnut that knocked my socks off! And we had frozen painkillers and frozen New Orleans iced coffee with oat milk.

Espresso In My Cookies And My Granola

by Emily

Wow am I glad it’s the weekend! Even if I don’t get to leave the house it will be nice to get a quick break from my busy work-week. Actually though, we have our bi-weekly grocery trip planned for tomorrow – exciting stuff.

My dinners were largely (unphotographably) lame this week but I did have some really exciting beverages and yogurt bowls…

This week’s coffee included homemade malted milk creamer!

Plain skyr with maple, blueberries, and kiwi.

Plain skyr with apples cooked with cinnamon and brown sugar plus espresso vanilla granola.

Honey vanilla Greek yogurt with granola and plum.

I made an amazing batch of chocolate chip cookies with sprinkles, espresso powder, and malted milk powder.

We got a super exciting delivery from Evil Twin – a pink pineapple sour IPA and a chocolate egg cream hard seltzer!

Our nonalcoholic options were pretty fantastic too – Watermelon La Croix, LimonCello La Croix, and Starfruit Lemonade Polar Seltzer.

I really enjoyed this frozen enchilada.

Trader Joe’s mini chicken and cilantro wontons on a bed of peas, celery, and green onion, topped with chili oil.

Have a nice/safe weekend!

Team Unicorns

by Emily

Highlights from a very yummy week…

Still obsessed with Dalgona Coffees.

Also yogurt bowls with fresh berries. Plain skyr with blueberries, blackberries, and amazing espresso vanilla cream granola.

Skyr with berries, cinnamon, maple, and TJ’s flax and chia seed peanut butter.

This cola seltzer was a very limited released and I was quite sad to finish my last bottle this week.

Since we did several nights of sandwiches for dinner chips as a mid-day snack just felt appropriate. Seaweed chips and kettle corn popcorners.

Our cocktail hour was 10/10 this week. We are fully obsessed with homemade frozen painkillers!

Ninja vs Unicorn double IPA.

Romaine salad with TJ’s Greek feta dressing, cotija cheese, rainbow shredded carrots, and fried eggs.

A turkey sandwich on sweet Hawaiian bread with smoked gouda, mayo, mustard, and pickle relish. Plus a side salad.

Best meal of the week = a soft-scrambled egg sandwich with smoked gouda and spicy mustard. Plus roasted okra.

Painkillers In Quarantine

by Emily

Highlights from the weekend…

Cold brew with chocolate milk.

Cinnamon coffee.

I ate my first apple in months – a very crispy Lady Alice – and it was delightful.

Cookie butter Greek yogurt – with granola and chocolate chips.

Beer! The Grimm was too ear waxy for my tastes but the Kills Boro Amethyst sour IPA with blueberries and lavender was very drinkable.

We were supposed to be back home in St. Thomas for carnival this weekend; instead we consoled ourselves with homemade Painkillers. Nutmeg, pineapple juice, orange juice, rums, and I substituted low-fat coconut milk and sweetened condensed milk for coconut cream which worked out great!

Leftover buffalo chicken pizza – with honey and Korean chili flakes – with baby carrots and blueberries.

Roasted veggie bowls – broccoli, bell pepper, and cojita – topped with fried egg and Crystal hot sauce.

Double Dry Hopped

by Emily

Highlights from this week include…

Cafe Bustelo with chocolate milk, aka one of the best espresso-roast coffees with the best chocolate milk.

Yogurt bowls! Working from home means I can make a fresh yogurt bowl every day and I have been loving the crap out of having berries around. Very excited that we are going to the store tomorrow and can restock. Icelandic-style coffee yogurt with blueberries, blackberries, and coconut chips.

Plain Greek yogurt with cinnamon, berries, honey maple granola, and TJ’s flax and chia seed peanut butter.

Plan skyr yogurt with cinnamon, maple syrup, berries, and almonds and candied walnuts.

Korean snacks from this month’s Snack Crate.

Vanilla pineapple IPA brewed with lactose. I’m pretty sure I want every single beer that Collective Arts sells.

Other Half Double Dry Hopped Broccoli. This was insanely drinkable and mellow.

Buffalo chicken pizza.

Ground turkey with shiitake mushrooms, onion, tomato paste, and sour cream on a bed of roasted cabbage. This dish had so much umami!

The best dish of the week = roasted cabbage // topped with seasoned baked tofu // and esquites.

Shaken And Blended

by Emily

Five things from the weekend:

Chipotle chicken nachos. With fajita veggies, corn salsa, and sour cream.

A really good double IPA.

Yogurt bowl with blueberries, blackberries, banana, cinnamon, and TJ’s flax and chia seed peanut butter.

Shaken coffee with ice, cinnamon, espresso powder, and sweetened condensed milk.

We took dalgona coffees to-go on a walk!

Figuring out how to make really excellent coffee at home has made the quarantine infinitely more bearable. Also this guy –

Ice Cream In Space

by Emily

Now that I’m working again, Saturday and Sunday did feel a little bit more like a weekend, even if the biggest excitement was standing in an hour+ line to buy groceries for two weeks.

Highlights include…

Lavender latte pour over.

Plan Icelandic-style yogurt with cinnamon, maple syrup, berries, granola, and peanut butter.

Mint chip freeze-dried ice cream.

The last of our Evil Twin stash.

Leftover pizza.

Breakfast totchos. Tater tots with sharp cheddar, eggs, broccoli, onion, yellow and orange pepper, and turkey maple breakfast sausage. Topped with a lot of zhoug and ketchup.

I recommend ordering yourself the coffee, the ice cream, and the beer while you’re stuck at home!

Back At It

by Emily

Big news I’ve been waiting to share – I went back to work this week! I finally found a job that is a good fit for my experience; I’ll be responsible for the ICUs at a hospital in Queens. Great timing, right?! I actually will be able to do some work-from-home days but this week I had to go into the hospital for training.

Food highlights from this week include…

This week’s coffee combo.

I made Adam and myself dalgona coffees and he is smitten now too.

Usually I don’t keep a ton of candy in the house but now that I’m unable to pop out for an ice cream whenever I wish I’ve started building up a stash.

Amy’s chile relleno bowl with hot sauce. <– my 2nd all-time-favorite frozen meal

Trader Joe’s sriracha shrimp bowl with cashews on top. <– my all-time-favorite frozen meal

Brown sugar garlic chicken thighs / on a bed of roasted broccoli and green beans / topped with zhoug and Korean chili flakes.

Egg casserole (very similar to this recipe) with tons of roasted broccoli and mozzarella. Plus turkey breakfast sausage.

We got take-out last night to celebrate the almost-end of my first work week. Pizza loaded with vegetables – broccoli rabe, roasted zucchini, and olives – and garlic knots loaded with cheese.
