Please tell me you see the peace sign too! Or else I’ll just feel crazy. 1/3 cup vanilla soy milk, 2/3 cup water, 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1/8 cup instant oats, 1 TBS chia seeds, cinnamon, 1/2 banana (whipped in at the end). Topped with Crunchy Peanut Butter, Crofters Asia Superfruit Spread and Homemade Pumpkin [...]
Roasted Brussel Sprouts, All Day Boston Baked Beans, Roasted Butternut Squash How do I stay warm on a rainy day? I turn on my oven. I actually hover over my oven as the food cooks to absorb the warm, beautiful aroma. My hair always smells fantastic. For dinner tonight I wanted something simple and roasted. [...]
I heard a knock on my door this morning, “Nora….want to run to the high-school with me?” It was my dad. Without hesitation I screamed YES and was ready in five minutes. I was planning on going for a quick run down the street before heading back to my apartment but to me, there is [...]
Today was a day of realizations. Apparently…. The weather is truly unpredictable (2nd weather mention today haha). We had a minor earthquake this afternoon. Between the hours of 3pm-4pm. I NEED A SNACK. Thank you Cashew Cookie Larabar . I really love no cook meals. My mom’s Roasted Shrimp and Orzo leftovers were amazing for [...]
I’ve never actually been hit by a bus, however; I woke up this morning feeling like I had. I could not fall asleep last night until sometime between 2:30 and 3am. I am estimating this time frame because I recall seeing the clock at 2:15am and then woke up sprawled out on my futon at [...]
Good morning and happy MONDAY! How is it already Monday again? I returned to my apartment late last night after a wonderful last meal (complete with a brownie and mint chocolate chip ice cream ) with my parents. Unfortunately, commuting home on the weekends often means that I am nearly out of weekly staples. As [...]
It’s Sunday again, which meant one thing: Dad’s Breakfast Kitchen was open for business! Behold: Dad’s Legendary Strawberry Belgian Waffles. Sunday is always such a peaceful day in our home. Growing up, we would always go to church as a family and come home for a special meal thoughtfully prepared by my dad. He always [...]
My thought process this morning went something like this: It’s raining, it’s pouring… I don’t really want to get out of bed…I need oatmeal. My parents do not share my obscene love for breakfast, therefore; the selection of “oatmeal add-ins” when I come home is extremely limited. They do not have a trace almond butter, [...]
I live by the motto “never judge a book by its cover”; some of the best things in life come in unexpected forms. I always try to keep an open mind and will try anything once (within reason). It is with this mentality that I have discovered my love for things like escargot and raw [...]
This morning I had a big ol’ bowl of overnight oats. It has been WAY too hot to make hot oatmeal but cereal and smoothies NEVER fill me like a hearty bowl of loaded oats. I added 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk, cinnamon and vanilla extract to my bowl and let [...]
