Very belated post featuring some of my favorite food colors lately.

 
 

1. Chickpeas, tofu, spinach, and tomatoes on quinoa.

2. My favorite Mediterranean mix.

3. Boring pasta with mozzarella, tomatoes, and spinach.

4. Kale! And some other stuff.

Sorry for the long wait in between posts! I've been very lazy with the cooking these days...

light and well-rounded flavors

These are some pictures I snapped of a quick lunch - rosemary crackers topped with Boursin, smoked salmon, and fresh thyme, and on the side, a perfect hard-boiled egg with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper. I love all the textures and flavors - the creamy tangy cheese, the flakiness of the salmon, the spark of salt on your tongue, rooted by the woodiness of pepper (it's there, I promise). And of course you have that weird thyme stuff... so flavorful and yet so elusive in that "I can't put my finger on what I'm tasting but I know it's there" kind of way. It really rounds all those tastes off quite nicely. This isn't exactly "cooking" - at least, not on my part - but it's certainly good eats.

weird foods

In this edition of Weird Foods I Can Barely Spell But Love To Eat, we have quinoa with roasted kabocha squash, string beans, and grape tomatoes. Sprinkled with salted pistachios. This stuff is the bomb dot com.

veggie couscous salad

Sunday lunch. Chopped raw veggies (bell pepper, grape tomatoes, avocado) on a bed of couscous, topped with feta and extra virgin olive oil. This - or at least some variation of it - is basically all I ate between February and April. Really good with chickpeas and black olives.
