this week in my kitchen :: blog hop










food in bowls...
top it with berries and seeds
or eggs and avocado,
and I'm bound to be a happy diner

the start of a new batch of oatmeal porter

red cabbage on a green cutting board

mexican coke and ginger kombucha, a possibly unlikely
but wonderful duo for my tummy bug



playing along again with Heather, for her 'This Week in my Kitchen' blog hop

  3. I honestly think the best, most comforting food, is the one that can be served in bowls. And those bowls of yours, they seem the kind I want to take with me to snuggle up in the evening, after a long and hard day at work.

    1. there is something comforting about a warm (or cold, I suppose) bowl of food, isn't there? easier to snuggle up on the couch with a blanket and a book and a bowl than with a plate, that's for sure!

    1. I'm one of those throw-it-together types usually. and so really, these are more like un-recipes. the top is plain yogurt topped with blueberries, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, and a splash of maple syrup, bowl two is stir fired rice and veggies (broccoli rabe, red pepper, onion and corn, mostly) topped with over easy fried eggs and avocado, the third is brown rice topped with shrimp sautéed with garlic, butter, broccoli rabe, and bacon.

      cheers!

    1. aw, thank you! there are lots of things about it that we'd like to change/update, but really..... I realize that if I had my perfect countertop or perfect ceramic sink or what-have-you that it wouldn't make my time in there any different. not really, anyway. and so I'm beginning to actually appreciate the old hardware and somewhat orange-y plywood cabinets, the slightly peeling countertop, etc. ;)

  15. The shrimp looks yummy! I didn't think Mexican coke would taste different but it does. It's a nice treat every once in a while.

  16. Lovely post! All your food looks delicious, I especially love that corn salad! I read in an old old cook book that in order for a salad to be considered such, it needed to have no fewer than 30 ingredients! Shew! I think you could manage that!
