Bites of My Life

I somehow got lucky enough to have two friends cook delicious meals for Peter and I this week. Dinner is such an everyday thing, but to have someone cook for you is special. There were appetizers, drinks, delicious entrees and desserts at both. I was quickly inspired to set a new goal for 2022 to host more people this year. I’ve gotten away from having people over to my place, and I don’t love that. I think I started to feel like my apartment is too small, I don’t live in a house, or my kitchen isn’t big enough, etc. But I’ve had about 5 girls staying in my 800 square foot apartment over a weekend so I’m not sure why i think I can’t have a few friends over for dinner. So here’s to my goal of hosting in some capacity, once a month for the year!

-What says the first Monday of January than a deeply green smoothie.
-January means uggs jeans and shackets as many days in row as possible.
-First meal from The Defined Dish’s new book as her spiced lamb lettuce cups. I’m ready to cook through her book, all of the recipes are amazing.
-Peter and I were treated to a delicious mid-week din by my sweet Morgs.
-Mexican train may not be ideal with just two, but you can only play gin so many times.
-Not sure how I got so lucky to be cooked for by two friends in one week, but the vibes and food were immaculate at the future Wolfe’s place Friday night.
-Why is it that Chinese food is the most crave-able food? Frozen dumplings in my freezer are a must to curb the crave.
-I’ve always been jealous of not getting to have a classic peanut butter cookie, but I’m loving the grain-free almond butter version in Alex’s new book. So easy and good!
-Post church lunch at Loro! I haven’t been since right after they opened and I was quickly reminded how good it is. I got the Curry Chicken Bowl and Peter and I split the salmon dip.
