Bites of My Life

I had (still have) a kleenex to my nose all weekend, and got prettttty bored doing nothing, but it was nice to use my cold as an excuse to do absolutely nothing this weekend. I”m sure it helped, but I’m still trying to ward off a cold. However, lot’s of hot tea, Christmas movies and time on the couch doesn’t leave me much to complain about!

-I just love the way my house glows this time of year.
-Merriest and brightest place in the city!
-My newest MBM’s that I can’t get enough of!
-Last day with our beloved intern at work, so tacos and a few tears were put on the agenda.
-Did I mention I love the way my house glows this time of year?
-Friday night in with a head cold, so I opted to clear out my sinuses with this easy at home curry. Just frozen stir fry veggies with coconut milk, spices and a little cornstarch to thicken.
-We were supposed to get snowed in this weekend but not even a flake of snow showed up. I was set on some snow day baking, so gingerbread men were still made with White Christmas on in the background.
-Had a visitor show up during my baking, but she had no interest in being my sous chef.
-We gifted my mom a cooking class at the new Sur La Table for her birthday back in October. We finally had our class last night and loved it! Loved the food we made even more - pork chops with verde sauce over polenta with mushroom ragu.

Bites of My Life

Feels like a second ago when we had a new bites post! Well...cause we did. Getting off schedule with coming home from New York, last week's post went up on Thursday, but here we are again, back on Monday as usual! The end of my week ending with a lot of learning. Learning came in all different ways. Learning about places in my city I hadn't been before, learning to really soak in those super happy moments, learning a new skill, and learning new techniques to add to my cooking repertoire. 

-B-lined for Starbucks the morning #redcups came out! Current order--> almond milk decaf latte or jade citrus mint tea (the best). 
-Golden milk on serious repeat. Let me know if you want my recipe!
-This sweet potato bowl needs to get in your life --> sweet tater, yogurt of choice (I used blueberry), generous blob of almond butter and granola crumbled on top!
-TJs Burrata, Prosciutto, Arugula flatbread with thin sliced apples and maldon salt sprinkled over the top, do it!
-Thunder is back!
-Post 2AM Whataburger...
-So our power went out, again. I took lunch outside to sit fireside by our chiminea, instead of cooping up by a collection of candles. 
-Saturday night was frozen avocado margs, my favorite chips in the city and fireside (round 2) with great friends and great conversation. It was one of those super happy moments I mentioned above.
-Cured salmon avocado toast brunch style at The Drake. 
-My mom's sweetest friend is teaching me to knit and know I think everyone is getting a scarf for Christmas.
-Learned so many new and educating tips about how to cook with really great and healthy ingredients at the #pkcookingclass! Follow @provisionkitchen to stay aware on more classes to come.
-Seriously the funnest night learning, cooking and eating a healthy and delicious Thanksgiving meal at the #pkcookingclass! Those scalloped sweet potatoes though...
