1. 5/105 new recipes
I made 6 new recipes this month!
-
Curry Laksa from Appetite for Reduction by Isa Chandra Moskowitz
Absolutely delicious. Spicy curry, spicy bok choy flavor, complex tasting (lime, agave!) but super easy broth. -
Ginger Sesame Noodles from Quick Fix Vegetarian by Robin Robertson
Great ginger and sesame combo. My noodles fell apart a little (the recipe called for linguine but, um, no. I used Udon) but it was all still delicious. I also added more vegetables. -
Almond Bulgur with black beans, tomatoes and kale from One Dish Vegan by Robin Robertson
This was so good, so cozy! I'd never cooked with almond butter before and it really added a creamy yummyness. -
Manhattan Glam Chowder from Appetite for Reduction by Isa Chandra Moskowitz
This one I was worried about liking while I was cooking it, but it was actually super tasty. That seaweed smell scared me a little, even though I know I love nori! -
Cheezy quinoa and black bean stuffed poblano peppers in the Instant Pot
Our oven is broken and I had gotten the stuff to make stuffed peppers! I made this all up (I just looked at basic steam time and quinoa cooktimes on the internet) and I didn't know if I should count it as ~a recipe~ but Shaun said he thought it should count extra, haha. It was really delicious. Need to use the Instant Pot more! -
Spicy Peanut Soup from One Dish Vegan by Robin Robertson
This was another one that I was nervous about liking. Shaun and I are both wary of peanut sauces. I'm always a little disappointed when I have one in a restaurant, but actually every time I have made one at home I've really liked it and I want to branch out and try recipes I passed over in my 30 before 30. This soup was SO GOOD. SO GOOD. I did fry the tofu because tofu just heated up in a broth is very boring. Also, my second time cooking with bok choy and I love it.
3. A weekly effort
A weird one to track, but I'm trying to take selfies when I put a little extra effort in. Trying to remember that when I see someone who dresses uniquely I think OH THEY'RE DRESSED WEIRD I LOVE IT. Asking myself how I would feel if I saw someone else out and about dressed like I am. Would I think they were total clowns or super cool? Super cool! It's weird how mean I can be to myself. What even is that?
4. Saturday Movie Night
-
Black Panther
-
Avengers: Infinity War
I'm not hitting every Saturday at this point, but that was expected.
7. Keep My Patreon Up to Date!
I'm all scheduled with posts to get caught up on stuff I did in August! I'll be making my public September posts to go up in early October which is where they're supposed to be.
My patron-only stuff will be caught up soon. I took one week off posting while I was working on yard and housework and one week off for cramps but my photos and entries are already scheduled and ready to go!
