Office Coffee

How I use basic coffee ingredients in my office break room to make a smooth, indulgent morning beverage.

So what I do is pour my drip coffee into one cup, add in the honey and stir to incorporate. In the other cup, I froth the creamer into a thick foam. Then i pour the sweetened coffee over the froth, thereby incorporating the cream throughout the coffee and leaving a pleasant layer of foam on top. Sometimes i add cinnamon. If I'm lucky there might be whipped cream in the fridge. If so I add some on top. People at the office are always curious as to where I procured my fun-looking coffee and are always gagged when I tell them I made it in the break room with the same ingredients they use to pour their own perfectly fine coffee. Perhaps others are not constantly treat-seeking like I am.

Girl Dinner?

It's not really a recipe just what I'm snacking on tonight.

I just keep making plate after plate. Signifies a shift. I've never been particularly keen on blueberries but I love them so much right now I am a born again blueberry stan.

Lo-fi Day Off Breakfast

    Ingredients:
  • 2 eggs
  • slice of cheese (i used provolone today)
  • flour tortilla
  • butter
  • tomato
  • avocado
  • salt and pepper

Scramble the eggs in the butter. Once theyre about done place the slice of cheese on top. Place tortilla on top of that then flip the whole thing over so the tortilla can get crispy and the cheese can melt. Fold it over and you have a nice little crunchwrap. Serve with salted tomato and avocado slices on the side.

This was so goddam good. I'd been dreaming of making it since yesterday and it paid off. So easy and filling and nutritious with such minimal cleanup which is super important to me. Today I tried something different by choosing not to make it spicy but normally I'd recommend some hot sauce and/or pickled jalapenos. If you're really hungry maybe a slice of ham layered in there. I cannot wait to eat this again!

Customizable asf Salad

    Ingredients:
  • cucumber
  • tomato
  • onion
  • avocado
  • white nectarine (could use clementines, pear, strawb, whatever fruit!)
  • mozzarella pearls (could use goat cheese for a creamy salad!)
  • artichoke hearts (hearts of palm are what I do most often)
  • fresh jalapeno
  • greek olives with a splash of the brine (could use pickles and juice)
  • cilantro (parsley, dill, mint would all be good too!)
  • splash of olive oil
  • generous squeeze of lime juice
  • cracked salt n pep

You can really just freestyle this however. It's so sour and bright and fresh and filling and delicious.

I realize I feel compelled to do the thing everyone hates which is precede a recipe with an article. Smh. Well! This is my blog and I want to talk about my salad.

This salad can be modified in about a million different ways. Today I planned to put marinated artichoke hearts but I forgot them. Didn't realize till after I was finished. So the salad was good anyway and now I'll share it with you fine folks.
