Oh gosh you guys, this noodle bowl. It’s everything! And these shiitake mushrooms- salty, rich, such good texture and flavor. Trust me, you’ll love this and be so happily surprised with how easy and good it is! I want to go on and on about it but the truth is that I’m watching the Bachelor as I type and as much as I want to wax on about noodles, THERE IS A GIRL CRYING IN A BATHROOM! Episode two!! And Juan Pablo. You know? So I should probably watch it, yes? Make this noodle bowl!!! xx- Sarah {more after the jump}
I recently stumbled upon an article claiming that there’s a “backlash against kale”. I don’t remember where it was, because honestly, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? I stopped reading before I ever started. If there IS a “backlash against kale” I certainly don’t want to sit down for dinner with the said backlashers. Instead I’m left wondering when are we going to BACKLASH against actual problems? When will we say ENOUGH with corporations who put chemicals, sugar and fat in our foods that has no business being there? When will we BACKLASH against obesity, heart disease, diabetes and the insane rise in autoimmune diseases and cancer? If you’re not angry about the state of food in this country world, if it doesn’t make you FURIOUS that there’s no way to tell if your lunch has been genetically modified short of exclusively buying organic, I think it’s time we have dinner. I’ll serve you this kale salad and get you all riled up, I promise! {And you will LOVE the salad, there will be no backlash there.}
Want to know how you can take a stand and say ENOUGH ALREADY, every single day? Use your dollars. Shop at your local farmers market. Stop buying foods that have mile long lists of ingredients that you need a PHD to even pronounce. Use your vote, use your best judgement, use your heart. Ask questions at restaurants. Request more organic produce at your grocery store. Talk to your family and friends about what you’re eating, what they’re eating, where it all comes from. I believe in us, I know we can ALL do better. Yes, absolutely 1000% me too. Let’s do it, ok? Because if I even see another headline claiming that the “kale fad” is over I’m going to scream. Loudly. And it will probably startle my dogs. I don’t want to do that. …*climbs off soapbox* xx- Sarah {recipe and more after the jump}
These tasty little delights may look like they’d be a fair amount of work in the kitchen but I’m SO happy to tell you they’re insanely easy to whip up and the time they take to make really just lies in waiting for a sweet potato to bake and the quinoa to cook. They’re the kind of dish you serve your friends, impress your significant other with, and wish someone would make for you at a dinner party. All the while being so freaking healthy it’s silly. That’s right, these suckers are HEALTHY. As in: protein packed, antioxidant rich, low in saturated fat, HEALTHY TOWN, USA. Make them, please! Heck, while you’re at it make them twice!! xx- Sarah {more after the jump}
If you’ve never had miso glazed eggplant, well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you’re totally missing out! Don’t worry though, I’m not just taunting you with photos of these delicious little suckers. There’s a recipe. And you should make them. I’d serve them with homemade sushi, or as a side with these carrot noodles in peanut sauce. Hop to it my friends! And if you can find the small, skinny Japanese eggplants those work even better. xx- Sarah
Farra made them for me at Poet’s Loft and I very nearly proposed to her too. So beware, this recipe may result in an engagement. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!!!! {recipe and more after the jump!}
It’s blood orange season!!! I’m so excited! They’re just the prettiest fruit and so, so sweet I can’t get enough of them! I threw together this salad over the weekend and it was too delicious and beautiful to keep to myself. I hope you love as much as I do! xx- Sarah {more after the jump}
