summer is leaving us and i’m reminiscing about all the fun we had. this is how we spent our 4th of july, with good friends eating these incredible portobello and peach burgers that max and margaux grilled up. so tasty! check out the recipe on one of my favorite food blogs, green kitchen stories.
at least not before her first cup of coffee.
bash please hosted a pop-up shop the other night for heather heron and i brought home these three rad bags (the purple one is a birthday gift for my friend margaux). they’re the softest leather and so versatile they’ll go with just about anything. can’t wait for the chance to bring these out to play!
this is one of my favorite lunches for two reasons: fast & tasty! as a bonus it’s stupidly good for you. WIN! how-to below:
the what:
brown rice (leftover or room temperature)
nori sheets
sushi rolling mat
veggies (i prefer avocado but sometimes use carrots, cucumber & hearts of palm)
soy sauce
pickled ginger
wasabi
the how:
- cover your sushi rolling mat in plastic wrap
- lay nori sheet on mat with the rough side facing up
-spread brown rice evenly over the nori leaving a little space at one end to seal the roll *wet hands will help this process along!
-lay ingredients 1″ from top of mat and begin to roll the matt/rice over your ingredients creating a little mound (this part seems daunting the first go round but i promise it gets easier the more you do it) continue rolling until you get to the end of the nori
-slice with a sharp knife (wet it to make sure it slides through the nori easily)
-serve with wasabi, ginger and soy sauce. feel fancy & impressed with yourself.
when my hair starts to get damaged from over bleaching, i go back to my brunette roots. it’s fun to have such a dramatic change! and last night when i was getting dressed to go out i realized that i can pull off a whole new look (read: sassier without looking like a streetwalker). yay for brown hair and the perks that come with it!
fall is here, and some of us are VERY excited! as we’re creeping up on october all i can think about is halloween. ruca has been a squirrel for the past two years. {evidence here and here} what should she be this year?! i’m thinking she’d be an amazing old lady. or a chicken.
