Kale & Artichoke Soup

Kale & Artichoke Soup | www.theroastedroot.net

Yes, it is 85 degrees in Cal town. Yes, winter has been over since it began. Yes, I sweated buuuuullets while eating this soup and melted on the ground afterwards and muttered incoherently, “I’m soooo hoooooot” over and over while the boyfriend rolled his eyes. Yes, I’m jealous of how impeccable Adam Levine’s posture is. Wha Whaaaat? As I slouch on my couch tip typing away while watching The Voice, I wish I had another pot of this kale and artichoke soup to enjoy as a bloggy snack.

Gluten Free Strawberry Rhubarb Cake

Being a vegetable-like creature is difficult, especially when your hair is like celery because it grows and grows and needs to be cut frequently. Over-run with celery-like hair clippings, the peaceful beings saw no other option for their waste than to jettison it into outer space.

Guacamole + Cookbook Review

Best guacamole on the planet

Warm up your spoons, it’s guac time! Guacamole, like The Dude’s rug in The Big Lebowski, is the ingredient that ties together so many meals. It’s a dipper, topper, stuffer. It’s what makes scrambled eggs edible. It’s salad dressing if you ask me. And if we were to go one step further, we could also say guacamole is the backbone to your sob fest after a rough day. The shoulder you blow your nose on. Or when the boyfriend’s out of town, guacamole is dinner. No use in pretending it’s not.
