If You Eat Quinoa on Memorial Day, the Communists Win



Day Whatever

It was Memorial Day weekend and I’ve been skipping around/cheating occasionally, so I’m giving up on doing daily meal updates until I’m back on the wagon on Tuesday. Here’s what I made/ate from the Buzzfeed challenge over the last few days:

Collard-Wrapped Turkey Burger

Jewel doesn’t carry collard greens (huge shock), so I bought some butter lettuce instead. I added some garlic, but other than these two adjustments, I followed Buzzfeed’s recipe. Yum. This was the best turkey burger I’ve ever had, which doesn’t say much, because I’ve only ever had like three turkey burgers, but this was pretty damn good. Even my husband said it looked really good. He was sufficiently horrified that I couldn’t eat it on a roll, however. I swear I took a picture of it but I can't find one so apparently not. Sorry.

Soft-Boiled Eggs with Sweet Potato Soldiers, Roasted Tomatoes, and Kale Salad

This was pretty good, and an interesting idea. It took for-frigging-ever to make, though; there’s a lot going on in this recipe. Again, I hate kale, so I just used romaine. I will say that their instructions for soft boiling eggs are much more accurate than their instructions for hard boiling them; these turned out the perfect amount of runny.






Baked Eggs In Garlicky Collard Greens and Sweet Potatoes

Meh. This was ok. I’m getting kind of sick of eggs and ‘garlicky greens’ at this point. Is this really what vegetarians survive on?


AB&J Smoothie

I subbed peanut butter (see previous posts). This was realllllly good. Definitely tastes like a liquefied PB&J with banana. 


Paprika-Roasted Chickpeas with Crispy Kale on Cheesy Portobello Mushroom Caps

This was also surprisingly good. I had some leftover artichokes, so I threw those in there as well. Tasty. 


Chia Pudding with Blackberries, Coconut and Pistachios

Meh. Same shit different berry.


I also made a veg stir fry with quinoa instead of the goddamn cauliflower rice they seem to love so much. It was good.
