It’s 9 pm and usually I’d be heading to bed but I can’t turn off the news. I think I may be up all night. My heart rate is sky high. There’s only so much chocolate can do. So I guess I will multi task and share some pics. Food as a means of comforting? YEP.
Cashew hollandaise don’t mind if I do.
Sooooo, these avocado and quinoa fritters were good but I’m not sure if they were worth the time and energy it took to make them.
They are from this cookbook, A Modern Way to Cook.
My photos could use some work, but the iPhone can only do so much.
I ended up adding heaps of quinoa more than the recipe calls for to make them work which I’m thinking may be due to the bigger than average size of avocados I used. Maybe the (UK based?) cookbook author isn’t familiar with the CA avo scene. You can’t really form guacamole into a shape, and that’s kinda what I was doing…anyway, the kids took long naps so it was okay, and the good news is it made a TON so now we have avo fritters for days to come.
Speaking of things in excess…
The kind staff of TJ’s didn’t judge me even a bit for reserving all this. And now I have even more chocolate (on top of my birthday and Halloween stash) to help me through this election.
Peanutty contraband. PS I’m going to have an allergy update for you guys soon (his IgE went up for both cow dairy and peanuts – womp womp). Until then.
One recipe that I think you guys should try out is this pinch of yum broccoli salad with orange miso dressing.
I used fresh squeezed oranges instead of juice and happily devoured the leftovers the next day for lunch (which is saying a lot since (a) I’m not a leftovers person and (b) I always want my same massive avocado kale and macadamia nut salad for lunch and nothing else is ever as good).
Which is your favorite? Which would you go for first?
Dark chocolate with nuts!!!!
The toffee in the top right corner 😊
Via my sharp see’s candy identifier i don’t see my most favorite one there- the “chelsea” which has fudge inside, so i’ll take the molasses chips!
And, ummmm, you’re gonna need more chocolate. Like a good four years worth….. :/
Just wanted to say a quick thanks for the broccoli salad recommendation! Made it yesterday and it was a huge hit (even with my husband who says he doesn’t like broccoli). I’ve been relying on your salad expertize for a while now, I think we might have similar tastes 😉
UGH. I know. I think I’m just now coming out of my post Tuesday depression. More chocolate necessary…
