My Everyday Life: Week 21

Here’s what My Everyday Life- Week 21 looked like:

Cinnamon raisin toast with coconut butter.

Sourdough toast with cookie butter. Can you guess which one was mine?

Beauty in the monotony.

Here comes the kitchen cat.

Always looking for food.

Friday night bourbon.

A color combo that caught my eye.

A cat that matches the decor.

Summery vibes.

Shot this corn ravioli for One Potato.

Super corny.

One of my coworkers. What is she doing with her back leg? Ha

Steak salad.

Ravioli times.

An accidental photo that I took while walking.

Breaking in sandals and nude frets.

Hike with my boo.

Mom hands.

Shooting hoops.

Reminds me of Georgia O’Keefe.

Lil buddy.

Getting the mail.

Schmeep.

My coworker brought me some ghormeh sabzi. My favorite!

Monday night hot dogs.

Roasted Strawberries.

The best with oatmeal cookies.

I love you, Mom. You’re the best. I love our talks.

Last night we went to a show put on by two of the original members of Third Eye Blind.

They played the entire first Third Eye Blind album.

We have friends in town visiting.

Stayed up til 4am…. These are 2:30AM food choices.

Because of this…

And this

Youth.

Man bun.

It’s really weird to go to shows now and see people filming the entire show on their phone instead of watching it. I see it a lot when Cooper has school events and I know that I am guilty at times because I’m snapping photos but to have your phone up in front of people who are watching the show in person always seems so weird to me. Watch the show!

Late night shadows.

Colors that caught my eye.

No wonder I’ve been inspired by Georgia O’Keefe. I forgot I opened up her book on our coffee table the other day.

I wish I could be better at taking off sticker labels. I don’t have the finesse.

Trying really hard to relax this weekend but also trying to get my head in the game because I know there’s so much to do this week.

Cinnamon French Toast Muffins

Cinnamon French Toast Muffins are a hybrid (I almost typed hybread- which would have been appropriate!) of french toast, bread puddings and muffins. They’re an alternate way to get your french toast fix. They’re great for the muffin enthusiast.

I’m in it for the tops.

That’s my muffin motto.

The edges get a little crispy because they’ve been dusted in cinnamon sugar.

The insides are moist (sorry moist haters), fluffy and eggy just like french toast.

I think I will have some leftover muffins tomorrow- toasted in oven with butter and jam because that just seems like the right thing to do.

I’ve got company coming over this weekend for Memorial Day…perhaps these will go on the breakfast menu with a side of Candied Ginger Bacon? Yes. That sounds like a solid plan. Also Bloody Marys because THREE DAY WEEKEND.

Crispy Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets

There are certain words my fingers cannot type properly. I know how to spell nuggets but my fingers for some reason type out nuggest. I just had to manually type that because my computer wanted to autocorrect. You’re right computer. It’s nuggets. I also can’t type the word pumpkin without a g at the end. Pumpking Pie is my favorite pie. See?

Mushroom Arugula Toast

Sometimes I forget about mushrooms. I forget how much I love them and always wish I had more whenever I make cook them. Poor mushrooms. I apologize for the neglect.

Over-dramatization.

Sometimes all it takes is a little reminder. A nudge, if you will. I had to buy mushrooms for a photo shoot last week and then I ended up buying them again for myself because I was dreaming about mushroom toast.
