Friends! No new Joy the Baker podcast this week 🙁 Joy is in Maine and I’m going through maj withdrawals! You can listen to all of them here!
There is a new High Straightenence post though! I’m planning a family get together this weekend and this is how I’m mapping out my TO-DO lists.
MY BITES AROUND THE NET
My friend Alli shares how she meal plans! She was inspired by my post on homefries.
Rebecca Moss made my No Knead Pizza dough recipe.
Jessica from How Sweet Eats was inspired by my Grilled Peaches with Blue Cheese recipe.
Anne from Anne the Adventurer also made my Grilled Peaches with Blue Cheese recipe!!
Melissa Mann from the RueLala blog used my Basil Infused Oil with Caprese Quinoa.
Iris from Eating Clean in the Dirty City made my Peaches & Plums with Sesame Crumble.
Shredded Rainbow Salad
Sometimes I feel guilty when I come home from work and I don’t want to make dinner for my family.
I don’t think I’m alone.
But then I find a recipe that reminds me that food doesn’t have to be complicated. We can just shove stuff into a food processor to make a salad. And how dang easy is it to dump stuff in a jar and make salad dressing. Dang EASY.
Getting my picky almost 4 year old to try shredded beets? That is the opposite of dang easy.
We can add buttery toast and we can call it a meal. We can add grilled meat and call it a meal for my husband.
We’re eating rainbow colors on a weeknight as we should be. Now, what’s for dessert?
Dark Chocolate Cake Doughnuts
Sometimes a girl just needs chocolate.
Sometimes a girl just needs a chocolate cake doughnut.
Sometimes a girl just needs a chocolate cake doughnut with toasted coconut on top.
And most of the time, she needs it RIGHT AWAY.
My Everyday Life: Week 34
Here’s what this past week looked like:
Last Sunday morning I was reading a magazine & drinking coffee in Carmel. Heaven!

My Bites Around the Net:
Tanya from Squirrelly Minds made my Angel Hair Arugula Pasta
Sheri from Pork Cracklins made my Tarragon Lime Tea
Diane from Diane, A Broad made my Scalloped Corn
Joy adapted the heck out of my No Knead Pizza. Totes. Maj! Yolo.
Herbed Flatbread
“NO WAY. NOOOOOOO WAY. Nooooo way I made that!!!”
That’s what I screamed (in my head) when I took my first bite one of these hot herbed flatbreads. Holy schnitzel, I made my own flatbread! Is it a cracker? Is it a bread? It’s kinda both. This opens up a whole new world. A world full of easily made carbs…. at my fingertips!
They’re buttery even though there’s no butter. It’s the olive oil! I’m straight up obsessed with the salt & rosemary. I might have to hide this recipe from myself cuz I don’t trust myself. I basically have all of these ingredients at my disposal 24/7. If I invite you over, expect to see these make an appearance. There’s so much we can do with these.
I can’t deal. I’m just a girl obsessed….with flatbread. But, you know….what else is new?
