Back on Track?

This week I am getting over an awful chest cold that rendered me pretty useless. Tonight I make my "triumphant" return to kitchen witchery, whipping up some veggies and kielbasa which will be served over fries, as tacos, or as tostadas. I haven't quite figured it out yet. **UPDATE 5/1/14: None of the above. I made kielbasa, onion, mushroom, and pepper (bell and poblano) NACHOS. So wrong but so damn right... But I made my own tortilla chips so that counts, right?!?! Apparently my new fall back is FUCK IT! MAKE NACHOS!**

Other than that, I have returned to my meatless lunches and overall am feeling a little bit better. I am doing a daily yogurt (right now Chobani flips since they were on sale and are SO FLIPPING DELICIOUS [did you see what I did there?]!) for a snack at work. And eating a cucumber every day with a little bit of Kalamata Olive Hummus. Today I also rocked a Trader Joes Pizza Veggieburger. Lots of water and some seltzer. Minimal caffeine (like one caffinated beverage a day). Maybe a few sips of The Husband's full flavored soda. And some chips, because...chips.

Let's discuss the hummus and veggieburgers, shall we?

This kalamata olive hummus... I don't know how I feel. This is less Trader Joe's fault and more my forgetting that in the world of olives, kalamata is not my favorite. And there are some pieces of olive and pit in the hummus. Not terribly off-putting but I am hella nervous I'm going to crack a tooth on a piece of pit while at work. If you dig the kalamata and hummus and don't care about the possibility of needing dental work this is the hummus for you. Flavor is very olive-y/brine-y. Nice with cukes.

So, I know these veggieburgers are going to make me sick. I knew purchasing them they were not gluten free. But Pizza? In a veggieburger? What sorcery is this? Delicious sorcery, that's what it is. They are super tasty. I cooked them a little long so the edges were a little tough but nbd. That's my fault. Not too heavy on the basil (thanks the laaawwwwd), or cheese, or sauce. Or in not crazy speak: well balanced. My only ish? They are a little greasey.

Looking forward to continuing this habit. Maybe adding my smoothies back in too.

I realized, going through my phone that I have a bunch of food porn pictures. Maybe some more tutorials soon?
