The Labor-Less Weekend
This weekend has been exactly what I hoped. Lazy. Relaxing. Unproductive.
I normally can’t stand to sit still. I need to be constantly doing something. So it was nice to just sit back and relax with friends.
A few nights of going out, house parties, you know, the usual.
I’ve been eating ugly but delicious meals, like this:
I was in the mood for a Mexican Mess but didn’t have all the standard ingredients, so I whipped this up instead. It’s not even really a recipe, but in case you’re curious, it was:
- 1/2 zucchini
- 1/2 yellow squash
- 1/2 cup salsa (I used a really spicy kind)
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1/2 onion
- spices to taste (chili powder, crushed red pepper, garlic and salt)
I just sautéed it all in some olive oil until the veggies were nice and soft. I love dishes like this because you can basically substitute anything you want and it’ll still come out delicious.
I’ve also been eating almond butter like it’s my job.
(If a job like that exists, please consider this my application.) Thanks to the almond butter + sweet potato combo that I can’t stop eating, I’ve gone through so much almond butter, that this jar was just asking to be made into a smoothie bowl. Who was I to deny the almond butter?
This was your standard: almond milk + banana + stevia + xanthan gum + ice combination, poured into a little almond butter jar for maximum deliciousness.
Other random weekend highlight: trading in my semi-broken Droid for an iphone
After the amazing transition from PC to Mac, I was really excited to finally switch to an iphone. I’m kind of obsessed. I think my favorite part is Instagram. (I know, I know, of all the awesome features, am I really saying this is my favorite part?) Let me have my fun, alright?
Random picture I took while we were driving downtown:
Cool, right? Maybe I’ll do a whole What I Ate Wednesday– Instagram Edition.
And now, I’m off to go enjoy the last bit of the weekend!
Ugly meals always taste the best. I love instagram too, although I think I’m going to have to have an intervention with my boyfriend soon who is obsessed with it.
hahaha it’s so addicting! I kept sending my friends stupid instagram pics of anything I could find to photograph. I was getting super annoying 😉
U had me laughing at ugly but delicious… so many of my meals fit this description!! <3
Your ‘ugly’ meals look mighty appetizing to me! 🙂
never thought to add salsa to my veggies! I’m a spicy kinda gal as well!
It’s super delicious and so easy to make!
Lazy unproductive weekends are my favorite. Looks like you had a lot of fun!
Definitely the best thing is “not go to work” I mean, boating and tailgating were fun, but not going into the office takes the cake.
I love delicious but random meals too 😀 Throw everything that sounds good into a bowl and bam, call it a meal!
Ugly meals are sometimes the yummiest!! I think everything looks great 🙂
I often find its the ugliest meals that are the most delicious! I love my mac, but I stuck with a blackberry for my phone. I bet you will love the iphone though 🙂
I definitely think there is a correlation between ugliness and deliciousness 😉
Man i wish my HTC had instagram, I’d go crazy for that app. And for the record, it always seems like ugly meals are the tastiest! It’s a delicious phenomenon haha 😀
Ugly meals have to be the most delicious!
