Food Do's

Since coming home from college for the summer I have been obsessed with all things food.
TBH, obsessed is a bit of an understatement..
But I mean seriously, who can blame me after nine months of the same d-hall food over and over.
All year I pinned hundreds thousands of beautiful looking food with recipes I was dying to try.
I have done a few of them, but usually I end up making my meals from random ingredients left around my house.
Here are a few of the noteworthy ones (and some meals out I just had to share pictures of).


++ The Best Kale Salad ++ 


DRESSING -->
1. Poor Honey Dijon dressing into a bowl (choose the amount based on how much dressing you need for the salad, since this is the primary ingredient)
2. Poor a smaller, but still significant amount of Extra Virgin Olive Oil in the same bowl
3. Followed by the same amount, (or less, if you don't like the taste) of Red Wine Vinegar
4. Top of with some lemon juice
5. Mix until all liquids are blended together

SALAD -->
1. Take fresh kale and poor the amount you want into a bowl (I choose organic)
2. Take goat cheese and toss it into the bowl based on how much you desire
3. Cut up half a cucumber and cut the individual pieces into four, and throw those in
4. Choose a type of meat, I've done turkey, chicken, shrimp, and salmon
5. Poor the dressing and toss it all with a fork 
VOILA !! 


 ++ The Breakfast Club ++

(My mouth waters just looking at it)

1. Throw two eggs in the frying pan and cook them until the ends are a golden brown
2. Toast two pieces of whole wheat bread
3. Cut up an avocado ... Slice up 1/2 of it, and mash up the other half for different textures and place each half one piece of bread
4. Cut the sunny side up eggs in half and put one on each of the bread pieces
5. Add sea salt, pepper, and chile powder for flavor
6. Add fruit for a small side and here is the most fabulous breakfast.. it keeps you very full too! 


++ Suja Juices for Snacks ++


I, personally, could never survive a juice cleanse because my food is my other half.. but these Suja Juices are the most perfect snacks for a day spent running around. 


++ Ahi Carpaccio ++


Unfortunately, this is not my own work, but I know they have a decent amount of Cheesecake Factory's around the world and I just needed to share this with everyone. It is, legit, to die for. For a few days after my taste buds say a big "F YOU" to all other foods. It's just that good.
