Everyday Eats 9.14.22

Hi everyone! We recently got back from our trip to West Virginia over Labor Day Weekend. It was SUCH a nice time away! I am quite sad that it is over. I am also pretty much convinced that West Virginia is the most underrated state in the U.S…beautiful mountains + forests + waterfalls, scenic driving, hikes, not very crowded…what more could one want? WV is the only state entirely within a mountain range, so all the driving was constant beauty! Shoutout to Alec for handling the mountain driving like a pro. I would’ve been done for without him!

A few highlights from the trip:

Long Point Trail in New River Gorge with an amazing view of the New River Gorge Bridge at the end of the hike.

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a fabulous week so far. How is it already the end of summer?? I feel like this summer flew by even faster than usual. So far, my August has been filled with the busyness of transitions, work, and business logistics, as well as time outside soaking up the sun and a couple of weekends out of town.

We had the BEST long weekend up north in the Petoskey/Walloon Lake area for my oldest-known friend Ellen’s wedding! It was great spending time with old friends and enjoying the scenery up north.

Group of friends from high school. Shoutout to Ellen, the most stunning bride, and her amazing twin/maid of honor, Anna!

Hi friends! How is the week going so far?? It has been hot and humid in Michigan lately although I can’t say I really mind! Gotta enjoy the warmer weather and sunshine while it lasts.

How is it already almost August? We have been enjoying the past few weekends in AA before we will be heading out of town the first couple weekends in August. One weekend for my grandma’s 90th bday and another weekend up north for my friend’s wedding! Should be a couple of wonderfully summery weekends.

Delicious eats from the past couple weeks!

Happy Wednesday! I have been enjoying soaking in the sunshine each morning.

If I could live somewhere where it was sunny every day I’m pretty sure I would do it. You can’t beat daily sunshine early in the morning in my opinion! I am already mourning the fact that we are past the summer solstice. WHY must it get darker and darker in the morning from now on???

Lettuce get to some delicious eats from the past few weeks!

Happy Wednesday! How is your week going? I have been enjoying the sunshine, longer days, and getting outside early in the morning!

Also, how is it already almost 4th of July weekend? The start of summer seems to be flying! We are headed to my grandparents’ for the weekend and will be enjoying the time on the water and time with family. And of course some delicious food! (Cherry pie and vanilla ice cream, anyone??)

Onto this week’s inspiration for some tasty eats!

We recently went to northern Michigan for a wedding weekend which was a lot of fun! The weather and sunshine were amazing!

Also, in case you missed it, my services are now uploaded to my work with me page!

Onto the delicious eats!

Hello everyone! How has your week been going?? We went camping in Mackinaw City over the weekend which was fun minus the black flies that were swarming all over near the water (apparently they arrived early this year a couple of days before we got there, causing us to miss out on our waterfront campsite! :/). We went hiking and enjoyed the views near the bridge. It was also a bit cold and felt more like fall!

Happy Tuesday! It has been so nice finally having some sun this week after several weeks of cold, rainy, and cloudy weather – such a terrible start to spring! Although now it is supposed to get up into the 80s (at least in Michigan) this week which is a bit hot for May in my opinion!! Can we not just have a few weeks of 60s and low 70s?? But as long as it stays sunny that is most important weather-wise in my opinion! I have enjoyed getting outside in the morning and hopefully catching the sunrise while I am out running or walking. I am also enjoying having some more time for cooking and baking now that I am done with my internship and exam! Here are some tasty eats from the past couple weeks!

Very delicious key lime cheesecake that I made for Mother’s Day! I have never been the biggest fan of key lime pie, but key lime cheesecake was a whole other level!

Happy Wednesday! I just finished my Food Gatherers rotation last week and am now on to five weeks of a clinical inpatient rotation with Michigan Medicine focused on pediatric intensive care nutrition. Second-to-last rotation! On to some delicious eats from the past few weeks.

This smoothie is definitely my new favorite. Actually tastes like a snickerdoodle or tahini date cookie. You must give it a try! I also add a big spoonful of whole milk yogurt and vanilla protein powder. A fabulous way to start the day!

Happy Wednesday! How is your week going? Right now I am doing a rotation with Michigan Medicine’s Comprehensive Eating Disorder Program which I am LOVING because it is so interesting and I am learning a lot! I will have a post next week with some more details on what that has been looking like. I have a lot of delicious food to share with today you to inspire you in the kitchen!

Let us start off with this salad… this is probably my favorite salad that I have ever made! I LOVE fattoush salad – I used to always get it at the poolside grill at this club where we used to keep our family’s boat and I have not had a fattoush salad that I like as much as that one until now… this one was absolutely fabulous! Usually when I make salads I just make up the topping/dressing combinations, and then occasionally, like for this salad, I like to follow a recipe. This salad was made using this fattoush salad recipe. The toasted pita chips and mint dressing were both especially amazing! Note: Costco also has organic authentic Greek feta cheese which also put the salad over the top.
