Full disclosure, I’m not a lentil guy; so much so that honestly, I’m not entirely sure what they are or how they’re grown. But part of dealing with having a basic palate is admitting as much, and from there I can grow, like lentils do on trees right? 1 cup brown lentils, picked over, rinsed, […]
– Puttanesca Seitan And Spinach Salad
I don’t know what the first word means, I think I’ve heard of the second, and sometimes I’ll have spinach in my romaine salads. That said, I’m sure this is the bee’s knees as dishes (?) goes, so please enjoy! 4 tablespoons olive oil 8 ounces seitan, homemade or storebought, cut into 1⁄2-inch strips 3 […]
– Basic Bruschetta
Now this is definitely more in Matty’s wheelhouse… Which is to say, like, there are components of brushetta I like, just not all together. However it’s the basic part of this recipe that I’m a fan of, as that’s the general path my eating habits take. 4 to 6 thick slices Italian bread Olive oil, […]
– Marinated Mushroom Wraps
“Hey, yeah no I’m good… Thank you though, it looks so… So mushroomy.” Is about the response I’d give if someone were to offer me this dish. Essentially becuase, if I can see part of this recipe growing in the middle of my lawn outback after a few rainstorms in the summer, I’ve already checked […]
– Granola-Infused Oatmeal
You know, I’m not really an oatmeal guy… Reminds me of being a kid in the winter with no cereal or milk in the house, and this was the only alternative… With an inch thick of dust on top of the container, I would look and sigh, wondering if snowy grass outback would be a […]
– Tempeh-Pimiento Cheese Ball
There’s not much I can say about this… I know there’s a Tempe Arizona, I remember not liking Pimiento loaf as a kid, or as an adult, and cheese is okay I guess if jacked. Now if that doesn’t make sense no worries, this delicious recipe will! 8 ounces tempeh, cut into 1⁄2-inch pieces 1 […]
– Cherry Peppers Stuffed With Sun-Dried
Yep, definitely going to eat this. For. Sure. Seriously though; I like Cherry Dr. Pepper, peppers in chipotle sauce form, tomatoes when they’re called ketchup, and no salt peanuts… This recipe though? Well, let’s just hope it combines better than what I like! 1 (16-ounce) jar hot or mild cherry peppers, drained 2 tablespoons olive […]
– Basic Vegetable Fritters
Brace yourself, but I’m a little iffy on what a fritter is; and how it couples with basic vegetables. But I’m open to learning new things and all, it being a new year and the like. So there you go, 2021 right?! 2 cups raw, grated, or cooked mashed vegetables 1⁄4 cup grated onion or […]
^ The Energy In Your Household
As I continue to learn from and absorb the signs from the universe, there are some lessons that I’ve taken to heart along the way. For example, coming from a big family and being an observer by nature, I’ve developed an ironic knack in observing the energy we all grow up with; ironic due in […]
^ Jersey Traffic; Gets You Every Time
Do you ever really stop learning in life? I’m genuinely curious, because I really hope I’m the rule and not the exception in this regard. There’s the more typical methods of education and life experience, and or the one’s you explore on your own whether that’s through art hobbies nature etc. Or, for better and […]
^ This Is Not the Headspace I want to Em...
Well it’s been a minute since this section last had a new post; so while ignoring my attempt to sound like I’m at least a decade younger than I am, let’s focus on this new post. It made the rounds on some really awesome positivity blogs, and for that I’m always grateful for the opportunity. […]
^ Experiencing Positive Through the Nega...
I’ve been finding that if I can’t work my basic palate into a post, at the least I have to see where I can shoehorn a reference to Jersey, where I’m from and currently living. And it’s one thing to do it in my normal observational \ humorous \ sarcastic posts here or even in […]
