More from the easy files.

Sometimes i just crave greens and potatoes doused in olive oil--a habit i picked up from my parents. We got some kale just in time to satisfy my craving!

The man friend made himself a heartier meal with seitan, kale, almonds, and chives.

Tomatoes at the store looked good that day, so we picked some up and chopped up some squash, spring onions, eggplant, peppers, etc. and made a very tasty gazpacho (with olive garnish).

holy shit amazing.

I was a little worried about the cabbage we'd gotten--not a big cabbage eater, so didn't really know what to do with it. Apparently, people stuff it. So we read a few recipes and concocted a vegetarian one. It was good, but should've been saucier.

Found an amazing recipe for a stir fry with baked tofu and all I can remember is that i think there was coconut milk in the sauce. Hope i can find it again!

food coma.
