Lovely Meals Lately: 02-19-2020

What a whirlwind of a week! Alchemy Meal Prep officially went live Monday and I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off ever since trying to orchestrate the bajillion moving pieces of this new business.

It's been interesting to see how different managing this process feels versus what goes into creating our brick and mortar locations. I'm writing a whole post on Meal Prep tomorrow, so stay tuned! If you want to order in the meantime, use code HUMMUSAPIEN10 for 10% off.

Meals I'm Loving Lately

We tried Rubino's in Bexley for the first time and it was exactly what the reviews said--like you're traveling back in time. The crust is cracker thin which I didn't think I'd like, but I actually loved it. We will definitely be ordering again.

I made the most epic Sheet Pan Cajun Lemon Shrimp, Potatoes, and Vegetables recipe that I cannot wait to share with you all. I was blown away by how good it was! I just got this extra large sheet pan and let me tell you...life changing.

The last of my homemade bread stash with avocado, olive oil, a squeeze of fresh lemon, micro greens, pepper flakes, and salt. Scrambled eggs on the side!

Friday night takeout at Brassica. My bowl had lentils and rice, greens, hummus, baba, marinated eggplant, picked cucumbers and beets, and cumin carrots. Their house made whole wheat pita is a must.

Tuna wraps (posting my fave tuna recipe soon) with white cheddar Hippeas, snap peas, and a pickle.

My amazing friends Simi and Ally hosted a magical bridal shower for me last weekend!

The spread included all my favorites, like quiche, almond and chocolate croissants, a fabulous salad, fresh fruit, Kittie's cupcakes, this delish chocolate cookies with frosting and sprinkles to decorate, and plenty of coffee.

Leftover Pistacia Vera croissant heated in the oven...OMG.

I've been really into chia pudding. First I blend 2 cups of almond milk with ¼ cup cacao powder, a bunch of dates, a splash of vanilla, and a pinch of salt in the Nutribullet.

I whisk the DIY "chocolate milk" in a Tupperware with about half a cup of chia seeds, stirring again after about 20 minutes. It's such a good snack with peanut butter.

Weirdly good with strawberry Lavva yogurt, too.

One of our team members at Alchemy created this badass vegan Bahn Mi sandwich that we'll be releasing on our next menu.

The best chocolate cookie from Northstar that I shared with my niece.

We had a beyond delish Valentine's Day dinner at La Tavola. I ordered one of their specials, which was homemade pappardelle with oyster and porcini mushrooms, sage, and rosemary. Drool.

Breakfast tacos at Alchemy.

Also...lots of unpictured cereal. Have a fab week! I appreciate you!
