    What I Ate Wednesday + A Tribute to Trevor

    Published Oct 7, 2015 · Modified Nov 8, 2021 · by Alexis Joseph · 10 Comments

    It's one of those days where something really sad happens and the last thing you want to talk about is the stupid kale salad you ate for lunch.

    breakfast

    blueberry cacao smoothie

    Trevor (@trevso_electric) was so funny it hurt. Ever since my friend Maurice introduced me to the social media phenomenon that is Trevor Nathaniel, my phone has been a constant feed of screenshots of his Instagram posts and tweets. I spent more nights than I can count literally laughing out loud at his stuff. Trevor was...is...hands down the funniest person on Instagram.

    toast

    Alchemy toast with pumpkin cashew cream

    He wrote a blog post for me a couple months ago called "Let's Talk About Being a Vegetarian That Doesn't Talk About Being a Vegetarian." He had such pizzazz. He was a different kind of brilliant. We had a thing or two in common. He was a funny Jewish vegetarian. We both adored Maurice. There was a bond there.

    salad

    quinoa and kale + sweet potato black bean chili

    He made the world excited for pumpkin spice lattes not for their flavor, but for their basicness. He made me laugh at myself. He mastered the delicate balance between being hilarious and discretely respectful. He cared about women and didn't relish in making other people feel like crap.

    snack

    Some one could offer me a million dollars to think of content half as clever, witty, original, and hilarious as Trevor's and I'd still walk about broke.

    quinoa bites

    apple quinoa bites (coming soon)

    He was wise, modest, genuine. I watched with a smile as he grew Maurice's following from hundreds to nearly ten thousand. He was always building up other funny people that deserved the spotlight.

    dinner

    spinach artichoke pasta + egg + roasted broccoli + rosemary roasted carrots

    You don't need to leave a comment telling me you're sorry for my loss. I wasn't one of Trevor's close friends or family. We talked on the phone once and texted a handful of times. But as I write this post, the weight of his loss sinks in. It's suffocating to think about losing such good people so very young.

    sp

    always eating half the pan out of the oven

    I know Trevor touched thousands of lives with his unreal sense of humor and damn near perfect personality. He brought lightness into a world that can be so very heavy. I spent most of last night reading notes left on his personal Facebook page, staring at words singing his praise that he will never get to read. Trevor was clearly adored by everyone that knew him, both in real life and through the internet.

    brownies

    three-ingredient brownies

    Laughter is the best medicine, and he was well on his way to curing the world. So instead of commenting, go to his Instagram or Twitter and laugh. Laugh really hard.

    That's what Trev would have wanted.

      His posts were always so funny! He made me day on more than one occasion! So sad that he is no longer here, but seeing all of the posts as tributes to him show how much he was loved!

      When the Oregon shooting happened last week I felt so silly posting about my "Favorites" of the week, because they just seemed so pointless. Death, particularly unexpected death, is so hard to grasp. My heart goes out to everyone who will miss your friend.

      Loss hits so hard - we've had more clients pass in the last three months at work, and it has been rough to answer those phone calls when you know things haven't been going well. Thank you for sharing his links, love. <3
