What’s inside my makeup bag (cruelty-free)

I recently did a poll on my Insta Stories to see if you would be interested in a “what’s inside my makeup bag” post, and 95% of you said “heck yes!!!”, so here it is! Putting this post together has also been a good way of filling the lack of recipe creation lately. I’m currently […] from Oh She Glows https://ift.tt/2Lq5pkx Angela (Oh She Glows) July 27, 2018 at 10:00AM

Loaded Summer Veg Burger with Fried Egg

Image
Post sponsored by Pete and Gerry's Organic Eggs. See below for more details. I feel like I've truly hit adulthood in the past few years, marked by a love of runny eggs. I could easily eat a ghee-fried egg and toast for breakfast every morning, just swap in and out some fresh produce depending on the season. While I know runny eggs aren't for everyone, for me they are the highlight of a meal. Beyond just the egg, I've been fascinated by the concept of putting eggs on items that don't traditionally get eggs. For breakfast, a solid bowl of oats topped with an egg is the perfect savory way to start your day. For lunch, salads are always a good option. And for dinner, pizza with a fried egg or my new favorite, this loaded veg burger. There's a couple things going on with this burger. I use grilled vegetables to make a smoky sauce as the base. The arugula adds a nice peppery flavor, and the zucchini brings a great way to add more vegetables. Best of all, the bur...

Super Green Juice

Image
Everyone should have a green juice recipe in their repertoire, and this one is a ringer. Its heart and soul is straight green, not at all sweet, with a good amount of lemon-lime tang, and invigorating ginger lift. Like many green juices, it makes you sing from the inside, and is reason enough to invest in a juicer, or dust one off. When I traveled to Paris last year, I spent a beautiful first day and night there, then came down with a (particularly miserable) cold – throat on fire, raspy cough. Being sick away from home is hard, being sick in a city like Paris, when you’re there for just a short time, is spiritually deflating. So, in preparation for my most recent trip , I became a vigilant hand-washing, snotty three-year avoiding, soup eating individual with a juicer on the counter. I religiously drank a glass of this green juice every day, punctuated with a gingery version of this turmeric tea a few times along the way. It’s a variation on one of the (many) green juices highligh...

PIZZA DOUGH

Image
Not to be bossy, but you need to read the notes and the recipe all the way through. Lots of words, but I've messed this up enough times that I want to pass down everything I've learned by trial and error of making pizza at home. I typically don’t do fussy, but there are a few steps here and the wait times between them are worth noting before you start. Nothing is difficult, but it's worth a heads up before you jump in. I know, I’m asking you to plan ahead a day, ideally two if you can stand it... As it sits, the dough ferments, which is the element that adds flavor to a simple mixture of flour, water and yeast. The only way to impart flavor into something as simple as plain pizza dough is time, so while it will still work if you use it a few hours later, it tastes better, and there are more air bubbles the next day and it is best the day after that. The upside of that wait time is how quickly it comes together in the first place. Prep it Sunday, for pizza on Tuesday nigh...

Green Falafel Bowl

Image
No surprise, the cornerstone of this recipe is the golden-crusted, spinach falafel. If you look at the photo, you’ll see the pan-seared patties hanging out in the 5 o’clock position. They’re crusted, golden, browned on the outside, tender and lemon-flecked on the inside. They’re also packed with good-for-you spinach and chickpeas. I make them in big batches, freeze them, and eat them (allll the time) as snacks, or in bowls like these. Falafel at the Center If you have the falafel, you can pull together a pretty good snack or meal. It could be something along the lines of what you see here, or something different based on what you have on hand. I had some hummus in the fridge (a red beet version of this hummus ), some kale, carrots, and cucumber that needed to be used, and some pita. Also, some herb stragglers. The pita and carrots went into the oven, I cooked the falafel in a skillet, and chopped up the rest. Let’s say you didn’t have any of that, but you did have some romaine, yogu...

Grilled Pear Halloumi Salad

Image
Post sponsored by California Pear. See below for more details. There's nothing quite like the feeling of driving down interstate 5 from Sacramento and seeing all the produce grown. It can be humbling to drive among the various orchards and realize just how much produce is produced on the valley floor. I'm excited to partner again with California Pear for the harvest season. I'll be highlighting a few new pear recipes this season. About 60 multi-generational family farms will produce about 2 million 36-pound boxes of Bartlett pears and 500,000 boxes of a variety of California-grown pears, including Seckel, Bosc, French Butter, and Comice. The California Pear season is officially under way, making these pears the first U.S. pears to hit the market. I know pears are usually thought of as a fall treat but having them in July is pretty magical (like in this grilled pear salad!) When you head into your grocery store, be sure to look for the label 'California Grown' to...
