Martha's Corn and Turkey Salad (gone clean!)

Along with my new Clean Eating magazine, my 25 year old going on 45 year old ass, got the new Martha Stewart Living magazine. Yes. My mother got the subscription for me and I absolutely adore it! So many crafts – so many delicious recipes – so much inspiration! It’s my once a month, sit at the pool, guilty pleasure to sift through coral infused living rooms and 101 ways to use a flower pot… Yes. I am this lame. And proud of it ;)

More to the point, I found this delectibly simple recipe for Bone in Turkey Breast – and along with it a corresponding recipe for a Corn and Turkey Salad… Simply typing it makes me hunger for it! Cooking the turkey takes, maybe an hour total with cooking, resting and cutting… But the salad assembly in a synch! And who doesn’t love a simple, summer meal? Well I’ll tell you one thing, Martha Stewart and I are on the same page with this one!

Everything tastes like rosemary: Rosemary and Thyme Pita Bread

Music: Mumford & Sons (still...)

Drink: H2ooooooooooHHH!

So after my super easy dinner, emptying the dishwasher, loading the dishwasher, cleaning up around the apartment… I found myself slightly motivated (although Mumford & Sons was still blaring :P).. So I decided to take a swing at the Gracious Pantry’s Rosemary Pita Bread… Looks simple enough I said to myself…

Until I had committed to the thought with less than 3 cups of whole wheat pastry flour on hand…

I thought to myself “Self! You were engineering major! You can handle math!” and decided to take on conversions…

I learned today: As good as you are at math, you can’t make more flour appear in your pantry L

Lazy Thursday... Rosemary Grilled Pork and Asparagus

Music: Mumford & Sons

Drink: boring ol’ water

Feeling less than motivated today (hence the mellllow music), I could not have been happier that this meal was on our schedule tonight. Steve was busy studying for finals and Chili doesn’t have opposable thumbs… so I was on my own. This is one of those evenings I wish it had rained so I had an excuse to curl up on the couch and eat popcorn for dinner… Alas, this city being what it is, it was (unfortunately) sunny and 75 out… So out we went, and on came dinner…

Where was I? Back to the food!

I don’t even know that this deserves a recipe, it’s just that simple. Literally, marinate, cook, eat. Do things in the kitchen get any easier than that? I’ll tell you… not typically…not typically…

However, given this “simplicity” constraint, it is not WOW-OMG-when-can-we-eat-this-again-amazing, but it’s also not holy-crap-throw-that-out-NOW bad… It’s just fine… which sometimes… is just what you are looking for…
