Monster Cabbage.

Hello!! Hello!!

B+B is still not functioning 100% —but tomorrow is supposed to be THE DAY that it gets fixed—FINGERS CROSSED!!

I heart blogging + I heart MOLLY for sending me fun fun antioxidant packed POM WONDERFUL ICED COFFEE –It totally saved my afternoon!!

More info on the delish drink to come–I totally walked out the door + forgot to bring the reading material that goes along with it!!

Gorgey + Fun!!

The iced coffee SAVED THE DAY –after this beautiful blue eye mask STOLE TWO + 1/2 HOURS of my life this afternoon–

Sweet. Sweet. Sleep.

Delicious. Delicious. Coffee. Drink.

I decided to spice it up with FUN FUN treats that I picked up this afternoon.

I am SPOILED ROTTEN when it comes to coffee–One of my most favorite parts of the day is COFFEE TIME–It involves ———–>

DELICIOUS PORT CITY JAVA COFFEE BEANS + A LOVELY FRENCH PRESS + THE BEST COFFEE MUGS IN THE WORLD

Delicious + Delicious = DELICIOUS

I was famished from taking my nap —huge kcal burning activity I’m sure [not] —And was suuuuuuuuPer excited to find this in the fridge——>

PATRICK made this yummalicious summer salad —It totally tasted like a southern summer in your mouth.

So. Refreshing.

Glamour shot.

Then I decided to tackle this HUGE cabbage that my dad totally pawned off on us at the beach last weekend——

Please note the little mermaid deck of cards in a failed attempt to show the size of this MONSTER.

Attempt #2 to show the massiveness of the cabbage. Failed again.

In hind sight I should have just taken a picture of it in the fridge–It took up the WHOLE veggie drawer!!

Vegetable Soup Time!!

• onion–sautee with EVOO in a massive pot + a dash of salt for a few minutes
• add chopped potatoes–cover + cook on medium for 4 minutes
• add broth of choice–adding enough to cover onions + potatoes + simmer for 5-6 minutes
• add can of tomato puree or paste–in between each step allow pot to come back to a simmer
• add frozen mixed veggies
• add frozen gumbo veggies
• add cabbage
• add more broth
• add fresh tomatoes
• add canned diced tomatoes + juice
• season!! I used celtic sea salt + sriracha
• simmer for a few more minutes
• so simple + so good

THANKS FOR THE RECIPE DAD!!

Again–I failed to do the cabbage justice–This mound was only 1/2 of the head of cabbage!!

The soup cooling + packing station.

If anyone in Charlotte wants veggie soup—Please call me!! For reals.

I moved the party outside to enjoy a fancy [false] + delicious [true] glass of $2 buck chuck Australian chardonnay + soup + book

Super fun until the mosquitoes tried to carry me away–Now I listen to Dan Deacon + do homework.

love. love. love.
