Tuesday

Attending college has taught me a few things in my lifetime: The Freshman 15 is very accurate. It is very possible to write a paper the night before its due and get an A on it. And always, always, take advantage of discount days. Taco Tuesdays. Greek Sundays at Moe’s. $5 pizzas at Dominoes. Fast forward two years and have I forgotten these golden nuggets of wisdom? Heck no! If anything, the last nugget is still very relevant today (see: Monday). We’ve just upgraded from $5 foot longs to $6 oyster dozens at The Fish Co. I can’t believe I’ve been sleep on them! They’re 5 minutes from  Atlantic Beach and have oysters by the tons. Which is a good idea since the wait was an hour for a table.


Their shrimp dip and oyster shooters made it all better though.

             

  

Then this happened.

And that was all she wrote.

Sunday

This weekend my parents and co. went on a couples’ trip to the mountains. SN: I can’t wait to get a real boo just to go on these trips that my family raves about.  This prompted me to play babysitter/homemaker, successfully making two new recipes. The first was granola. On my lifelong journey of becoming vegan, I figured granola was a good starting point. I found this recipe on good ole Pinterest, but made it my own based on the ingredients I had at home.

The recipe was simple: mix all wet and dry ingredients separately; then combine it all in one bowl and spread on a cookie sheet.

                                                 

Bake for 45 minutes and then let it cool. The results: crunchy, savory greatness. This barely lasted the week!!

Then, for dinner, I made seafood enchiladas. My mom made them a few weeks back and…well, don’t they say the best form of flattery is imitation?

I made my own variation of sofrito and added alfredo sauce, shrimp and crab.            

Now. At this point, the pot looked so good, I was tempted to stop cooking right then. We could’ve skipped the extra 30 or so more minutes it would’ve taken to finish the meal and just ate straight out of the pot. But alas, the chef in me wouldn’t let that be, so I trudged on. The hardest part was assembling them because the temptation was strong. We even went Live to document the process.

In the end, we barely let it cool before devouring it. The only change I would make is substituting the tortillas for lasagna noodles. Anyway, it was the bomb.com.

I may be onto something with this cooking thing..
