Foodie Update

Summer is such a fun time to just whip things up simply. SO I put on my favorite apron and got to it.

I made the famed chocolate chip cookies again and they were great. If you haven't done it, make them, it's worth the wait. I follow Orangette's version and have not been disappointed (though I plan to add nuts to the next batch). The best part is sharing them because everyone is so happy to get cookies!

I've been sipping on this tea (in my new teapot from Tortoise). It's a mix of jasmine tea that I bought in china with actual rosebuds (I bought them in China too, they're meant to be made in a tea). It's just mild and sweet enough for a summer day. Next I want to make it iced.


I'm one of those people that can eat the same thing every day of the week for weeks, finally tire of it and find something else that I eat for weeks. Right now for breakfast it's granola fro Trader Joes with lowfat yogurt.

And my go-to lunch: a mix of fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, basil and some vinaigrette (and here some avocado). The best part is the vainaigrette and the fresh basil. Sometimes i add cucumbers and sometimes i omit the cheese, but I probably eat some version of this 4-5 days a week.

What have you been eating this summer?
