greetings from week two of funemployment!

 

I am attempting to apply for jobs in California. The only problem is I have approximately zero skillz or qualifications. Under special skills on my resume should read “choreographing outrageously cheesy  and embarrassing dances for co-workers”

I wish there was a job where that was literally all I had to do…

Funemployment means lots of free time.  Unfortunately I go stir crazy with lots of free time and no routine or schedule. I’ve reverted back to my college ways of writing out a super detailed and specific outline of my week. Highlights for this week include: seeing the Dark Knight Rises again (since I fell asleep the first time…), hopefully a beach trip, MY FIRST TRAPEZE CLASS IN 5 MONTHS, a mall excursion, a family outing to see Jimmy Buffett, and of course lots of schweaty workouts.

As always, one of my big goals is to cook more often. I tend to eat out a lot more than I would like to admit. With all this free time, and the humungous kitchen at my parents house, it means I have no excuses.

Here’s what I’ve been eating this week:

a brand new vegan overnight oats recipe

While I love the usual recipe I use, this was a tasty, dairy-free alternative. It’s great for super ripe bananas that are too mushy to be cut up. As always, I added some peanut butter and pb puffins. I also drizzled some extra honey on top. Delicious.

dairy free quesadilla 

quesadillas have always been one of my go-to foods. They are super easy to make and have a lot of fun variations. Since I cut back on the dairy consumption I’ve missed these cheesy treats.

Daiya dairy free cheese is an excellent alternative. Using the mozzarella flavor I made my favorite combination of cheese and sliced turkey with hummus on the side.

I look forward to more experimenting with daiya as a cheese alternative.

chicken francais

the boy and I attempting to make chicken frances once more. While the first time was decently successful and delicious, we wanted to double batter the chicken this time for an even better dish.

yummy success

paired with an appetizer salad and some whole grain linguini it was one awesome dinner.

almond pancakes

I spent all of Spring semester consuming greek yogurt pancakes like it was my job. While I love ’em, they aren’t dairy free. So now I present my new pancake love: PB Finger’s Almond Pancakes.

I’ll warn ya, they are a bit dry, but dipped in maple syrup they are perfect. I’ve been loving these filling bad boys after an intense morning of boot camp. Definitely keeps me full.

 

I’m hoping to have enough “go to” recipes and easy to make dishes that can keep me going in California without relying on take out (although I will have to give in and get some veggie grill sometimes)

any suggestions on what kind of job will allow me to choreograph more cheesy 90’s dances?
