This is a sneak peak what we have been up to. We have been trying to redefine what salads mean to us. I have a hate hate relationship with sales. I hate what feels like and looks like diet(y) salads. I want to feel full after a meal. Not craving the next time I can have another bite. I know salads are suppose to be light but can they be filling too? And I don’t want salads to blur the line of junk food and healthy food either. I can’t endorse a junky salad. It truly defeats the purpose. Which is why Cooking Maniac is kinda sans salads as of late. But that is all changing right now.

So built this salad JUST to use up my mung beans. They are so worth it. So delicious.

So we’ve been living that pajamas life as of lately. Abdel and I recently decided that we were going all in on what seems like a never ending task. We are going to watch every documentary on Netflix. We don’t drink so I can’t blame it on alcohol. I don’t know why we did it because now I feel like I am too woke. Hahaha! This Summer Harvest Sorghum Salad recipe has sweet ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce creamy goat cheese & toasted cashews covered in creamy curry dressing. But every night we watch a documentary while working on our side job ( in my case this blog and in his case- he is going to launch a blog). I don’t know why we decided to launch another blog. I was just getting time to wash my hair and read books again. But this is fun. So he wants to join in on the fun/ stress/frustration that you aren’t great at everything. I promise for 2018 I am not going to pick such consuming endeavors.
