Plugging @justinesnacks.bsky.social! Made this INCREDIBLE halibut with sungold tomatoes tonight and it’s 10/10. Recipe here: justinesnacks.com/breaded-hali...
Plate with a piece of halibut over stewed tomatoes topped with basil & crispy breadcrumbs, next to a fluffy fresh leaf lettuce salad!

It’s salad season!!! Only in spring/summer do I make elaborate salads with homemade dressing. I get a lot of inspo from the cookbook Six Seasons, if anyone wants a recommendation!

This salad is: arugula, salad turnips, radishes, orange, and avocado over labneh, with a citrus dressing & poppyseeds.

Current reread: The Jasmine Throne! Just as gorgeous the second time around. I’m rereading this and the second one before I finish the series and read the third!

An easy 5/5 stars for the INCREDIBLE The River Has Roots (the magic! The mystery! The romance! The sisters!) by @amalelmohtar.com. (Wynonna gives it a 1/5 because I wouldn’t let her eat it.)
The River Has Roots book by Amal El-Mohtar open to page 45. Husky in the background wants to lick the book and is upset she is not allowed

Today in figuring out what I like to eat for breakfast, I’m on a soft boiled egg kick. Pictured: kimchi, cucumbers, prosciutto, toasted onion bread, soft boiled eggs 🍳

I love a non-traditional breakfast, and we made this squash congee for dinner the other day. Today, I had it for brekkie with an egg poached in it. 10/10.

A ceramic bowl of golden orange congee with a poached egg hiding in there. Sprinkles of green onion. I’m aiming to be a leftover queen and succeeding.

In our newsletters, we mention what we’re reading, eating, & drinking these days. I just finished A Psalm for the Wild-Built, which was a beautiful read and I’d highly recommend!

Nothing poignant to say, but I always want to share how perfect my dog is
