I finally cooked something!
Thank god for friends with easy, healthy cookbooks!
My friend Lindsay wrote a gorgeous cookbook – Nourishing Superfood Bowls – and was kind enough to send me a copy. It is slam-packed with simple, healthy recipes. And the photography… I have serious envy.
In the two days, I’d made two recipes. The first one came together in 5 minutes as promised, and it was absolutely delicious. I couldn’t get enough of the nutritional yeast “cheese” sauce.

The second recipe – a Creamy Avocado Tuna Zoodle Bowl – was equally good, with an avocado cream sauce that was just as addicting. I’m so glad I have extra to add to basically everything I eat tomorrow. I was really curious about how I’d like this healthier tuna salad. I actually used to love tuna salad as a kid, but my mom made hers with LOTS of Hellmann’s mayo (you guy with your Duke’s are just WRONG 😉 ). We always ate ours with apples and pickles in it. Pretty sure my mom was pregnant when she came up with that combo…
Anyway, Lindsay’s healthier version was equally good. I almost followed the recipe exactly! I didn’t have peas so I just tossed on some tomatoes and a few baby carrot and radishes I’d roasted over the weekend instead. I think I could have still added apple. #strangebutgood
Lindsay was also kind enough to offer a giveaway for YOU! To enter, hop over to my Instagram. You won’t want to miss this one. That’s coming from someone that pretty much never follows a recipe.

On to the #WIAW food. Which still involves Lindsay’s food, plus the requisite work meals.
Be sure to link up to Jenn’s WIAW baby at the bottom!
Breakfast:
I made my solo morning cocktail and headed out to work. It was a big morning – our CEO announced out Series C funding! After the announcement/celebration, we continued to celebrate with food.
They brought in breakfast for the company from The Flying Biscuit, which is a famous breakfast staple in Atlanta.
Lunch:
Today’s work lunch was parmesan-crusted chicken and salad. There were also steak and potato options, but if you’ve been following my blog for long you know I abhor potatoes.
I was starving and didn’t take a picture. Good story, right?
Dinner:
Dinner was the tuna deliciousness from Lindsay. Her picture is prettier.

I know I’ve said it before, but THIS is the weekend I make a recipe of my own. I did really get my hair done last weekend though!
Can you follow a recipe? I have a hard time not off-roading.
Does your office celebrate with food? It was love at first bite with my company.
I can’t follow a recipe, ever! What is the fun in that. I take all recipes as ideas.
Since my office is just me, Hell yeah I celebrate with food!
I’m right there with you! They’re like a jumping off point. Lindsay is basically my only exception. And Julia Child.
What a great idea for a cookbook! Your creations are gorgeous and look delicious : )
I’m so not good about following recipes—that’s why I love superfood bowls.
Thank you!!! Lindsay makes it easy. 😉
Mmmm bowls. Everything tastes better in a bowl. Especially when it takes 5 minutes to make. My dad also made some damn good tuna sandwiches when I was little. I’ve never been able to create them since.
That funny your dad made the sandwiches. The only thing I remember mine making is cereal. LOL!
Healthy bowls are my go to! I love finding new ways to make them. The cookbook sounds fantastic
It’s such a gorgeous book. You’d also appreciate all of the vegetarian options!
OMG I love the Flying Biscuit! It’s one of my “must visit” places in Atlanta.
I live 4 blocks from it, but I never go. The line is always so long! That made it super nice to have it brought in!
Haha dukes. Great reference bro! I like the apple idea! And ya, that sauce is so good. I put it on pizza .🙄 love you!!
That’s such a good idea! I’m making it again this week. You are such a rockstar. Love you too, brother.
I am the anti recipe person. I’m too much of a “cook”–even when I am baking I eyeball everything after the flour!
How can you eyeball flour???
YUM, I’m all about nourishing superfood bowls. That zucchetti bowl looks & sounds delicious!
You’d have LOVED it! So much nutritional yeast.
Lindsay’s photography is amazing. I feel healthy just looking at the book.
Me too! Does that work?
Tea and coffee was about as much as any company I have worked with provide. And not fancy coffee either… The instant stuff! I’m so glad you are taking advantage of all they provide – damn good food!
All of Lindsay’s bowls look incredible – that ‘cheese’ sauce… Yum!
This is by far the most food I’ve ever been provided at a company. One had a fruit bowl… but that was it. I’m in heaven.
