Vegas claims not to like leftovers.
Both of us used to compete basically constantly ate leftovers.
At the prime of my meal prep, I was eating leftovers 7 meals a day, 7 days a week. I got used to it. Vegas got sick of it. She claims not to like leftovers.
Until I put them in front of her…

Soup in August?
When you’re sick, that’s a must.
The recipe I’m going to share today is for a hot soup often referred to as Jewish Penicillin… with my own special twist. It’s a roasted Garlic Matzo Ball Chicken Soup.
Vegas caught a summer cold. How you can get a cold in the summer, I have no idea… but it happens to me about once a year. And apparently to Vegas. I decided to cure her with a big bowl of Matzo Ball Chicken Soup.

I’m a snack junkie.
If I’m honest I’d rather snack and have a meal.
If you’re a snacker like me, you can imagine my excitement when I received a GIANT box of jerky from Jack Link’s. Turkey jerky, teriyaki turkey jerky, chicken jerky… it is basically outdoor snacking deliciousness.
And by outdoors, I don’t just mean sports (though Vegas and my favorite softball snack is jerky).

It’s been one of those weeks.
I’m not really sure what day it is…
I started the week in San Diego, now I’m in Vegas, and I’m driving back to San Diego tonight. What’s more confusing is that this weekend in San Diego it POURED down rain. I thought it wasn’t supposed to rain in paradise?! (Actually this is a good thing since California is having a drought.)
It was also Pride weekend, so I watched the wet hot mess from a bar.

We all learned to share in pre-school.
Some of us learned better than others…
I’m alright at it… until it’s food.
…
My mom and baby sister are here.
Watch out San Diego!
I haven’t seen my family since leaving Atlanta in February. I’ve been looking forward to having my mom and one of my sisters here for weeks! Naturally, the first thing I did way try to kill them with an 8 mile hike in 90 degree temps.

Any holiday that involves good food is my favorite.
Bonus if it includes fireworks.
This 4th of July I have no clue what we will do… it’s my first not in Atlanta. Usually I run the Peachtree Road Race… maybe I’ll run my own 10K? Or maybe I’ll just have a marathon cooking session…
Either way, below are a bunch of recipes that I think would make for a tasty 4th, whether you are home or away, American or just like delicious food!
Oh yeah… and this happened:
SCOTUS marriage equality ruling

I’m large and in charge!
Vegas is out of town – watch out.
That’s right. I’m without supervision this week. Not just because Vegas is gone though – I’m also hosting Jen’s What I Ate Wednesday!
And I made myself bacon.
