Carvel: Food Porn?

Here's a lesson for you all:

WHEN FUDGIE THE WHALE SENDS YOU AN E-MAIL, YOU BETTER RESPOND! WORD.

 and now, an '80s food porn flashback:

new beginnings

wow. it's been one hell of a year. 

i've lived. loved, and lost, like any other, but i came to terms with my feelings towards food.
i've learned to enjoy healthy dishes, discern new tastes and sensations, and to just savor food.

as i begin this new year, i've decided to make a promise to myself.

I promise to: 

never settle 

&

take risks!

so here's to another year of fun foodie adventures and new experiences!

cheers.

xo.

thanksgiving (give thanks).

appetizer: toasts with roasted red pepper and eggplant spread from trader joe's.

(with a drizzle of olive oil)

my special vegetarian whole wheat pasta mix!

whole wheat penne + shrimp + asparagus + mushrooms =

deliciousness!

a table set for three ladies

 dinner!

mashed potatoes

and stuffing.

(my fave!)

and my favorite part of dinner,

a colorful salad with pomegranate seeds

tomato

peppers

spinach

and lettuce!

i take pride in my salads.

thanksgiving was fantastic and relaxing!

i hope you all enjoyed yours,

and remembered to give thanks for all you have

and remember the people who don't have a lot.

<3
