Hello from San Francisco! Thrilled to be working from home this week, and linking up with Jenn to show you everything that was cooked in my kitchen. These pictures were snapped on Monday.
BREAKFAST
I’ve been on a total smoothie kick recently! This mix had spinach, bananas, plain kefir (probiotics - so important when recovering from a cold!), almond milk, and peanut butter. I’ve been trying to get my body used to more dairy again but it was not so happy after the kefir, even though it’s so low in lactose. Guess I’ll just stick to low-lactose cheeses for now!
I went to a fun workout class in Pacific Heights at Core40 - I had never used anything like a megareformer machine before. Full body strength plus a hilly walk there and back - great workout.
LUNCH
Lunch was my Mediterranean Salad with Crispy Chickpeas, minus the crispy chickpeas. The greens, eggplant, and bell pepper were all from my CSA box. I also added in some of Monday’s receipe of Roasted Carrot and Beet Salad with Pistachios on top. I love that I was planning on having this lunch all week and the farm just delivered these items straight to my door! One salad a day going strong.
SNACKTIME
Hydration was going strong with cranberry kombucha and homemade iced green tea.
Snack time was a juicy pluot (plum + apricot hybrid). Plus a couple of these Frontier Bites a local Bay Area company sent me to sample. These are awesome and I love that they come in re-sealable bags. Their ingredients are so simple (only 8), and they are akin to chewy granola bites. I can easily eat handfuls of granola but these bites made it easy to keep my portions under control. I especially liked the Macadamia Pineapple Coconut ones shown below, but they sent a bunch of other tasty bites. I had more than just pictured here :).
DINNER
Dinner was leftover recipe testing - these collard wraps with baked falafel and tahini coleslaw are so good. I added cucumber and avocado too. We also had roasted purple potatoes (so beautiful!!), squash, and sweet potatoes on the side. And some red wine. Recipe to come later this week!
DESSERT
Dessert were some of these extremely deadly dark chocolate coconut almonds. Keep these AWAY from me! And I had a little more red wine as I typed up this post.
And that was a full day of eats eating from my kitchen! So grateful that I get one week a month working from home - it’s rejuvenating to spend time in my kitchen. And then I doubly enjoy all of the meals I get to have on the road!
Thanks for stopping by! 
I need to find myself some chocolate coconut almonds.
Those collard green wraps look delicious too, we usually just do lettuce wraps, but they make a nice change.

Collards have a really nice thick texture - almost like a real wrap!

Working from home allows you to eat so well!! I’ve never had a plunot, but I need one now! YUM!

Pluots are so bizarre! Even the name is weird.

I bet working from home feels like a dream after 3 weeks of travel! There’s nothing like spending quality time in your own kitchen!

Agreed! I’ve been so happy just experimenting and even whipping up the most basic of foods.

I probably should never, ever get my hands on those dark chocolate almonds…

Yeah…I was upset that the roomie brought them home. But also pleased because they were so delicious
I LOVE working from home and getting to make my own food. it’s always the BEST! and you’re right it totally makes me feel better about being a little lenient when I’m on the road the other 90% of the time.

I just brought lunch to the office today and it was so joyful to be able to make my own bagged lunch!
I love putting my CSA goodies to use. It makes me happy!!
Buttermilk is supposed to be great for folks who are lactose intolerant. It might be worth a shot.
Happy WIAW and thanks for linking up.
I should check out buttermilk! Thanks for sharing!
Your eats look so tasty, Dani! Especially the beets. I think I’m getting to that post next ;). And OH MY. I need those TJ chocolate coconut almonds!
