just quichey

Last night, I got a wonderful homecooked meal from my lovely madre. I'm going to miss this kinda food so much when I go to school. Haha, my mom was a little flustered that I was taking pics of her dishes and planning to post them up on the intarwebs as she insisted she threw this stuff together rather haphazardly and that it was nothing special and nothing to show off to anyone. Whatev, ma, everything you make tastes like heaven to me :).

Marinated eggplant, leafy Chinese greens, and sweet and sour cod :9 A simple (and really healthy!!!) meal.

My measly contribution: stuck a couple sweet potatoes in the oven.

I looove sweet potatoes; apparently they're also the healthiest vegetable evar. We always get either the yellow or purple ones from the Asian market. They're so sweeet and soft and fluffy...

After dinner there was more fruit massacreing and we lost another scrumptious Asian pear to some voracious monster in our house...

My sister took my camera to school today (something with her photo class) so alas, I didn't get to document my breakfast and lunch. The morning started with a beautiful little sweet potato leftover from last night, and a bananer with a heaping glop of almond butter. Yumyum.

Lunch was EPIC! But sadly, I didn't get a pic of it.... it involved a tortilla, garden burger patty, hot salsa, and goat cheese though ;). There was also maybe some chocolate noshing afterwards...

And then I sat around in foodcoma and doodled a bit...gah I haven't drawn anything in so long, it felt a little foreign.

You can totally tell where I started getting lazy....

Feeling a little unhappy with myself for sitting on my bum all day, I decided to go for another run. I stuck to the shaded woodsy paths today and cranked out a sweaty 2.65 miles. Blah, still haven't got it back because I still felt pretty miserable doing it haha.

Browsing around on the internet and blogosphere, I was hit with inspiration for dinner (I'm in charge of feeding my dad + sis tonight since my mom is coming home late). I went to the grocery store, picked up a pie crust and made a modified version of this baby, a savory onion tart. I added turkey to the mix and seasoned with garlic powder, pepper, salt, dried basil, rosemary, and a little oregano.

In all its pre-oven glory!

And then it went into the oven 390F and stayed there for about an hour. I also stuck our remaining sweet potatoes (including some of my fave PURPLEY ones) into the oven to cook as well.

What a beaaauuutiful color! Sweet and perfect.

Aaaand, my tart! It smelled really good...

More food porn. Who wants some?

My tart came out pretty decently! It tasted spectacular but the bottom part of the crust was a little too soggy and the quichey part wasn't as firm as I had expected either. Nevertheless, my sister and dad gobbled it up enthusiastically! Success!

Well, I now am off to have dinner with some of my favorite girls in the world now! We're hitting up this place for some Greek food. Mmmmm, loooove Greek food, I'm excited. Cheers!
