A Hearty Challah

Stress has got the best of my sleeping, but I'm looking forward to a visit from my parents this weekend :) I'll have a lot to post, but for now I leave you with an awesome whole wheat challah that will be featured at brunch tomorrow. Whaddya know, it's even vegan!!




I also have to tell you about the lunch I threw together today, but no picture because I didn't have time to find batteries this morning. Imagine this: baby spinach, 1 pouch mango chipotle salmon, ~1c cooked wheat berries, leftover roasted eggplant and sweet potato (prob ~2T each), the butt of a red pepper diced, and goat cheese (~1oz). Warmed up just a little bit, mixed all together, it was pretty delicious!! And random :) Talk about cleaning out the fridge!

  28. Your Challah looks perfect, and I loved the random salad. Sometimes you get the most amazing meals by just throwing all your leftovers in into one big bowl! Hope you had a nice visit with your parents.
