Tofu Noodle Soup


The roller coster changes in weather has been getting to me lately, giving me terrible congestion. Do you remember my Sinus Clearing Soup way back when? Well this is a little different rendition of it, using the Thai Kitchen brand- but this time I used Green Onion (my new favorite) and BEET GREENS! I fell in love with these when Annna from Dolce Vita introduced me to the fact that you can actually eat them! My roommate had beets, and when I found this out, I instantly attacked on the greens. This recipe is soo simple- it's extraordinarily semi homemade, and you could even make this on a low budget and in a dorm room! With 2 days left until Thanksgiving break, the last thing I wanted to do was buy unnecessary things- so I whipped this up from what I have in my pantry; and it tasted AMAZING :]

Spicy Tofu Noodle Soup
glutenfree~vegan~semihomemade~quick&easy
1 bag of Thai Kitchen Green Onion Instant Rice Noodle Soup
1 cup vegetable broth or water
1/2 block sprouted extra-firm tofu, cubed
1 bunch beet greens (from one bunch of beets)
1/4 jar Miso Horseradish Kimchi (this can be optional- but you can find it at Wegmans in healthy aisle!)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon sriracha (you can make less if you don't want it as spicy)

1. First, saute the tofu in the olive oil until there's slight color. Next, add in your Kimchi and beet greens and saute until the beet greens are wilted.
2. Add in your vegetable broth and water and bring to a boil.
3. Add in the Rice noodles, the packets from the rice noodles, and let it cook for ~ 3 minutes!
DONE! :]

Homemade Guacamole



It's crazy- in less than a week I will be back at Penn State for my final semester. I cannot believe the fact that I will be a graduate from college in a few months! Not only that, but this summer went by too fast. 

I picked some of the CUTEST onions from my little garden I have. They are so precious! And they are so packed with flavor that I know now why they are called sweet onions! With my onions, I decided to make a simple, yet decadent homemade guacamole. It was so simple, so easy, and my mom is so in love with it that she has already asked me to make it 4 times more! 















Homemade Guacamole
- 4 guacamoles, pitted and cubed
- 2 heirloom tomatoes, diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro
- 1 whole red onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon himalayan sea salt
- Juice of 2 limes

add all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mash with a potato masher. serve!

ALSO! My friend rescued a cat yesterday! My friend found this kitten, named monsieur smelly, and brought it into his home. He brought him in, fed him for the night, and then the next morning I went over and searched around for a place for this cat, asked everywhere, and finally I found someone kind enough to take in monsieur smelly. I'm so grateful for this person to give this itty bitty kitty a home!
