In exactly a week and one day I will be ON SPRING BREAK DEAR GOD I CANNOT WAIT. This quarter has been bruuuutallllll. (I am not cut out for winter! Why do I live in Chicago again?) So glad to see it coming to and end.
Bring on sunshine and spring!
On to the eats!
As usual, thanks to Jenn for hosting.
I didn’t make a ton of new recipes from my list like last week, but I did make Karey’s kabocha squash
And I used the leftover squash (which was actually acorn- I couldn’t find kabocha) to make stuffed squash:
(stuffed with onion+tomato sauce+ ground beef)
I also made an AWESOME stir-fry last night with my girlfraannds:
Seriously so good. Onion + Chicken + Broccoli + Peppers + Liquid aminos +Spices + Sesame seed= Perfection.
I still have a TON of studying to do, but I’m finished with all my big projects, papers, and presentations, so I’m already starting to feel better. Plus something about the air smells like spring right now and it feels a bit like a weight has been lifted off me.
…You know I’ll probably be down this weekend with all the studying I have to do, but I think I’m just going to chant this to myself when I start feeling sad:
Good god I love her. You should watch this video if you A) like Karen from Will and Grace or B) Need a chuckle or C) All of the above.
that show will never get old, such a great standby. that and friends.
Totaaallllyyyy
Ahh I love Will and Grace. Classic. Need to watch that again sometime.
I’d never think to have squash for breakfast, but that photo makes me really want to to try it! Looks really good.
Yes winter needs to end. I’m so fed up of wearing gloves my hands have forgotten what sunshine looks like.
Hahaha omg, me too. I need winter to be overrrr. And squash is delicious at any time of the day to me
ahhhh soooo clooooose. The end of the semester is always the most horrible. You’re almost there, girl!
I knowww. Midterms and finals week always suck!
I always forget to use sesame seeds when I cook a stir-fry! Thanks for the reminder
Same! I’ve actually had sesame seeds in my pantry foreverrrr, so it felt good to finally remember to use them.
That is some serious squash porn girl!! You’re making me drool! I WANT that first meal right now!! haha Good luck with the rest of the week!
hahaha it was so goood! thanks
The first pic of your squash, looks heavenly! I will have to try it sometime.
Thanks! It was so good
.
All of your food looks soooooo good! Good luck on finals!
Thanks love. Good luck with midterms!
Omg sean hayes was on smash the past two weeks and i was in heaven…i miss will and grace
almost there girl!! I know that you can do it! And i couldn’t agree more..spring is definitely in the air and making life better!
I’ve decided that I need to rewatch all of will and grace. And thanks! So close.
I never watched Will and Grace much, but that video cracked me up!
I still think that acorn squash recipe sounds amazing
I know, I need to get more squash cuz it was so good. Mmmm. And I’ve decided to reward Will and Grace because I can barely remember any of it since I watched it when I was younger
Will and Grace was the best show!! So funny! Can’t wait for spring break either–just need this Chicago weather to work itself out!
I know!! At least it’s sunny today even if it’s cold.
Good luck with all the studying- your almost to break time!
Thanks Alex!
Woo spring break! And I feel your pain…I am totally not cut out for winter either, but I don’t think Michigan really cares about that….
Hahaha, I don’t think Chicago does either!
I LOVE kabocha squash!!! I’m not an acorn squash fan though… not sure why, it’s the only squash I don’t like very much!
I’ve heard that from a lot of people actually! I need to get my hands on kabocha- I’ve never been able to find it!
spring break is sooooooooo soon yayay ! simple stirfrysss are the best.. it looks so good.. i still havent tried stuff squash i really need to get on that !

I’m digging the asparagus, and I love a good stir fry. One pot wonders.

Haha that last part was too funny. Yay for spring break!!!! That melty almond butter looks awesome…
I’ve been diggin melty almond butter lately
That stir-fry looks so incredibly healthy! Yum!!
thanks!
I have never had kabocha before. I definitely need to try it after seeing your pictures. Totally drooling right now!
I actually haven’t had it either! I couldn’t find it so I substituted acorn squash, but I’m dying to get my hands on kabocha.
I don’t know how you handle the cold either! It is amazing! Good luck with the studying!
I don’t even know.. I am.. tough? hahaha
The acorn squash looks amazing! Did you top it with almond butter?
Thanks! And yup- filled with Greek yogurt mixed with pb2 and topped with melty almond butter. (drooling just typing that…)
YUM! We are definitely going to try this combo sometime soon! Thanks for letting us know!
Thanks again for featuring my squash!
I had some kabocha last night, yum!!
Can’t believe you’re so close to your FL trip! That’s ALL I think about right now…. I am NOT cut out for this climate again either. I didn’t realize you lived in Chicago either! Love that city!
You’re very welcome! I love the idea and will be eating it again for sure. I need to get my hands on kabocha though! And uhhhg I know, I am literally completely packed even though I have two weeks until I’m actually there hahaha.
And yup! Love this city. the banner for my blog is actually the view from my apartment window last year
yummy! looks so good. I think I need to try squash, but as you know I am in my spinach rut lol
Hahaha well I definitely recommend trying this to get out of your rut!!
I haven’t watched Will and Grace in forever! Used to be a total standby for re-runs, I miss it!
Same! It’s been way too long. Also, after I posted this Will and Grace came on the channel I was watching- it was actually a little freaky, but so awesome!
That stuffed squash looks super duper tasty!
Good luck with all of that studying!!
Thanks!
Your squash looks delish! And so does your stir fry!
thanks!
That stir fry looks delicious! Do you have anything planned or your Spring Break?? I have 5 more weeks before my Spring vacation. …Not that I’m counting.
Thanks! Yup- I’m going to Florida. I need to go somewhere warm!
You are going to have a great time. Where are you going in FL?
I can’t wait! And I actually don’t remember off the top of my head haha. I know we’ll be at some beach near Disney World.
Your chicken and broccoli dish looks terrific! Yay for spring break…so jealous!!
