Friday Five // July 24, 2020

Hi, everyone! I’m kicking off a new blog post series called the Friday Five where I’m sharing five things (like recipes, books, and more!) I loved this week. I hope you’re inspired to try some of these—and if you do, I hope you love them!

Eat: 

Farmers Market Veggie Enchiladas from Feasting at Home. I swapped out the corn for zucchini, and layered the tortillas, cheese, veggies, and enchilada sauce lasagna-style because I was too hungry to take the time to make actual enchiladas. It turned out SO GOOD!

Read: 

“Five Ways to Make the Outdoors More Inclusive” by The Atlantic and REI. An insightful read on racism in outdoor spaces in the U.S., and what can be done to make these places safer and more inclusive for all. 

Watch: 

Elena Taber’s Youtube channel. Since the beginning of quarantine, Elena’s been staying close to home Southern California and creating dreamy lifestyle videos with major beach vibes—the perfect pick-me-up if you’re dreaming of the beach!

Listen: 

The Lavendaire Lifestyle - LL 158: Don’t Keep Your Day Job w/ Cathy Heller. The Lavendaire Lifestyle Podcast is a personal growth podcast by talented Youtube creator Aileen Xu. In this episode, she’s joined by Cathy Heller, founder of the podcast Don’t Quit Your Day Job, to talk about passion, purpose, and career. 

Do:

Lots and lots of meal prep! I’ve been planning out easy, healthy meals and trying to only visit the grocery store once per week. I’m no where near perfect (i.e. ordering pizza when there’s plenty of leftovers in the fridge hahaha), but I’ve really been enjoying trying new recipes and eating healthier. I’m thinking of writing a blog post on how I simplify meal prep, so stay tuned!
