make-ahead summer salad

This is almost so easy I shouldn't call it a recipe, but I'm always amazed that something so simple can taste sooooo good.

I'm calling this a make-ahead salad because I steam my broccoli and sautee the tofu at the start of the week, and then everything's ready to go in my fridge at any time.

Ingredients:
1-2 broccoli crowns, chopped and steamed
1 block of firm tofu, cubed and sauteed with spices (my go-to is Clubhouse's Thai seasoning mix. I eat this on nearly everything)
cherry tomatoes
2 avocados
2 lemons
Bragg's Liquid Aminos (or soya sauce, but if you've never tried Bragg's, I'd recommend checking it out!)

This makes 4 servings in total, which I eat 1 at a time by tossing 1/4 of the broccoli, 1/4 of the tofu, and a handful of cherry tomatoes. Chop and add a half an avocado, squeeze on the juice of half a lemon and a splash of Bragg's with each bowl.

YUM. Seriously.

new things: thrift store edition

Some finds from my thrifting adventures the other week. Levi's jeans that I've cut into shorts, an LL Bean chambray shirt, and a J. Crew blazer with neat detailing on the inside. All for $13.

I recently purchased a Holga lens for my DSLR. I haven't had a chance to fully test it out yet, but here is a photo of my favorite abandoned factory taken with the lens.

a few little things

Put an animal on something and I am almost guaranteed to like it. This little pillow caught my eye while window shopping (at Attica, on Barrington Street in Halifax, for those who may be in this neighbourhood). Below are some others that I also really love:

Supplies:

Directions:

1. Tape off the flower pot with masking tape, make sure the tape is firmly placed on so paint does not bleed underneath the tape
