Peach toast, fake sausage and a pasta for introverts

Plus how much I love Tezza's baby? We have a lot to cover.

Hello and welcome to the second weekly newsletter of Snacks! Thank you so much to everyone who subscribed and reached out with so much support after the launch of the newsletter - I appreciate you more than you know. Now this week was jam-packed with good recipes, so let’s get into it!

This Week’s Round-Up!

• A za’atar crusted peach and heirloom tomato toast with slightly oozey burrata, video here, recipe here.

• My ode to my love of vegetarian proteins with this corn, tomato and vegetarian sausage salad with paprika dressing, video here, recipe here.

• A crispy chickpea bowl with blackened red onions and spiced peaches (a new personal fav tbh!), video here, recipe here.

• Creamy lemon pasta (easily made vegan) with wilted squash blossoms, and a little chat in the video about how I’m struggling with being an introvert who swings extrovert, video here, recipe here.

And now for favorites!

I love doing the weekly round-up (mostly so I can show you that yes, I do take pictures sometimes), but I LIVE for favorites. There is zero Leo in my chart but I still like talking about me and things I love ok??

This week I’ve been actively obsessed with the viral Stanley 40 oz. Tumbler (I have it in color Spirulina to match basically everything else in my life). This thing is HUGE, it has a straw (the cup equivalent of dresses having pockets) and its official name is the ADVENTURE QUENCHER, which if you don’t feel like a Backyardigan about to summit Mount Everest with a name like that, I can’t help you. These might be sold out now (I’m sorry!) but def worth getting on the waitlist.

I’m also tearing through the Fed Up Podcast. I said I wouldn’t listen to it, and friends, I lied. This is about the drama that went down in 2020 when influencer Emily Gellis took on F-Factor (*cough cough* fad diet) founder Tanya Zuckerbrot. It’s an ongoing public and legal feud, and I can’t look away. Another plus is they chose Casey Wilson to narrate this, and she does a fantastic job.

I’m also obsessed with Tezza’s baby? And that’s because this video went viral of her traveling 14 hours with her daughter and her daughter was an absolute dream?? I’m doing question marks here because I have always been firmly in the camp of “I don’t want kids” and now I’m 28, I’m seeing baby videos everywhere, and my ovaries are exploding. HELP.
