Ever wonder what it’s like to be a food blogger?
Well, I’ve been working on this day in the life blog post for a year now, but I never finish out the day and then I start over a month later and never finish out that day and omg, it never ends. So, let me briefly tell you what it’s like.
You wake up. You think about food. You cook food. You photograph food. You write about food. You think about food some more. There are lots of other not as fun things involved, like social media promotion, tech work, managing ads, accounting (oh, the accounting) and all of that not so glamorous business-y stuff one must do to have a business. But the food! There is a lot of thinking about and working with food.
Since food is always on my mind, I LOVE getting a break from thinking up a menu in the evening. Everyone needs a break every now and then!
My flavor profile, for example, says that I’m loving chocolatey/coffee flavors, peppery flavors, and tropical flavors right now. I totally would not have described myself as liking tropical flavors, but when I read that description and look at the recipes recommended for me, I totally do like tropical flavors!
I decided to test the site out by making three dishes. I took it a little easy on the first go ’round and made their On The Go Sloppy Joe recipe. I love sloppy joes and figured this would be a win for sure and it totally was! I topped mine with thick sliced dill refrigerator pickles. You can find my recipe for those pickles right here, just slice them into coins instead of spears!
Lemon Pepper Cole Slaw. Once again, it was a huge winner and you’ll find the recipe at the bottom of this post. I didn’t think the lemon pepper flavor would work with the sweet, rich creaminess of the mayo, but it cut the richness and brightened the flavors beautifully. We really enjoyed this as a side dish and it was perfect for a quick summer meal. It took less than 5 minutes to throw together and I only let it set in the fridge for 30 minutes (rather than the 2 hours the recipe called for) and it was amazing.
This recipe comes together super quick. The recipe says to let the cole slaw set in the fridge for 2 hours before serving, but even at 30 minute, this is full of great flavor!
