I didn’t mention this on the blog earlier (for obvious reasons) but we moved into our new house a couple weekends ago and Isaac left for a 14 day trip 48 hours after the move. Needless to say I’m happy to have him back! Unpacking and sleeping alone in a new house was a tab bit intimidating, but Olive kept me company and things ended up going pretty smoothly. Although I do have a handyman to-do list ready as soon as Isaac gets over the extreme jet lag. 
Having him home was enough for me, but Isaac also brought me some fun gifts from the Middle East- most of which are food related (surprise, surprise)
A big container of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and Olea Essence olive oil scrub/cream, which is labeled “Good enough to eat”.
Delicious granola that I’ve already put a big dent in, sea salt, and some cockroaches aka dates. The best part about the granola is that the nutrition facts are in Hebrew so I have no clue how bad/good it is for me. Love that.
These are the best dates I’ve ever had!!
He knows me so well.
Last but not least, the one non-edible item was a necklace made of silver and Roman glass.
I absolutely love it! He did a good job.
So the past two nights have been spent catching up with Isaac and hearing all about the trip. We also made a nice little dinner.
I used the Asian Taco recipe that I fell in love with at the Whole Food’s cooking demo last month.
It was just as delicious as Jesse’s creation. I love his baked tofu – it’s super easy and tastes awesome. I think chopping it up into small cubes before marinating and baking it allows extra flavor to soak in and all the outside edges to get crispy – perfection! The slaw isn’t too shabby either – it’s just as good plain as it is wrapped into the tacos!
As for the clean eating, thanks so much for sharing what clean eating means to you. It was interesting reading everyone’s comments! So far, it’s been going well for me despite a few indulgences – the Israeli granola for instance. I’ll be sure to keep you all posted with my progress.
And who’s excited that it’s Friday? THIS GIRL! I’m ready to organize some things in the house that I wasn’t able to while Isaac was gone, spend time hanging with the guy, and relax a bit.
Happy Friday to you! What are your plans for the weekend?
