Comfort Blossoms

Hi friends! Happy Monday! Hope your morning is treating you well <3

We had quite a feast last night,

and I have a new love:

goat cheese-stuffed squash blossoms.

When we picked up the squash blossoms at the farmer’s market yesterday,

I had a good idea of what they were destined for, but after a little bit of Google research, here’s what I did with them:

1. Cleaned them off with a moist paper towel and removed the tiny flower bud that was on the inside.

2. Made a semi-homemade style of herbed goat cheese with:

-pre-made herbed goat cheese from AJs

-2 T chopped fresh chives

-1/2 t thyme

-sprinkle of garlic powder

-pinch of nutmeg

-sea sat, pepper

 

3. Transferred the goat cheese mixture into a plastic baggie and cut off the end. Piped the goat cheese into the squash blossoms and twisted the ends shut.

4. Next, I dipped each one into an egg, and then rolled in brown rice flour (which has such a nice, soft texture)

5. Sautéed in a little olive oil until brown and glorious,

 

and then sprinkled them with sea salt.

They came out AMAZINGLY- a perfect summer appetizer or side dish. Lightly crunchy on the outside, creamy and savory on the inside. I kept telling the Pilot, in between moaning, that it was like a healthy mozzarella stick

We enjoyed our feast with artichokes, salad, and the Pilot also had some stuffed chicken.

The Pilot’s dinner: (mine is the above)

Not too shabby

This morning, I have quite a few to-dos to ninja kick off the list:

-Weights + half cardio

-Go to work to make dinner reservations for tonight (!)

-Write family post

-Make dentist appointment –I miss my Valdosta dentist!- and make Bella a vet appointment

-House stuff

We move in 2 weeks!!!!

Boxes have already started to make an appearance….

I love moving

See ya soon <3
