Lemony Sauteed Kale and Broiled Salmon

When I think I'm about to get sick, I pretty much always make fish for dinner. I have this bizarre theory that if I eat really healthy, I won't get sick.
It never works.
I always get sick.
If you went off this blog, you'd probably assume I never eat protein, and, although that its true that I don't eat enough protein, I eat more than it seems. But less than I probably should :(
Anyway, every time I go to Winco, I buy some random green and I usually forget to eat it.

Ingredients:
Lemony Kale:
1/2 lb Kale, washed and drained
1 tbsp Olive oil
1/2 lemon

Salmon:
1 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt
About 5 oz Salmon

Heavily salt the salmon and let sit for half an hour. Meanwhile, remove stems

Cauliflower and Pesto Gratin

I really dont like cauliflower. I don't like the flavor, I don't like the texture. I don't even like the color. Maybe my mom has rubbed off on me and I don't trust white things?
And yet, time after time, I buy it. It just looks so invitingly vegetal that I forget how much I genuinely dislike it. I invariably throw away at least half of it. Every time, I look up a half dozen recipes in an attempt to mask the flavor.

It's just hopeless.

I just don't like cauliflower.


Ingredients:

1 cup cooked Cauliflower (I steamed it for ~8 minutes)
Basil Leaves (I used about a spring)
2 cloves Garlic
(handful of ) Pinenuts
Grated parmsean

Serving size: one

Grease serving dish. Chop basil, garlic, and pinenuts together until they're mixed together well. My friend makes the most amazing rustic vegan pesto I've ever tasted. I vainly attempted to recreate it using the last of my pinenuts because I thought it would be able to mask the cauliflower taste sufficiently. It was only slightly successful. I layered the cauliflower with bits of that and a tiny bit of grated parmsean. Top with parmsean cheese.

Though somewhat filling, I ended up rounding out the rest of my dinner with half a bag of popchips (In the words of an ex's roommate: "What are popchips? Motherfucking delicious") and a mediocre bowl of radish/cabbage/miso soup.

Asparagus Quiche, the retarded way


Nom?
Idk it tastes alright.. I guess.
I burnt the breadcrumbs, my fingers, and the roof of my mouth :(
The method/recipe was so bad though that it isn't worth sharing.
