Mozzarella & Pluot Salad

Mozzarella & Pluot Salad | O&O Eats

Guys, I think I have found it. The salad. The salad above all other salads, if you could even call it such. It doesn't contain any lettuce, spinach, or other leafy greens, but it is perfect. Gasp! Did I just say perfect? I mean, nothing in this world is really ever 100% perfect, but this salad is as close to perfection as you can get.

Unfortunately it's something you can only make in the few short months that is the stone fruit season (unless you somehow find pluots in February, but who knows where they came from and how long they traveled to get to you). Since we only have a few weeks left at best, I think I shall be making this darling salad every week until it's over.

Pea & Leek Soup with Sourdough Croutons

Pea & Leek Soup with Sourdough Croutons | O&O Eats

There's something so amazing about the simplicity of peas. I could eat them everyday with just a little salt, pepper, and olive oil. I've always thought the television stereotype of children pushing peas around on their plate, refusing to eat them, feeding them to their dogs, and other such antics, was absurd. Who doesn't like peas?

Sourdough bread on the other hand...not a big fan unless it comes in the form of a patty melt. But in this instance, there is no better bread than sourdough to pair with pea soup. The slight sourness creates a great contrast to the sweetness of the peas, in addition to adding a nice crunch to a soup that would otherwise have the consistency of baby food (I'm doing a great job of selling this recipe to you aren't I?!?).

But no, really, it's amazing. Healthy, delicious, colorful, amazing. Makes for an elegant weeknight meal if you're strapped for time.

Tofu Bánh Mì

Tofu Bánh Mì Sandwiches | O&O Eats

I don't claim to even remotely know what an authentic bánh mì tastes like. But I thoroughly enjoy getting them at my nearest Vietnamese bakery/cafe/pho joint wherever I'm living at the moment, so here is my attempt to make them at home, based on bánh mìs I have eaten in Austin, Chicago, and Manhattan.

Now I usually wouldn't even attempt to re-create a sandwich that is so delicious and cheap already, and I absolutely love a classic bánh mì with ham, pork roll, pate, head cheese, and the like. But every once in a while I don't want to eat pork (pigs are so smart and cute!) and I find that the vegetarian options available are pretty sad.

Farro Salad with Honey Miso Dressing

Farro Salad with Honey Miso Dressing | O&O Eats

You know when you're younger, in your late teens/early twenties, and you have this grand delusion that you're invincible? That wide-eyed delusion that you're going to be young and energetic forever, able to eat cheeseburgers all the time without gaining a pound, able to see your friends all the time without really trying. Then as you start getting older, the slow realization creeps up on you that you're going to have to work really really hard for your health and happiness?

Tell me I'm not the only one. Don't worry, I'm not going to get into an existential conversation about how to find happiness in life. But I definitely need to start eating better. Every week I tell myself I'm going to eat more veggies and less cheese/bread/ice cream/etc., but I'm always so wrong.
