If you're like me, all summer long you've been eating at fast food more often because cooking with the temperatures in the 90's with the humidity is not a good vibe! It's the AC, the stove, the food, etc. The comfort adjustments never end, so I am going to do grilled chicken at the drive thru. I think fast food is somewhat healthier nowadays; that's the best way to put it. I know making food in the toaster oven and calling it 5 star online is somewhat of a long shot but nonetheless so is calling fast food unhealthy. Personally, I think dieting is up to every individual to figure out. When I go to fast food places I make sure to customize my food so it's comfortable and basic; and also avoid the fries and soda. In terms of this delectable chicken sandwich above, that is what I am here to brag about! The chicken I used for the sandwiches was from the 4 chicken breasts I made a few days ago.

The first watermelon I tried this summer

Back on August 1st I posted a picture with a watermelon next to some zucchini and this is the same watermelon from 23 days ago! It's been sitting in my room, ripening and ripening. Today was actually my first day during summer that I had some watermelon. I did have a couple tastes of cantaloupe too the other day; but have been big on bananas and of course the watermelons that I am growing. This watermelon isn't actually mine, it's from a farm stand. In my latest Instagram plants highlights, I have added info about the 'Garden Leader Monster' watermelons I am growing and was going to do a taste comparison of this crimson sweet but surprisingly my watermelons were still not ripe and not red. I am going to talk more about my own plants in another post, but in terms of this first bite of watermelon this summer, this watermelon from August 1st is going to sit around all night until I am done with it!

Got a new Tumbler

I’ve been on the prowl for new and affordable cooking tools like lids and pans but also needed to stop using old mason jars for coffee. I was rushing around TJ Maxx and saw this right before I left. It says stainless steel but I can say it’s closer to aluminum alloy; either way my coffee tastes great. I am still looking for new pots and pans, and also a mobile burner to make some stuff in my room (obviously no frying involved.) Griddles won’t work for me, I need a piping hot pan. Crockpots are also something I’m looking into as well to make potatoes and other roasts over time. The thing with me is I don’t need a big box of pots and pans and lids. I really want a couple affordable pots and pans that really won’t get too dirty when I sear chicken and other things! I’m going to be talking more about my next featured dish and any recommendations I can find on cookware! Social Media: Threads Instagram Facebook Tumblr YouTube
