Vegan Chick Pea Salad RECIPE: garbanzo beans, sliced almonds, celery, and mustard dressing
It's really funny to me that I even blog about food at all.  Not that I label myself an actual "food blogger" or anything, but usually people who post recipes enjoy cooking a teensy bit more than I do! If you didn't gather from my whiny post about making homemade hotdog buns, cooking is not my most favorite thing. 

To be really raw and honest, I've had to overcome a lot of stress and anxiety about food.  I even went to a health counselor who helped me deal with some of my issues.  Sensitive stomach problems, low blood sugar, worries about negative aspects of the food industry and eating clean made me actually wish that eating was not even a part of life.  (I would hard-core dream of a pill that could make me not even need food. Pretty sad, I know.)

My health coach, Amanda, gave me this meal idea and it was like some kind of What about Bob therapy, for real! Baby steps. Whenever I didn't know what to eat, I would make this. Over three years later, and I'm still not even sick of it.

Homemade hot dog bun RECIPE: 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 2 tablespoons (or packets) active dry yeast  1/2 cup warm water (105°F to 115°F) 2 cups warm milk (105°F to 115°F) 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 teaspoons salt 6 to 7 1/2 cups all-purpose flour* egg wash: 1 egg + 1 tablespoon cold water poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and sea salt for topping (optional)
A few times in my adult life, my mom has reminisced about when she would make homemade buns to send in my school lunches... but if it wasn't for her storytelling I'm not sure I would've ever remembered them!  This was a thought that spurred on the idea and purpose of this blog, so I figured I needed to set out to try making some homemade hotdog buns myself! 

The verdict? They are delicious. Will I turn Suzy Homemaker and make these throughout Rowan's childhood. Yeeeeeah... about that... I'm gonna go with NOPE. Oh and Mom, I love you. You were really great for making these for me.
