Truth

Is it weird that I wish, more than once a day, that I could see what other people see in me. I wish that I could go back to the mindset I had at 18 when it came it body image. The second time I stepped on a scale was at 18, I was 16 the first time and never recognized what the number meant. Or better yet, I knew that the number meant nothing… as long as I was healthy. Now, ill purposefully harm my body in order to see the right number. It's so obvious, yet it's a pattern that cannot easily be unchanged.

Bahaha!

Do girls actually enjoy being fingered or is that a myth?

Depends if you know the difference between summoning a genie and stuffing a chicken.

Advice to Men who have been cheated on...

This is strictly my opinion so no fuckery... Kay? I feel like men who have been seriously hurt as innocent young men, by women who have fucked people, are ruined for at least 7 years; it's like a curse. So if you're a lady tryin' to get with the guy within the 7 years .... Run. Just do it. It's like they're trying to recreate the magic they didn't have the first time. NEWSFLASH BOYYUYSSS... You will never have a "first love" feeling again. Girls get over it, and you can too. So the advice you've all been waiting foooorrrr... (drum roll please).... DATE VIRGINS!!! Not only will you never have to hear about one night stands or exes that gave them STD's or anything sexual really; but you will forever recognize the innocence that ALL women hold and hopefully you'll learn to reflect it forward. Some women just choose to not be private about.. Ahem ... Well, their privates :D Xoxo, A.

Top 3 things I wish...

...people would just understand about me: 1. My hands shake, they just do. I eat and I'm healthy, they just shake. Period. 2. If I tell you about my past, it isn't so that you can turn around and hold it against me. You weren't even there, nor did you know me. So fuck off. 3. My family comes before anything. Absolutely anything, and yes that does include you.

Kale and Leek Twice-Baked Potatoes

Kale and leeks are absolutely wonderful together. Combined with fluffy mashed potatoes and cripsy potato skins, you have one delicious side dish.

Kale and Leek Twice-Baked Potatoes 

3-4 large red potatoes

1 bunch of kale

2-3 large garlic cloves, minced

1 tbsp olive oil

1 large leek

almond milk

2 tbsp vegan butter

salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Gently scrub the skins of your potatoes and pierce all over with a fork. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour, until the potatoes are tender. Remove from oven and set aside to let the potatoes cool.

Wash and prepare the kale and leek. Kale: tear the leaves from the large stems, plunge into water, remove and set aside. Leek: trim the leek down to the yellow and pale green part. Half lengthwise, slice thin. Place in colander and rinse well, let strain well. 

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the leek, sprinkle lightly with salt and sauté for 10 minutes. Add the kale and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, until kale is completely wilted and excess water has evaporated.

Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut in half, and gently scoop out the inside of the potatoes, leaving about ¼ inch of potato and skin for stability.

Add the potato filling to a large mixing bowl, along with the leek and kale mixture. Mash together until smooth with the vegan butter and a few splashes of almond milk, as needed. Taste and season with salt and pepper to taste. 

Heap the filling in the prepared potato skins. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and cook for 20-25 minutes, until golden on top.
