ONE POT LEMON GARLIC SHRIMP ORZO

August 6, 2015 by Christine Skari

If you haven’t figured it out yet, I really like food.

Give me all cuisines, all flavors (except spicy because apparently I can’t
handle the heat but I will NOT get out of the kitchen #heckno), and all cooking
methods. One of the biggest downsides to being a big foodie, though, is the mess
that comes with it. I swear, it kinda just sneaks up on you and one minute
you’re doing you’re minding your own business, doing your cooking’ thing and
then BOOM. You turn around and it looks like your kitchen exploded on you. A
mountain of dishes overflowing everywhere. Half-chopped onions are on the floor
and it’s making you emotional (onions=the original tear gas). And I’m not even
sure why the entire counter is so sticky.

WHAT IS HAPPENING. Kitchen warfare.



That’s why this recipe has my heart. One pot. ONE.

The orzo cooks right along with the veggies, soaks up all the liquid, and you’re
good to go! I’m used to having at least several pots and pans going at the same
time, but with this recipe, it’s one and done. I am in love.

Orzo will always be one of my favorite pasta shapes. It must have something to
do with it’s similarity to rice, which my half-Japanese heart beats for (<3),
but I also think it’s because it’s just a nice change up from your
run-of-the-mill average spaghetti. Pasta can get a bit redundant for me, so I
love making little changes to make one of Kyle’s favorite foods more fun!



This recipe is a spin off of a dish that Kyle used to make every Sunday when we
were in Santa Barbara for the school year. We called it Farmer’s Market Pasta
because we would spend the morning strolling up and down the isles of fresh
produce and pick out the veggies and herbs that we wanted to include that week.
We even were able to score some freshly made pasta (!) from a bread stand as
well as some herbed garlic focaccia to really make things taste completely
homemade. We’d come back to my house, make a mess in the kitchen, then settle
down with heaping bowls of steaming noodles and watch the latest episode of Game
of Thrones. HEAVEN!

I’ve adapted this version to be a one pot, easy clean-up recipe because no one
wants to spend time cleaning dirty dishes when you could be stuffing your face
with even more food. It’s chock full of vibrant flavors and the combination of
the lemon and garlic is officially my new best friend. It’s also on the
healthier side because it’s made with a tomato base (rather than cream) and
includes tons of vegetables to add fiber, nutrients, and bulk to each serving.
And ya’ll know I’m all about eating LOTS of good food, so anyone who is in the
same boat as me will rejoice! Huzzah! Pasta miracle.

WHAT I ATE WEDNESDAY…

August 5, 2015 by Christine Skari

Hi friends!

Sorry to be MIA these past few days. I’ve been busy doing photography-related
things and spending my evenings with Kyle and so I haven’t had time for
blogging. I notice that when I don’t blog for a while, I end up losing my
passion for it and it’s always harder to start up again. I’ve been writing here
for around three years now, and sometimes I feel like there isn’t that much for
me to talk about or I’m in a funk with cooking and don’t feel like having my
food ready at 5:30 p.m to get that pretty lighting for photos.

To combat those sentiments, I’m writing a WIAW post. I haven’t participated in
What I Ate Wednesday for months, but there’s something about sharing my daily
eats that gets me more excited to share actual recipes. They also meld together
the day-in-the-life rambles that you guys have asked me to post more of and food
(<3), so it seems like the perfect fit! If you guys like, I can make this a
weekly shebang!

Breakfast: gala apple + pb

I wasn’t too hungry when I woke up this morning, so breakfast was super light.
I’ve been going through an apple and peanut butter obsession and I’ve been
eating at least one apple a day. I’m currently working through a jar of crunchy
pb, but it’s not my favorite. Smooth for the win!

MY CRAZY WEEKEND!

July 29, 2015 by Christine Skari

Hello, friends!

I just had the most crazy, exhilarating, and exhausting-in-the-best-possible-way
weekend and am so excited to share it with you! It involved a long day trip to
the happiest place on Earth (debatable I must say…), an AMAZING styled shoot
that I put together with my photography partner, and launching my new website!

Let’s start with Saturday.

RANDOM THOUGHTS: ETHIOPIAN FOOD + DISNEYLAND + STYLED SHOOT

July 24, 2015 by Christine Skari

Hi friends!

I feel like things have been pretty bland around these parts in terms of keeping
you guys in the loop about what’s going on in my life. I initially started AOME
as more of a online diary as I traversed through college, but since then it’s
grown to be a lot more tasty and a lot less personal. When I reached out to my
readers on what they would like to read about the most, the winning choice was
more behind-the-scenes and… I haven’t really been too great about keeping up
with that. Oops.

So, consider this post an apology and the start of more random thoughts and life
related posts. A lot of the times I don’t feel like I really have too much to
write about since my days look relatively similar, but you guys asked and I
shall deliver!

Let’s start with dinner last night!

Kyle has been working at SpaceX for the last few months and, since then, it’s
been a struggle to spend as much time together as we normally do. I mean, when
we’re back at Santa Barbara he’s at my house all the time (and shoutout to my
housemates for accepting him in as one of the girls and asking “where’s Kyle?”
when he doesn’t come over for a few days haha), but now he’s up at 6 a.m and
isn’t home till after 7. Don’t get me wrong, we’re doing great together as usual
(he’s my forever guy) and I am thrilled to see him working there, but we have to
make an active effort to make the most out of his free time. To spice things up,
we made plans with our old friend, Adrian, and his girlfriend to go on a double
date to an Ethiopian restaurant.



I have been dying to try Ethiopian food and have been nagging Kyle about it for
the last two years. We found Ibex Ethiopian Food on Yelp and I drove the 30 or
so minutes from my house to get there and meet up with everyone. Unfortunately,
Adrian and Sadie accidentally typed in the wrong city to their GPS and ended up
close to Hollywood, so by the time they realized their mistake, they were miles
away around heavy traffic time. We decided to reschedule the double date with
them since it would have taken them forever to get the restaurant and Kyle and I
enjoyed a one-on-one date instead.



So the food! It’s SO GOOD.

When Kyle and I initially got to the restaurant, we sat at the bar and chatted
with the owner while we waited a table to open up. I asked him for his
recommendation because it was my first time eating at an Ethiopian restaurant
and he insisted that we try the fried trout since it was the best-selling dish
there. We ended up ordering a vegetarian sampler dish that came with a fried
trout and it was absolutely incredible!

After one bite, I realized that Ethiopian cuisine is full of balanced flavors
and spices and incredibly fun to eat. You eat with your hands and use pieces of
injera (a flat bread with a distinct sourdough taste) to scoop up the assortment
of side dishes. We were served a variety of different cooked lentils as well as
a salad and spiced carrots and potatos (I think?) and everything was simply
amazing. For me, however, the fried trout took the cake and I was picking at the
bones by the time I was through with it!



Even though Kyle and I could have easily split the vegetable sampler and trout
dish, the owner and his wife, Lily, came out and insisted that they feed us one
of their signature chicken entrees on the house and we couldn’t say no to trying
more! While I forgot to snap a picture (too busy eating with my hands), it was
perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and Kyle’s favorite dish from the night. We
talked a bit more with the owners and Lily gave me her phone number and told us
to give her a call the next time we plan on coming in and she would prepare a
huge sampler so we could try bites from everything on their menu. Kyle and I
were blown away by their generosity and kindness and can’t wait to take Adrian
and Sadie there within the next few weeks!

Today (Friday) is going to be a pretty normal day for me and involves replying
to emails and business inquiries, putting this post together, hitting the gym,
working on lots of freelance work, and getting my photography website together.
I haven’t talked about it much, but I am launching a new, revamped site up next
week and it’s going to be b-e-a-utiful! This year is going to be huge for me in
terms of diving head first into the wedding photography business and working
with my friend, mentor, and soon-to-be business partner of sorts, Matt, to get
established. I AM SO EXCITED. If you want to keep up with more of my photography
shenanigans, feel free to follow my Instagram.



Tomorrow, I’m going to be spending a full day at Disneyland/California
Adventures with Kyle, his little brother Adam, his girlfriend Taylor, and a
bunch of friends that Kyle knows from the UCSB tennis club. Kyle’s Aunt works
there and is able to get us in for free (!) and I am pumped to spend time with
everyone, get my Disney on, and eat lots of junk food.

Oh! Sunday! Sunday is going to be amazing. Another local wedding photographer
and I have been planning a styled bridal shoot for the past month and on Sunday,
all of our plans come to fruition. We’re collaborating with a professional hair
stylist and makeup artist as well as three gorgeous models to create some
beautiful, portfolio-worthy art. There will be gorgeous bouquets and flower
crowns from a florist, golden light, and a horse (!!) and I am so ready for our
vision to be brought to life. I’ll probably recap the styled shoot on the blog,
but if you want to see more behind-the-scenes from the day, follow my
photography Instagram. (shameless plug round duos).

And that’s all she wrote!

I hope all of you have an amazing weekend!
