There's something about cilantro...


that makes me feel almost elated while eating it. That makes me realize there are bigger things in this world than essay deadlines and even straining relationships. There are herbs with intriguing flavors that make you feel like the only way you could possibly keep on living your life is to explore the world and share their vibrance , rather than exerting any more negative energy.



Tonight's dinner was spring mix thrown together with some red onion, garlic, carrots, an avocado, a couple drops of olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, and cilantro. It may look annoyingly basic, but it's enough to make your eyes widen and shake your head in disbelief of it's freshness. Seriously. I've made this a couple times and it never fails to put a smile on my face, despite the type of day i've had. This is the best food on the planet. I don't know how someone could not want to eat this way every single day of their lives.
