Make & Listen Along: Egg Tower with Nataly Dawn

The Make & Listen Along

~ On Thursdays I will post what I have been making and listening to as creations grow. 

If so inclined post, on your blog or flickr, about what you have been making (on your own or with little hands by your side) and listening to while you create. It can be new music, flash backs, a song or a whole album... whatever you like. You can be stitching with needle & thread, yarn, paper crafting, painting, cooking... and beyond. Share what you are making and the tunes that are fueling your creativity. Then come back to my Thursday Make & Listen Along post and leave a link in the comments so we can be inspired right along with you! ~

The Making

I don't typically post about food. First of all, I don't usually make any spectacular dishes that are worthy of photos and words. Second, I bow down to those folks out there who take great shots of food. I can't seem to manage on a regular basis and it is nearly impossible for me to push publish without photos that make me happy. 

I just knew this dish was going to be yummy and really wanted to share. So I took my plate outside and snapped a few shots of the Veggie & Egg Tower of Power dinner style. I promise I did not make the family wait, but they did because they love me.

I have been in love with this blog since Sherrie lead me to it. Sarah B is an amazing cook with seemingly endless knowledge about food and what it does for our bodies.
This dish is packed full of goodness. I used what I had on hand substituting massaged kale for spinach, regular tomato for cherry, and added the avocado. At the end of that huge plate of food I was wishing I had more. So yummy!

The Listening

While I was caramelizing onions and giving my forearms a workout massaging that kale I was humming along to Nataly Dawn's album How I knew Her. This album was just release in February and it has been on my play list for a few weeks. This is one of those albums that took a little time to grow on me. The themes of the songs are a bit on the weighty side for the most part, but she carries them along with pretty upbeat folksy melodies, which I like very much. This short article is a good read if you want to know a bit more about her. I love learning about the people behind the music.

What have you been making? What is on your play list?
Please do share!
