Whereas mornings are my favorite time of day to rise with the sun, sip coffee slowly in a cozy oversized cardigan, and develop content for this site, the time I spend in the kitchen does not correlate to the quality of my morning meals.

If you follow my daily Instagram diaries, you’ll find that my go-to takeout preference for lunch, dinner, or both, is an order of vermicelli spring rolls with peanut sauce.
