Happy Friday [and HAPPY SNOW DAY! if it applies] We sure did get a lot of snow over here, so I’m doing the usual snow day things. Movies, eating comfort food like chili and corn bread, going sledding (HOPEFULLY), oh..and I slept for 13 hours 🙂 Besides comfort food, colorful VEGETABLES have made their way […]
Annual Cross Country Pasta Party
Hey there! Where did we leave off? Oh yes, talking about the pasta party. During XC [Cross Country] in high school, we had a potluck pasta party at someone’s house before each meet. It was a good way to bond before a big race, have some fun to ease our nerves, and make predictions for […]
Weekending.
Good Morning Everyone! I’m a little bit late on the weekend post, but yesterday was spent painting my room. Painting is seriously no joke. My back hurts. My hands hurt. My shoulders hurt. My feet hurt. My hair is full of dust. It’s nowhere near finished, but I’m excited the share the final look! Since I’m […]
Lentil Soup.
Turns out, going to the mall, being in the mall, driving around the mall, thinking about the mall (or any store, for that matter), is NOT fun AT ALL this time of year. There are people everywhere, and they aren’t jolly- many of them are rude, in a rush and pushy. ‘Tis the season, no? […]
A Very Brown Breakfast.
Good morning! As I type up this post, I’m sitting here eating the world’s brownest breakfast:Oatmeal with cinnamon, coconut milk, banana slices, homemade apple sauce and peanut butter. With a side of more brown:Cuban Espresso and milk. I threw all of this together in less than a minute because I just got back from the […]
Seorabol Korean BBQ
If you’ve never tried Korean BBQ, take my word for it and try it! Last night, Ancy, Chris, Russ and I went out for Korean BBQ at Seorabol. I had never been there, but had been to another place nearby. Russ raved about Seorabol, so we decided to give it a go and I think […]
Ooey & Gooey.
Anything that is ooey and gooey is automatically delicious, right? RIGHT!Last night, while Russ, dad and I played Monopoly [I came in second], there were Dulce De Leche Coconut Chip Bars baking in the oven. Yes, you read that right. I followed the exact recipe, but omitted the white chocolate chips because the recipe only […]
Is It WORTH It?
Cookies, cakes, jelly rolls, casseroles GALORE! Around this time, there is food everywhere. Every time you turn around, there are fresh baked cookies and pies, one celebration or another (which is wonderful…), and during the cold months, nothing sounds better than rich, decadent comfort food. Except, how often do you end up eating too much […]
Gobbling & Wobbling. {Food and Fitness Over Break}
Happy Cyber Monday! Will you be shopping? I’m not a big online shopper (as in, I never do it), but I might snoop around the internet to see if I can find any good deals. I really can’t believe that it’s Monday already and that this break has gone by so quickly. The time off […]
Thanksgiving 2013
Good morning! Happy Post-Thanksgiving Day/ Post Brown Thursday/ Black Friday!Yesterday was so, so tasty and so much fun. We didn’t do any shopping and I won’t be doing any shopping today. Instead, I’m sitting here in my pajamas, sipping tea, while my dad makes pancakes. This beats malls, crowds, stress, pushing, and fighting any day. […]
