Leaving on a Jet Plane – to Utah!

Leaving on a Jet Plane – to Utah!

Hi everyone! If you’re reading this, I’m probably currently on a plane; either boarding, or sitting in one while it flies through the sky and I grip the armrest while praying it doesn’t fall out of the sky. I love traveling, and am a weirdo who actually adores airports, but the act of flying actually … Continue reading »

Wednesday Around the Web

Wednesday Around the Web

Hello all! I was contemplating jumping on the What I Ate Wednesday bandwagon for the first time ever today, because I actually took pictures of every.single.thing I ate yesterday…but then I realized that my food was actually pretty ugly (I had oatmeal for breakfast and a bowl of black beans, peas, corn, chard, and quinoa … Continue reading »

It started in the SUMMER which included zucchini, bell pepper and tomatoes.. then continued into an AUTUMN version which featured an amazing mix of walnuts, dried cranberries, caramelized onions, and rosemary. Ohhh man both were so … Continue reading »

But I figured I’d commemorate the event anyway. I keep on using quotations because I have actually been … Continue reading »

Cinco de Mayo Weekend in Photos

So I apparently missed my one-year blogiversary, because this weekend as we celebrated Cinco de Mayo I remembered back to last year when I put up one of my first “recipe” posts. Really, I just made dinner using other people’s recipes and then took pictures of it…but it was an epic meal nonetheless. This year, … Continue reading »

Friday Faves

Another week gone…thank goodness! I’ve gotta say though, it really does feel like the week flies by when you’re busy at work. I did a lot better this week about eating healthily (thanks to my Sunday Food Prep, my only meal that wasn’t homemade this week was dinner last night at the dodgeball bar {pizza … Continue reading »

Weekend Food Prep

Weekend Food Prep

Soo I wasn’t so great on the healthy eating thing these past four days. It was bound to happen, since I had an insane week at work and was too busy enjoying a baseball game last Sunday to do any food prep. Meanwhile, I’ve been quite good and have kept up with 1 gym trip … Continue reading »
