5 dinners and a grocery list

April 16, 2012

If you’re anything like me, most weekends you sit down to plan out your grocery shopping trip with great intentions. You grab your cup of coffee after breakfast on Saturday, sit down with grocery store sale flyers, coupon books, and bust out a list of five or six meals to make during the next week in a matter of a half hour. Okay, you caught me – that’s not how it goes around here. I sit down with my cup of coffee sometimes. Typically though I wake up too late on Saturday to even plan a grocery list in time [...]

fun facts friday

April 13, 2012

1. Oh. My. Gosh. I am so incredibly sorry that I forgot to ever pick a winner for the Purely Elizabeth giveaway from last week! If I could send you each a package to make up for it, I would. Buuut, the winner is actually Kalyn! Congratulations! Please email me so I can pass your information along! 2. In lieu of giving you all granola, how about a Larabar Mini giveaway instead? Go see Facebook for details! 3. Yesterday I planted beets in my garden. Last week I planted onions and potatoes. Yesterday while planting the beets, I was curious [...]

my personality

April 12, 2012

The other day, Aubrey posted a really great post about personalities. She wrote about how we can read someone’s blog each and every day, but do we really “know” each other? There are so many things I keep off of the blog – for privacy, so you don’t think I’m crazy, and well, because I can’t blog everything. That would just be ridiculous. Needless to say, as open as I am about some things, there are many others you don’t know about me. I hope these ten questions give you some insight about the kind of person I “really” am! [...]

switching it up

April 11, 2012

Good morning, friends! Fun fact of the day – did you know that 100 years ago yesterday the Titanic set sail on its maiden voyage? It’s the truth – part of me knows that because of the million of commercials for Titanic in 3D. Another part of me knows only that because we are studying the Titanic in fifth grade right now. Upwards and onwards to other things though – how about another week of eating more of our veggies? I can’t say that I really did that yesterday. In fact, I ate less vegetables than normal. It kept my [...]

copycat chipotle cilantro lime rice

April 10, 2012

Last week after I posted my guacamole recipe, I told you there was more Mexican food to come during the week. Well, I got caught up in other things and didn’t get around to posting Mexicana recipe numero dos until this morning (obviously). There are many things we love around here in this household, but Mexican food always comes out on top every time. Neither one of us ever gets sick of tacos, enchiladas, or fajita vegetables. I never get sick of refried beans. The Husband can live without. Our favorite place to get quick Mexican cuisine, however, is Chipotle. [...]

(almost) wordless weekend

April 9, 2012

Instagram for Android came out late last week. I automatically became incredibly obsessed with the application – anyone else? I’m addicted. Here are a few scenes from the weekend. (above middle) The Husband and I played Squares while waiting for Mexican on Saturday night. He won. In fact, he always wins games! He has strategy, that’s for sure. (above left) The Husband’s uncle is getting bees this summer – just a fashion show in the bee suit to make Eater complete. Have a great Monday!

fun facts friday

April 6, 2012

1. In case you’re wondering, sushi last night was uh-mazing. Like seriously, I want it again tonight for dinner. 2. If you live near a Fresh Market, I want you to email me – like NOW! I have some LOVE to spread to you. Yes, you! Don’t be shy. 3. I’m probably sleeping right now. Well, if I’m lucky I’m still sleeping right now (that is if you’re reading this in the wee hours of the morning). I kind of (okay really) love working in a school – Good Friday off! Heck yeah. 4. No school = pancakes for breakfast. [...]

roasted vegetables and kale pasta

April 5, 2012

Let’s talk about my day once I get off of work for a moment here. If you’re anything like me, the last thing you want to do when you get home from work is stand in your kitchen cooking for hours (okay, or like 45 minutes). When you get home, you’re tired, hungry, probably a little bit crabby, and you can’t wait to sit on the couch eating frozen dark chocolate and cookies. Puh-lease don’t even try to convince me that just happens to me. Even though the kiddos leave the building at 3:00, rarely do I actually leave school [...]

the wednesday that is really a thursday

April 4, 2012

I feel like this week is whizzing by at lightning speed! Granted this week is a relatively short week for me since we don’t have school on Friday (Good Friday). So even though today is Wednesday, it’s really like Thursday. Win, Win! Remember how I said my appetite was weird last week? It still is. I have had like no appetite lately, but that is definitely not stopping me from eating. Jen has a new challenge for WIAW this month of April – serve up an extra cup of veggies! As the weather gets warmer, I am all about this! [...]

purely elizabeth giveaway

April 3, 2012

About a month ago, I was on my way home from school and stopped by one of my favorite natural food stores, Fruitful Yield. They have amazing products and great prices, so I’m constantly stopping by there for specialty items. As I was walking down one of the aisles, I picked up a new to me cereal by Purely Elizabeth. It’s rare that I can find a cereal that is gluten free AND corn free, so I happily picked it up to try it out. Okay, technically it’s granola, but oats are only one of the amazing base items. This [...]
