Vegetable Stir Fry

I’m going old school on you. I had this meal for dinner almost every night when I was in law school.  It started one random night when I needed to go grocery shopping but I was too lazy to go.  (Sound familiar?)  So I grabbed whatever I had in the fridge and threw it into a stir fry.  It seems just like yesterday that my parents would open my fridge in shock and would wonder if I ate at all.  Trust me, I ate. Not only did I find this meal tasty (which is probably obvious since I said I …

Spaghetti Squash Tex Mex Bowls

Have you ever used squash as a bowl? This is the first time that I served a meal in the squash “shell” and I’m obsessed.  That means that I have two less dishes to wash so that makes me happy.  It’s the little things  that get ya happy, right?  Like just earlier today I tried avocado toast for the first time.  Of course I had to document it on social media because if I didn’t then it might not have ever happened.  Why has it taken me so long to try that?  I’ve seen it forever and I’ve been totally missing …

Chocolate Pie

Is there anything better than a chocolate pie?  Well, maybe, but I don’t imagine much.  😉 This dreamy deal is everything you’d ever want in a chocolate pie.  The filling is smooth and chocolaty and the crust is flaky and delicious.  Yup, this is one of the most awesome things that I’ve ever made so far. I made this pie twice last month.  I wish that I could say it was done on purpose.  Twas’ the night before Christmas and I wanted to bring pie to my mother-in-law’s for dessert.  I diligently made it the day before so that it …

Stuff I’m Into: Winter Essentials

Here’s the Stuff I’m Into lately for winter: A warm cozy scarf.  I have bought way too many scarves this fall and winter, but this dusty pink one is my most recent favorite. Moisturizers.  I use a variety of hand creams, but L’Occitane’s shea butter hand cream has been my favorite for years and it is a favorite weapon in my on-going war against dry skin. Dark polish and statement baubles.  I love to sport dark nail polishes, especially during the winter so I treated myself to Chanel’s Vamp nail color (sadly they don’t sell this color any more so I guess I’ll …

Peanut Butter Bomb Smoothies

It’s official, folks.  I finally found a way to enjoy almond milk!  Yes, I know, very exciting news. I have tried almond milk several times and in a variety of ways.  Each of those times I found it gross, which is weird because I like almonds and I like milk.  I don’t need to go dairy free (and I have no intentions of doing so either), but I want to expand my horizons.  So with the new year upon us I thought I’d give almond milk another try.  I’ve never tried it in a smoothie so I figure I’d give that a go.  Well, …
