in and out.

last week was a very big week for this lady. some friends from collegetown came up to support me while i opened my big letter. after we went to in and out burger joint, and i ate my first hamburger in over a year. the last time i had a hamburger was january of last year(i'm sure you were dying to know that, ha.). i'm somewhat of a vegetarian so this was a big event, hence thats why helen documented it. thanks helen!
ps, i actually LIKED eating the hamburger. weird.

im no betty crocker..

but i managed to whip up a dang good pumpkin pie from scratch(sorry had to throw that in there). ha!
i only burnt it a baby bit. thats amazing progress for ash att.
we love pie at our house.
what a great thanksgiving.
hope everyones thanksgiving holiday was amazing!
xoxo

november=yummy food.

yes, the canned pumpkin is smiling at YOU! because you are wonderful.
to bad its half smiling in the fridge due to me using it for pumpkin protein shakes.
ps is it just me or does it resemble the character on "Night Before Christmas"?

 this would be the 26 inch(YES!!) pizza that we consumed this weekend. we love THE PIE because it's underground, you can write all over the walls, and the pizza is amazing.
it also happens to be the same weekend that i may or may not have asked for a guys number because he was mega hot. i couldn't pass it up. have i called him yet? no. will i? probably not. but it sure was fun, and we had lots of laughs about it on the car ride home.

the other night johnny came over to my house and we shared a bowl of pomegranate. it was awesome, and delicious. we also started laughing so hard we almost threw up. to be honest, i'm not even sure what we were laughing about. but it sure was funny!

November is awesome already!
don't you agree?
ps thank you for your comments on the previous post. i am currently going through my closet and room. so check back!

homemade soup.

i love when the weather turns brisk so i can enjoy soup. my favorite would be chicken noodle soup.

1/2 cup whole wheat noodles. Hodgson Mills noodles is the kind i like to get
1 1/2 cups of low sodium chicken broth
4 oz chicken
chopped up carrots and celery

cook noodles, carrots and celery until soft. drain water and add chicken broth and chicken and cook until warm. i boiled my noodles, carrots and celery in water first because i didnt want to use all the chicken broth, nor would it be enough to cover the noodles. but do what ever way works for you. then i added a bit of pepper on top.

it's perfect for sick days when you haven't had anything to eat.

enjoy :)

sweet potatoe waffles.

 i love waffles.
 i could eat them for every meal if i really wanted to, because they are THAT good.
these waffles are sweet potatoe waffles.
made from eggs, sweet potatoes, vanilla, and cinnamin.
they are so delicious.
don't dog until you try them.
i love the live the life, because every meal is so yummy.

a couple of the meals i made for tomorrow.

tomorrow is going to be a good day, i can feel it.

p.s. i went to the store today to get ONE thing, and came back with a bag full of stellar clothes items.

looks like tomorrow i'll be posting some of the outfits.

 tomorrow=good day.

i love food.

i have been eating way to many fish tacos lately for dinner. well i only have one taco for dinner, but it's loaded all the rocknroll goods like...protein.

i love food.

p.s. never eat cream of rice.

its sick sick sick.

there is a part of me that feels like watching "saved by the bell."
this gash on my arm from last weeks longboarding crash kills.
today is a good day.
country dancing was so fun. 
please bless that stinky boy from last night doesn't ask for my number again next week.
"can i have your number? i promise i wont text you all the time and call you 24/7."
"im trying to twirl you around alot and make you pass out. that way i can take you to the hospital and count it as a date."
"what is your address? my friend plays guitar and he can come to your house to serenade you for me. "
yes this is all from the same boy, and yes i laughed my butt off the whole night.
80's dancing tonight is going to be stellar(wow that's alot of dancing this week)
collegetown this weekend is making my heart full of joy. I CAN NOT wait to see all my friends. 
i normally work out 6 days a week, and i have yet hit the gym this week.
spaghetti squash is yummy.
school starts in a week. yikes.
google "vintage photography" and/or "funny men in spandex". You will love.

sorry this is random, but it's just all the thoughts in my head right now.
do you ever have random thoughts like these? or am i just going crazy?

{fill in the blank friday}

1. Today for breakfast I ate a Pumpkin Protein Shake. Seriously, this is MY FAVORITE. Canned pumpkin, milk, vanilla protein powder, vanilla stevia, fiber cereal and ice all mixed together into an awesome shake.

2. My go to/never fail recipe Whole wheat Peta chicken pizza.

3. Something I eat that other people think is weird. I take toast(with nothing on it) and dip it into grape juice or orange juice. 

4. My worst cooking disaster ever was when I made no bake cookies with my friend when we were 12. It called for 1/4 TSP. I wasn't paying attention and put 1/4 cup. Yeah, they tasted awesome.

5. If I could only eat one flavor of ice cream the rest of my life it would be cookie dough. This is the holy one of all ice creams.

6. One food I hate and avoid at all costs is manicotti. My mom would make this all the time when we were little. I would always put it in my mouth, then act like I had to go to the bathroom so I could spit it out. Blah!

7. What is your favorite meal? Breakfast, lunch, or dinner? Breakfast. Even better, breakfast FOR dinner.

My weekend is going be spent at my best friends wedding, and with the wonderful people that I love.
Happy Weekend!

Thanks Lauren for the Fill in the Blank Friday!! Go visit her blog here.

WARNING: May cause stomach discomfort, but not really..

Dude...Look at that meat!!! ugh. I think I'm an unknown vegetarian because I never eat meat. And my meat I mean that comes from a pig or cow. That's beside the point..the point is that we had a bbq for the ward the other day. Bff J and I are in the activities committee, so we went to get all the food and stuff. Yeah, we shop in bulk. Aint nothin but a thang. Also speaking of bulk..that is not a double chin on my face I promise. I was making a weird face..and that is just the end product. Dont Judge.

Yes, I washed my hand twice before touching this meat. It...was really..*cough* awesome.

P.S. Arent we just all LOVING the awesome weather? It just makes our hearts full of joy when its sunny. Well, and our bellies because of all the freaking BBQ's. Yeeess!

This has got to STOP

For the past couple nights, I have been CRAVING Sun Chips. At Midnight. On the dot. See how this has got to stop?

P.S. Stop by again this weekend for some good ol' Hawtness Monster. And if you have any suggestions, let me know!

A Chocolate Mess is the best way to De-Stress

Some of my guy friends have been having a really stressful week. So Shelby and I wanted to make them a treat, just to let them know we care. So we made these bad boys . Rice Crispy Treats in the shape of an egg(for Easterrzzz), then dipped in Milk Chocolate. umm hi. DELISH! Ohh...and they were.

After being a chocolate mess, we wanted to clean up a bit. SEE!

HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVING A GREAT WEEKEND!
