Weird-Ass Cookies

So, I made cookies tonight (last night by the time I post this) out of GARBANZO BEANS! They're freaky but pretty dang good! Now, they aren't exactly health food cookies... chocolate chips, peanut butter, honey... they just happen to be grain-free. So... you can pretend they're good for you if you want! I followed this recipe pretty much to the letter, including all her tips and tricks. So... there is nothing original at all about this post. It's just a pictorial montage of me following a recipe someone else made up. Be impressed. Gather...

Currently

Watching: All the Whitney I have on my DVR. Ahahahaha I think every 20-something girl relates to this show but I really, really relate to it and I lauuuugh and laugh. Although this season has been a little more "and here's the formal moral of the episode" for the last 4 minutes of the show. I'm not looking to Whitney for morals. Cut that crap out. Eating: Whatever I want for the next couple days. Because I don't have to be in a swimsuit again for like... a month and a half. So I'm going to enjoy all those cheat meals I skipped...

Dirty Face

I affectionately named this look 'dirty face'. I get it every spring. This year, it came with some lovely dark circles under my eyes and some greasy hair. Aren't you supposed to come back from vacation looking refreshed? I did something wrong. I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack and exceptionally brown. My tan will be peeling off of me for a week or two. If only I'd let that massage therapist on the ship convince me I needed her $125 sugar and ginger scrub, I could speed up this process and keep from shedding skin everywhere I go. Yummy. It...

Spicy Butternut Soup

Hi I'm Lori, I was so excited when Arica asked me to guest blog while she was away on her fabulous cruise. I have my own little corner of the Internet, In The Middle is my blog and I have an Etsy shop as well. My blog is mostly of my recipes that I create. I eat mostly a plant based diet but will believe that food should also be real. Meaning I will most of the time choose an organic, free range, chicken, over an overly processed non-organic tofu (not that I'm against tofu by any means). I'm also a big fan of flavor so...

Why Oh Why Wednesday - Baby Edition

Why oh why, baby??? Hey guys, I'm Jenna, the Overly Enthusiastic ones sister, I have a little boring rambly blog over here where I talk about how I could better the world if only someone would ask my opinion or I talk about my sweet lovey, Peyton.  (she's no stranger to this blog - made quite a few cameos) On Wednesdays over at my bloggy I pose a why question, so I thought I would continue the theme over here while my sister suns her buns on foreign beaches and a giant cruise ship for a week.  Only slightly...

Diagnosis

<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/4405837/?claim=h8rqyxpxp3n">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a> You guys. This week was so crazy. Work was a whirlwind of rushing, waiting, and accomplishments. I'm really excited about where I'm leaving (most) of my projects. At home, it was like workoutworkoutworkoutpackcleanworkoutshopworkoutBAM! Upper Respiratory Infection. Doc gave me steroids to help me feel better quick (she said about 2 days! Hallelujah!) and told me to take Mucinex and also wrote me a script for an antibiotic...

Laziest Post Ever

A bunch of images I screenshot because I liked them, from twitter, insta, ect. #Coveteur #Instagood The perfect skirt I plan to make for myself when I get home because I can't find a source for it. I'm in to maxi skirts with slits this spring. OMG, inappropriate attraction to Kendall in this pic. Killer legs. #Jailbait Hillary Duff is my favorite. I think she's so pretty and her tweets and instas are SO down to earth and always positive and I just love her. And she posted a picture of her new sweater. Like a total...

Once you go black...

I'm never going back. I've finally made the switch. At first, I was just trying to cut some sugar from my life. Then I ran out of my favorite cinnamon creamer... and one thing led to another and I'm all black coffee, all the time now. I feel very mature... except I still have to put ice cubes it in so it doesn't burn my mouth because I have not patience... so not that mature. In similar news, D and I stopped by Sbux Monday night because we needed to grocery shop and the Sbux shares a parking lot with the HEB so... we didn't really see...

Winterest

I used to have a board on Pinterest called 'Winners' and I'd move the things I tried that were awesome there for quick reference. I also had one called 'Not That Great' but then I was like, why I am I keeping these? They were not that great. DELETE BOARD. Anyway, the 'Winner' board became less user-friendly than I was expecting. It was a hodge-podge of everything from a really great lipgloss my mom got me for Christmas to the perfect seasoning recipe for baked chicken to a cleaning checklist I had adopted. It was disorganized but I...

My Weekend in Pictures

And welcome to my weekend. This is pretty much how I looked all of Sunday. The only reason I put on pants Saturday was to go to Brit's baby shower and my mom's birthday dinner. Other than that, I was a recluse of Cinderella-esque proportions. Just washin' laundry and scrubbin' dishes and getting the house ready to leave it for a week. This week is suh-lammed at work, preparing for vacaaaaatioooooon. I have to stay super-focused and get all my stuffs in to other peoples' hands so it doesn't just sit, collecting dust while I'm...
