{thirsty thursday} — mini-eggs florentine w/ a twist and my first vitamix smoothie!!

15 Nov

i’m really pleased with how cute and delicious these little treats turned out.

half the time i plan my meals and half the time i wing it with stuff i have around the kitchen.  only on occasion has that not worked out for me.  my roommate usually eats whatever i make anyway because he’s a wonderful guy, but there have been some creations even i had to pass up because it just didn’t turn out good.  haha – but i grab a spatula, put the apron back on anyway and try again :)

this time, it turned out brilliant.  didn’t see how it wouldn’t, either.  when you start with a basic classically good recipe, you can pretty much bet it’ll taste terrific.  these were no exception.

thirsty thursday and foto friday – combined! {breakfast pizza and beer, nom nom}

3 Aug

FOOTBALL TRAINING CAMP IS IN FULL SWING – pizza and beer, anyone?!

it’s been an interesting week. i’ve had some ups and downs and some incredible, MAJOR breakthroughs, as well.  good stuff, i feel renewed.  i’m anxious to write another wordy wednesday post to make up for yesterday’s lack of… it will be a good one, too.  i’m a changed woman!  i may even just make up for it this weekend, on sunday or something.  until then, let’s keep the themes going — it’s friday, yes.  but i’m sure you’ll want to pick up some libations for your weekend, and i have to recommend my one of my favourite beers to go along with this fun recipe.

breakfast pizzas are popping up all over pinterest and blog sites alike, and i was so eager to try one of my own.  after 14 days of cleansing, i have been obviously rather ravenous lately.  carbs, bacon, eggs, and cheese were all that would suffice last weekend.  so, i made my own organic breakfast pizza and served it with a delicious farmhouse saison… you’re going to want to try this, mark my words.

pre-cleanse “last meal” comfort food

15 Jul

haha – okay, i’m actually not going to eat this today, but i did a couple weekends ago.  and i have a feeling after my upcoming 5-day juice and veggie cleanse, i’m going to want a big ol’ bowl of this!

biscuits and gravy.  – a southern classic.

many people do not know this about me – but i was born in south carolina. i usually like to say “i’m from all over” because i didn’t live there past my second birthday, but i guess it was long enough to learn to like collard greens and biscuits and gravy, hehe. actually – growing up, my grandma used to do a lot of southern cooking, which is where i learned how to prepare my carrots the way i do. i seldom eat biscuits and gravy anymore, but occasionally it’s just good comfort food.

sometimes i like to have 2 breakfasts…

9 Jun

…or – one breakfast, and one brunch… :)

especially if it’s a weekend day and i don’t have to work.  i get up pretty early most days and i love having my cup of coffee as the sun beams in and i work on both blog images and my appetite.  typically i want a snack about an hour later and so this has become one of my favourite quick meals in the morning : i call it the BACH  {banana, almond, chia, honey} a friend helped inspire this — thanks michele!

i’m all about rewarding yourself — or perhaps a better way of saying it is listening to your body. Continue reading →
