Let's Make it into a List

Hey Y'allisn't that just so fun to say? (:


So for todays post I decided to make a list, maybe because I like lists, maybe because I don't know what to blog about or maybe because most importantly it will keep my ramblings to a minimum, take your pick, and hey you could keep reading too if you wanna(:


1.  My eats; I'll keep this short because I have a lot of pics from this past week that I just haven't gotten around to posting (too bad I didn't make the WIAW cut-off haha) But I decided in the future to keep these pictures at a minimum because I know everyone gets tired of drooling over my food porn
insert sarcastic sigh here, I realize not all my eats are the prettiest, but they are yummy!
Instead I'll just post for an occasional WIAW, recipes or pictures that are too darn gorgeous to keep from you guys!

 Yes that is an adora calcium disk that I used as my ice cream topper(:

 

 

 

If you haven't already you should try these veggie souffles from Garden Lites, they are super tasty and take like 3 minutes in the microwave (I think they also come in broccoli, zucchini and mixed)

I know the picture on the right is just lovely right; but for these sweet potato fries I used a spiralizer to make them curly-ques! So cute!

 

I've been lovin' shredded coconut as an oatmeal topper(:

2. I went up to Boone, NC this past weekend with my friend to surprise my dad after he rode a 100 mile race (seriously, he is a crazy biker!) He was definitely shocked to see me but the drive up was fun and he even took us out to lunch(:

A funky burrito from a place called Black Cat; it was called "Peanut Satay Burrito" and it had broccoli, carrots, chicken and a peanut sauce

3. I plan on making these as soon as possible

4. I entered a giveaway here to win a Whole Foods giftcard because it is a blessing that I don't have one near me, but look-out because there is one in New Orleans #herecomestrouble #imgonnabebrokeinnotime

5.  I've been babysitting like a mad lady recently; but thats not an issue because I need the money to keep rolling in (haha, like I said, I have expensive foodie habits)

Haha look at her nose!

6. I have been doing things other than taking pictures of food and babysitting, I've been going to the pool frequently and trying to read my summer reading (ugh) but it's really hard to get into. Especially when your friends want to do more talking than actual tanning and lounging(: I still love them, don't worry!

7. It's been hot hot hot! But I'm still walking the dog and trying to stay in the sunshine (to get a nice tan of course) well; tan for me at least(:

Okay so it wasn't that hot when I walked the dog and the temperature went down after I began driving, but still! I think it's been hotter everywhere so I'm sure you guys understand(: right?

I'll leave with with the lucky number seven, but look out for my Foodie Penpal reveal post tomorrow and a recap of my June Powermeal a day challenge!

Love(:

Welcome to my Life(:

Woah, this actually happened, haha I made a BLOG. I've been reading them for a while now, always wondering where these high schoolers had time to post during the year, but now that AP Tests are over (woot woot!) I have like no school left, a summer ahead of me and then my first year of college; yay class of 2012(: I'm going to Tulane University, which is in New Orleans, hence the blog title.

Okay, so back to what I was saying, so today I took the AP English Literature and Composition Test, any APers out there? haha, so basically it was 1 hour of multiple choice reading passages, just like on the SAT, and then 2 hours for three essays. Yeah, my hand was cramping :/ but who cares now, because that was my last AP test and I will be on cloud nine til graduation, June 2nd! Although really, I only have to go to school next week, if I place out of the oceanography exam....more on that later.

So here's some pics from my day, yeah that's right the new blogger came prepared(: I'm gonna have to get used to snapping pics here and there to make this more interesting for you guys, cause I definitely know that I love scrolling through blog posts just to look at the pictures (haha, only if i'm in a hurry, don't worry).

First, I went to IKEA and met up with the grandparents (they love that place!)

lunch at the cafe in IKEA; they have really good food! I got tomato veg soup, smoked salmon, swedish crisp bread (like all the food is from sweden since that's where IKEA like originated maybe?), salad with balsalmic, and the best part: dessert which was this torte, which is the bomb.com

haha sorry the picture shows my mostly eaten food, I forgot to snap a pic til I was like halfway through ;)

Theres me, with a potato masher, it's for my mom for mother's day don't worry

 I took my lovely dog on a walk after stopping by Trader Joe's (Just fyi, i'm obsessed with that place, and grocery shopping in general(: haha but hey, aren't all foodies!)

 Yeah, she's usually cute, but not the most photogenic, haha I think she is sneezing in the first pic

Grilled up a chicken hot dog, corn and veggies for an amazing meal (don't forget the dipping sauces!)

So yeah, theres my day in pics. I feel weird uploading pics of myself, like seriously who knows what creepers are reading this,.. hmm well hey creepers! and hey any reader, if there is anyone out there, I'm sure you're not creepy(:
