I had a draft sitting in my blog since January that I never finished. Needless to say, taking a vacation in February was ill-advised since it's a super busy time of year for me at work. I had something here noting how I hated January because my entire blog feed had 10,000 recipes for freaking green smoothies due to everyone being crazy from their New Year's resolutions. It would've been a negative time to blog so consider it a blessing in disguise.
Lesson: Don't ask your doctor for book suggestions. Since my last post, I read this very scary book and I'm too scared to eat meat. This happened briefly right before I got pregnant after watching a rather graphic episode of Oprah where she sent Lisa Ling to tour a Cargill meat processing facility (just, don't). Anywho, I just can't seem to give up the Chick-fil-a, especially since they just opened a few in Washington for the first time since I've moved here. It's causing quite a stir. This doesn't mean the smell of hamburgers on the grill doesn't make my mouth salivate, it just means I'm going to consume less meat. Plus, cows and pigs are just so darn cute.
I'm going crazy over these chickpea burgers. It's like a giant falafel essentially, which, marry me.
A friend turned us on to these eggs and bacon (see? We still eat meat) and it is AH-MAZING! So glad this local, humane movement is catching on.
Mushroom Kale and Goat Cheese Quesadilla sounds so good.
Have made this Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bar recipe several times within the last few weeks - super good and so easy.
This Avocado Hummus - c'mon, you don't have to be vegan to think that sounds delish.
Blackberry Coconut Scones - wauw.
Yet another reason to love Trader Joe's, I've recently discovered this Goddess Dressing that is suuuuuper yum. Try it!
Interesting to Me:
If I'm being totally honest, I just couldn't stop laughing when I read this article about J.Law and her hot bodyguard and just felt I had to share on my blog. So thanks, J.Law for both having a hot bodyguard and inspiring me to get on my blog again.
(Again, leftover from January...)I was a tad too young for leg warmers back in the 80's but I'm making up for lost time - who else is excited they're back in style?! I had a Treat Yo Self moment and found some from Target.
I'm new to the Cards Against Humanity world and we played it while in FL (waaaaay back in February). MAN. Make sure the kiddos are fast asleep before opening the box. The raunch was palpable but we had a hilariously good time.
Just for Fun:
I got a nail art kit (don't laugh, it was on my Christmas wish list) and I'm L.O.V.I.N.G. it. When do I find time to do this w/ a 3 year old, you ask? Let's just say I won't know what to do w/ myself when nap time disappears. I had a little impromptu nail session with Carrie when I went down to FL and I'm so annoyed I didn't get a photo of the finished product. I feel like I should start a portfolio!

I've said it before, I'll say it again - I'm back (I think)!
