Hello World!
Welcome to my world of food! I’ll slowly be adding in old photos from the past so if a post from June of last year pops up, you’ll know why. eta: I don’t know why some of my posts are doing the thing where the text is next to the pictures instead of above and below like I am coding the post. Anyone know why?

crepes!
I was up really early this morning, 6am, and of course my stomach was screaming “feed me!”. So I did. I decided that Crepes were the way to go because my mom and I bought a 4 pound container of strawberries at the grocery store yesterday. I looked around on allrecipes.com and foodnetwork.com for a recipe that would work for the ingredients I had and the amount of time I wanted to take and decided on this recipe. The ingredients below is for a serving of 4, but if you click the link you can adjust the servings to however how many you want to make. * 1/2 cup milk…

de vinci’s
I was out running errands and didn’t have much at home to make for lunch so I stopped at De Vinci’s. They’re currently running a special where you can get spaghetti or pesto, salad and bread for $4.99. I love their pesto, so I had to get some. There’s tons of garlic in it and I love it that way! The bread is great too. Foccocia! The salad was a regular mix with an oil/vinegar dressing and croutons.

happy 4th of july!
I made potato salad! I had planned on making it for a bbq we were going to have for father’s day and we went out to dinner instead, but it left me craving potato salad. I did a combiation of two recipes. I used Roseanne Cash’s Potato Salad recipe from smittenkitchen.com and also this recipe from jenyu.net. 3 pounds medium red-skinned potatoes, unpeeled, scrubbed 2 celery stalks, chopped (about 1 cup) 1 small red onion, chopped (about 1 cup) 3 hard-boiled eggs, peeled, chopped 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1/2 – 1 cup green onions, minced 1 cup salsa turkey, diced 1-2 tbsp mayonnaise (to taste) 1-2 cups non-fat plain yogurt…

Happy 4th
Happy 4th to all those in the USA. ::waves flag:: I’m sitting here watching Jaws 1 – 3. lol I guess these need to be considered part of my favorite films since I tend to watch them pretty much every time they are on tv. My mom and I had cheeseburgers and potato salad for lunch. Tonight we are going to my sister’s friends house for a BBQ and then we are going to watch the fireworks. Hmmmm… ok. I can’t think of what else to say. lol

Rock On! \m/
My mom got passes to a screening of The Rocker on Monday night from her work. Each pass admitted 2 people and she got 2 passes so her, my brother, sister and I went. The passes said there were more passes then seats being given out since they wanted a full house and expected people to not show up. So we got there about an hour and a half before the movie started. We went to this little Mexican restaurant next door and shared a plate of nachos then went back to the theater where they had started lining people up to go into the theater. And had us stand…

Busy, Crazy Weekend
My weekend was kinda busy and full of random. My mom had to go into work on Saturday for a bit and when she got home we were going to go swimming. It was 102 degrees out. My mom got home and mentions she wants to eat something and then we’ll go swimming, but there are dark clouds in the sky. Not even 5 minutes later it starts pouring rain. I blame my mom. lol She said some magic words and it rained. lol And yes I repeat that it was 102 degrees out and raining. o.O I don’t think it even lasted 10 minutes though, so we got ready…

No Sleep
It’s 8:22pm and I’ve been awake since 2pm yesterday. lol I’ve been having such a hard time waking up lately. I’ll wake up when my alarms go off long enough to stumble the 2 feet to turn them off, then roll back into bed. When the alarms ring on my cell phone, I either turn them off without a blink or sleep right through them. Sometimes I even set up a wake up call and just don’t answer it. The alarms go off at 9:30am and 10:15am for the alarm clock. 10am, 10:10am, 10:20am and 10:30am for my cell phone alarms. 10:45am or 11am is when I have used the…

Happy Pappy Day!
My brother, sister and I went out to dinner last night with our dad and step-mom. We went to this great Italian place in town, Strings. I had the Pasta Siena to eat. Shrimp and chicken sauteed in virgin olive oil, pesto, garlic and red chili pepper, tossed with sun dried tomatoes, and penne pasta. Finished with a touch of Alfredo with a hint of curry topped with roma tomatoes. It was a little on the spicy side, but it wasn’t bad. It really smelled like curry though. lol After dinner we all went to my dad’s, sat outside and had cupcakes with melty frosting from the heat and ice…
