super bowl food

I've been looking for recipes for the sunday game.

Looks like i'll be the one putting the spread together. And since it's still the beginning of a new year and we're all trying our best to eat healthy, i'll make sure to keep it healthy AND tasty. Let's face it: if it's healthy and tastes bad, no one wants to eat it. But if it tastes good and it happens to be healthy, double whammy...BOO YAH! :)

Here's some food that looked scrumptious. Links at bottom if you want to follow up with recipes.

it's just a bag i know

any one who knows me, mark your calendar.

even if you don't know me personally, mark your calendar.

i bought a purse. a. PURSE. people!

The only problem, i've gone so long without a purse (years!) that i have nothing to put in it.

Whenever the hubs and I go out, i have my phone MAYBE and that's it. I never take my card case or chapstick because 1. ryan always pays and 2. he always has chapstick.

so, here's my first step to becoming more of a lady and carrying a purse with a small card case (license and debit card), lizard lips chapstick (the BEST ever chapstick) and my iPhone 8 that I got off the black market. It calls and texts. So cool right?

Who knows... i may become the purse lady that has EVERYTHING you need in there. Oh you need some tape and scissors? Got it. Fingernail clippers? Check. a flashlight, a candle, shampoo, a cup, it's in there too. 

one for the money

Saw this with grandma because she's been reading these books.I don't know

about you but after seeing it, being a bounty hunter looks

pretty.

dang.

cool.

Must be the whole shooting-guns thing. I want one.

car wash

When I was little, I LOVED driving through the car wash with my mom. The one where you got to stay inside the car and drive through as those big brushes would spin and those big noodles would slide over the hood. I know you know what I'm talking about. It was super cool right? Well, I had that flashback the other week as Ryan was washing the car and I was inside waiting. As much as I loved the carwash when I was younger, this time i had a much better view from my seat. :) Is that bias if i say he's the best car washer ever?

merry monday

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's been a long few days of unpacking into our new place.

Even though it was just the weekend, sometimes you need a nap on a Monday to recover from the weekend right? Someone can tell me theyre taking a nap today to make me feel better. it's all about me not feeling guilty people! Happy monday!

food friday- TOSTILOCOS

Tostilocos

The first time I had this was on my honeymoon. My husband served an L.D.S. church mission in Mexico so he was the one who introduced me to this lovely bag of food. We went back to Mexico after 3 years of being there and it was a snack we had to get. Who knows when we'll be able to eat this again. Yes, we can find a recipe online but i'm sorry, i don't think it will ever be the same. I've been diligently searching for the recipe and I found some blogs that 1.) made a healthier version (no thank-you) or 2.) sites with the recipe but missing ingredients. Either way, here's one I found off of epicurious (with some modification on my part) but if you can find one that's as authentic as it could be... Pa-pa-pa-please share. :)

after listening to your frustrations of not having a job or anything to keep you productive in the mean time and he says.....

"it's okay; i'm sure a job will come along. just enjoy this time and do things for yourself. Go get a massage, lay by the pool with a good book, and you can even start working on all those projects you want to do off pinterest."

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did he really just say that? He really is the bestest.
