My Life According To...

Hi! From my bed...

Let's talk about the past 48 hours.

Let's just say that the picture above speaks for itself...food poisoning. 

I vow to never again eat Taco Cabana as long as I live...oh,oh I can't even look at black beans or eggs or even thing about salsa or pico de gallo right now. Bleh. 

I have now been living off of grape pedialyte, gluten-free toast with butter and apple butter, Blue Bell Bullets, and oh, oh, the highlight chicken soup. It has all been pretty eventful. 

Not.

Now, I would have something delicious to show you today, like a cake, or a pie, or wait...I can't even begin to think about food because I just might vomit. 

Instead, all me to amuse you with my life this past week according to my Iphone.

I think I have a sweet tooth

no?

 More of like an addiction to cookies

 and cookie dough

and more cookies

and cookie batter

and what's that? Brown Butter. 

Yes.

Oh, surprise, surprise.

 my fave snack of latest: peanut butter on a spoon.

 Heaven? Yes.

You know what else I love?

Rainy days

that make for gorgeous sunsets.

I love breaking out my summer clothes

finding my Keds

and my pretty blue dress 

at the back of my closet.

I just love springtime.

It brings lovely 

flowers

and bright nail polish

 with names like peach bellini

oh, oh, and glasses of sweet, crisp, white wine on the patio at dusk.

This gorgeous spring weather means less couch sitting, and more dog walking...

 Princess and I are developing quite the buddy-buddy friendship.

Spring also means inspiration for veggie lunches...at least for me.

Roasted Carrots, Roasted Cauliflower and Peas with Hot Curry Spice, Babaj Ghanoush, and that thing we just won't mention in the white

 Roasted Cinnamon Butternut Squash and Arugula.

What I am super excited about right now:


Exhibit A:

I nearly died.


These people tend to steal my money...for a bag-load of pajamas. 

The downside of my sickness: my parents have lost their chef for a couple of days.


Turkey Burger

on gluten-free bread, with tomato, romaine, and yogurt thousand island dressing

that cheesy, corn-bready thing,

 and pan-seared chicken.

I have been craving these, with a big side of hummus...all day. everyday. 

Fun fact: I like to drink my coffee with a straw...it keeps my teeth white

you can thank me later

My weekend started off with a bang...Dad and I visit Kemah on Saturday morning and sat near the water for a good chat and coffee 

I love Bingo scratch-offs...I only treat myself to them on the weekends.

I have been quite the little gym rat lately...I love strength training. 

I like to satisfy my sweet tooth with berries and yogurt

I love getting all dolled up for weddings


pretty hair

and cute heels

The food was actually pretty decent...Greek salad

and the bride's mom even had a special gluten-free chocolate cake made for her daughter, and myself...so awesome

The wedding was held in an old historic building in Galveston

Dad and Mom two-stepped the night away

and Mom got a bit tipsy.

 It was a classic good ole' wedding.


Of course, our next door neighbor decides to casually drop off his homemade lemon custard as I am in the prime of my sickness last night

I just imagined how good it tasted.




Is it weird to thank your nurse after injecting you with a shot in the rear end? I almost feel 100% better.




MANGIA!!!
