  1. GUYS. does anyone have any tips on what to eat before a long run?  i've tried to do research, but almost everything i read says “you have to try stuff out.” … which isn't helpful at all.  sigh.
  2. What'd you do for st. patrick's day??  we didn't do much around here.  i had work and saw some of the parade from my office!
  3. do you ever just feel like you need to take a vacation?  i feel like i need one.  ugh.  maybe an all inclusive resort?  yes, please.
  4. i imagine these people would all be best friends with my boyfriend.  he loves a good 7/11 slurpee.
  5. i just made a batch of my favorite flourless brownie muffins today for breakfast all week and i'm so excited.
  6. one of my classmates from college got married this weekend and looked like the MOST stunning bride.  i have serious jealous pains over here.
  7. TV.  i can't even do this category this week because i'm still reeling from being made fun of by frankie about how i wasn't into watching how to get away with murder and i was going to write this post and just say “i didn't get to watch it blah blah blah.” … which is true. but we're still skipping it.
  8. I bought new knives from bed bath and beyond! eek! i'm so excited. they're copper ❤️
  9. this is probably the best quiz on buzzfeed right now and i don't even care.

  1. so like, HOW DOES ONE HANDLE THIS???? that's ME.  she linked back to ME and MY BLOG.  i'm dead.  she's TRYING to kill me i'm 90% sure.  we had a  TWITTER EXCHANGE the other night and it was so fun.  and like now i'm trying to figure out how we can become best friends without me seeming like an obsessed fangirl creeper.  this reminds me of the time i saw the dad and son of the holderness family on the street and i literally was star struck and just watched them walk away…. WHO DOES THAT?  no one.  i'm so bizarre.  but really, how do i make jessica like me?
  2. you guys.  nine miles?  its no joke.  its blisters and crying and hills and salt/sweat and TIREDNESS.  i'm just SO tired.
  3. but i'm really wondering about all of these.
  4. in real life, i bought the inspiralizer and i'm SO excited to use it. yes i already have a spiralizer… but i needed the INspiralizer. its a thing.  just go with it.
  5. today was the first NYCFC game!  Yay! our seats were way better than last year.  we sprung for a section with actual seats instead of bleachers.  so good.
  6. i feel like this weekend FLEW by.  did it fly by for you or am i weird?  oy.  i'm probably weird.
  7. TV.  We caught up on everything!  honestly i don't have much to say about anything though.  i just really am dying to know all about HTGAWM & the mahoney guy who might be wes's father.  also. scandal. i still love the liv/mellie power couple.  i'm really into it.  also! i'm knees deep in a friends binge.  idk where it came from but i watched like two seasons this weekend… so bizarre.
  8. i'm considering purchasing an embosser.  is that weird? like with my address on it.  idk. i signed a two year lease though! so maybe i should?
  9. i don't necessarily agree with all of these, but its still a good read for someone who's trying to undergo a body transformation.

Roasted Cauliflower Soup-10

alright, let's just put it out there.  this roasted cauliflower soup is NOT the prettiest thing i've ever made.  but its freaking delicious and worth every bite.

it's no secret that i love roasted cauliflower.  its just SO GOOD.  ya know?  i've always been a veggie lover.  and i really do love my veggies roasted, i prefer it over steamed any day.  which is why when i set out to make a cauliflower soup i thought, why not roast the cauliflower first?!  <- genius moment.
