  1. LEO WON AN OSCAR.  (coming to you from Monday morning – this is the first thing on my mind and i'll totally forget to talk about it.  BUT HE WON!!)
  2. central park hills are NO JOKE.  my long run last week is STILL leaving me feeling it.
  3. can I tell you a secret?  I loveeeee starbucks (< not the secret) and I loveeee lattes (< also not the secret) but… I'm kindof not really into any lattee that doesn't involve mocha.  WHAT?!  I know. I know.  I just think the chocolate makes the latte… velvety?  is that a thing?  all other lattes are too milky!  WAHHH.
  4. i think i'm skipping my run today.  ughhhhh.  i went out to dinner with my dad last night and we had a few too many margaritas and the idea of hitting central park to tackle 8 miles worth of hills sounds HORRIBLE.  do i run 8 miles tomorrow?  what do i doooo?
  5. i love this.  don't get me wrong, i'm grossly in love with my boyfriend, but i feel like it's inspiring to see strong women who are independent with lives that run just fine without a man.
  6. also, i'm strangely obsessed with the beckhams.  I CAN'T EVEN.
  7. TV | game of thrones | we finished!  how exciting.  except um. NO to everything.  i'm over it all.  UGH.  i can't wait for the next season.  also, how did we not see Bran ONCE that season.  RIDICULOUS. ugh.  | HTGAWM | i've only watched one of the episodes so i don't actually know what the last episode had in it!  DONT TELL ME.  same for |scandal| i didn't get around to watching that eitherrrr.
  8. hahahahahha these are great.
  9. TULIPS are the bestttttt.  i love red and white tulips combined they're so cute ?

Red Wine Marshmallow-7

when was the last time you let yourself be TRULY indulgent?

i don't care if your answer was one second ago, it's been too long.  would it bee cool with you if we had a moment right now?  one that's just a little bit awkward but we both don't care because we know the gratification is way more important than feeling awkward?  one that puts us in a sugar coma and makes us forget why vegetables exist?

cool. let's do it. (no offense to veggies. lurrrveee youuuu)

{Brunch: Al Pastor Tacos @ Cascabel Taqueria}

  1. i'm ashamed about this but like not ashamed enough to not tell you: yesterday, i ate cold peanut noodles for breakfast…. i'm probably going to do it again too.  i can't help it.  WAHH.
  2. YES – number 22 was my life.  also, 19, 16, AND 11 was the WORST.  I don't know why i'm saying was, she still does number 11.  and loves to facetime me when shes at the bar and then pass the phone around so i can see “you know, my friend tom.  YOU KNOW TOM.  yes you do!  he's the guy from work that you met when you were 8.”  … every. single. time.  ?  love ya mom!
  3. when your boyfriend has busy season, you invest your free time in friends marathons and doing the dishes.  <- exciting lives
  4. cadbury eggs are backkkkk! they're the best.
  5. pshh puhleaseeeee, you know I got every single one right.
  6. i spent a gross amount of money on procompression socks this week.  who even am i?  but they're 40% off right now!!  if you're interested lemme know and i'll give you the code i found!
  7. GAH. frankie hasn't been home to catch up on our faves (scandal and HTGAWM are on the docket tonight with some game of thrones).  On my own i've been watching catfish, friends (a whole lot of friends), and um. the bachelor ? how embarrassing.  (not as embarrassing as spelling embarrassing wrong TWICE and succumbing to the spell check function.)
  8. HEY LOOK ^^ i learned how to add emojis!  (if you have a mac you can just press and hold control, command, and the spacebar at the same time and a menu pops up!)
  9. i secretly want to learn how to make this does that make me… old?

Half Marathon Training: One Month In

02.24.16

img_6531 I struggled with whether or not to do this series.  I hate clouding the blog with non-food related posts, mainly because I'm conscious of it after a few comments from loyal readers.  here's the thing: the blog is my creative outlet and I love sharing my life with you guys… and running has become a part of my life.  which sounds SO WEIRD.

When I tell people “I'm training for a half marathon” I quickly follow-up with “but I'm not a runner!” or “I'm SO slow though, don't be impressed!” Read More

Onion Soup Roasted Potatoes

02.23.16

Do you guys have a food that just COMPLETELY reminds you of your childhood?

These potatoes do that for me.  They’re a side that my auntie donna made EVERY time I went over their house.  and i LOVED them.  she used to say it was so easy having me over because my favorite stuff was the easiest to make.  I never believed her because no matter HOW hard i tried i couldn’t get them just right.

So i asked her secret.  and, yes, i’m going to share it with you.   Read More
