My 2015 Summer Bucket List

June 3, 2015 by Melissa

Even though I've graduated from college & have been in the "real world" for a good year and a half, I'm still under the illusion there is such a thing as a Summer Vacation. Maybe it's from the 23-ish years that I'd had one, I'm not sure, but I do know that I'm not ready to give up the idea of one. There is something so…

Protein Packed, Low-Fat Ranch Dressing

June 1, 2015 by Melissa
Homemade Healthy Ranch Dressing

Guys. Guys. GUYS! Protein packed, low fat, low cal, and dare I say it, *healthy* ranch dressing was made this weekend! Okay, confession time. I am a total ranch lover. Although, restaurant/homemade ranch definitely steals my heart. One time, my friend Tyler sent me a picture of a gigantic ranch dispenser at the zoo because it reminded him of me. So, yes, you can say I'm…

Link Love; ser. 4

May 29, 2015 by Melissa

The more I share with you my week's link obsessions from around the web, the more I realize just how quickly weeks go. This week, I signed up for grad school pre-req courses, set up my masters program interview in D.C., AND drove all the way up to Richmond, VA to see my brother & family. This weekend, we're going to a 1,000 foot water slide…

Roasted Balsamic Glazed Cranberry Pecan Brussels Sprouts

May 27, 2015 by Melissa
Roasted Balsamic Glazed Brussels Sprouts

Oh, Brussels sprouts, the most misunderstood veggie out there. [Side note- did anyone else know it's spelled Brussels sprouts & not brussel sprouts? You really do learn something new every day ;) ] I was on a mission: make my boyfriend like Brussels sprouts. It was a pretty large goal to tackle, but I was up for it. I'd already won this battle once, so I…

Cheesy Chicken Omelets

May 26, 2015 by Melissa

  Is there anything better after a long weekend than a fluffy, cheesy, jammed packed with goodness omelet? This weekend, Dj and I drove to my mom's house in North Carolina. It's a looooong, 9 hour drive, so the last thing I want to do when getting home is putting together a crazy meal. I'm looking for comfort food, warm, and extremely low-hassle. I'm a big…

Prepared for Warmer Weather: Drinks & Salads

May 24, 2015 by Melissa

  When the weather begins to heat up, my food & drink preferences change. I no longer crave cooler weather comfort foods like soup or heartier meals, such as chili (even though it's delish). I begin to migrate towards salads, smoothies, iced coffee, cold wraps, hummus inspired dishes, lighter choices for everyday snacking, and plenty of fruits in different varieties! [My clothing choice also begins to…

I can't believe another Friday is already upon us! Do you have any special plans this weekend? Dj and I are going up to my mom's in North Carolina for the long, holiday weekend. It's my brother, Chris's birthday, so we'll also be making a trip up to Richmond, VA to see him! My best friend, Amanda, will be joining in on the fun so I'll…

My Top 10 Fashion Icons & Their Instas!

May 20, 2015 by Melissa

When it comes to my personal style, I'm all over the place. There are days where I will spend 45 minutes on my makeup & hair alone, and there are others where I'll hop out of the shower and rock the au natural look. ;) One thing that I really do love is following style icons on Instagram. It's so fun seeing a glimpse into their…
