Happy Thanksgiving! Being in California right now makes it feel more like May rather than almost December. As I sit here in shorts and a tank top, I am feeling thankful for the weather! :) The other morning, one of my younger sisters, Jordyn, and I wanted to make everyone breakfast. We decided to do a healthy spin off one of our favorites, French Toast! Are…
I have officially made it to Southern California! I landed late last night and was welcomed by warm weather and palm trees. I’ve missed this! Travel days are long and boring. I had a 5 hour flight, followed by a 2 hour layover, followed by another 1 hour flight, so when I finally reached baggage claim I wanted to kiss the ground and do a dance..…
Happy Monday! I’m currently people watching in the Philadelphia International Airport waiting to board my flight to California! Airports and traveling are something that I’m used to, so flying doesn’t bother me. However, the sweet lady sitting next to me has so much perfume on that it’s hard to breathe, so if that is my biggest issue at the moment, I guess I’m good! This week…
Brrr! It is freezing outside!! Today was in the low 20’s and high winds. The sky was clear and beautiful, though! Right now I’m in Philadelphia. I’m officially on my last Thanksgiving Break from school, ever. EVER. How weird is that… DJ is originally from Philly, so I’m visiting for a long weekend before flying out to spend Thanksgiving with my dad & his family in California.…
I love mornings when you can sip coffee and relax. Yesterday was one of those mornings! I’m a bit of a coffee addict. I love it! There’s no such thing as too much coffee in my opinion. :) Pictured above: Egg Whites Scramble: 3 egg whites, yellow bell pepper, spinach: topped with a tablespoon of medium chunky salsa *Side of fresh Roma tomato *Side of ¼…
This weekend the weather was beautiful! It’s been super cold and snowy in West Virginia, so on weekends like these, I embrace the outdoors. Pictured above is an overlook called Coopers Rock. My roommate, Sara, and I walked up there as the sun was starting to set on Thursday. Usually, we hike down through the mountain, but since we arrived as the sun was setting, we…
My house is covered in meatballs!!! It’s amazing how many you can make with a pound of ground turkey. Good thing these meatballs are so dang tasty! ;) Dj really loved these too… when asking him what I should call them he suggested, “uhh.. ‘Really Good Meatballs’?" I’m really picky when eating out, and generally stray away from bulky meats, such as meatloaf or meatballs. I…
This week we had our first real snow fall of the winter! I love the snow. It’s so beautiful! I’m not a big fan of the cold, but if it snows, I don’t think it’s that bad. :) My school is too pretty when it snows! It also got me in the holiday cheer and I blasted Christmas music throughout my apartment… it’s never too early!…
