The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.
– James Oppenheim

P is for Pancakes | Munchies
22 06 2011I woke up this morning with a craving for some sweet sweet pancakes…only problem was I didn’t have pancake mix. So I thought to myself, it can’t be that hard to make them from scratch. While it wasn’t hard to make them it was hard to eat them. I was totally disappointed with the recipe I got online.
Do not be fooled by their golden edges. They. were. terrrrrible.
I tried adding more sugar, that didn’t help.
I tried adding more milk, that didn’t help.
I tried adding more flour, that didn’t help.
Martha Stewart would be disappointed.
Feeling defeated, I threw them all out. I ended up having blackberries and toast with peanut butter and honey instead. Smooth recovery.
Should you want to try the recipe yourself(although not recommended):
1 1/2 c Flour
1 Egg
1 tbsp Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1 tbsp Oil
1 1/2 c Sweet Milk
Mix together and enjoy with your favorite syrup(or not…just sayin) 🙂
If you have a better recipe please fill me in! I’m still craving some good pancakes…

Arrangements by Anne | Nature | Floral
6 06 2011I am so blessed to live in the Tree house and be surrounded by such creative roommates. Katie and I are both photographers and Anne is super talented in the floral department. Just check out her work. Beautiful.
Decided to have a little fun and turn this last pic in to a painting. Thoughts?

Mint Milkshake | Munchies
7 03 2011It’s the return of mason jar milkshakes!
This time Mint Oreo…nom nom nom.
You will need:
*Ice Cream *Milk *Mint Oreos
Side note: I have always considered myself a Blue Bell girl but in an attempt to be frugal I went with Great Value and let me just say, YUM! Twice as delicious and half the price? Yes please!
Cookies! I heart sweets and anything mint 🙂
The mason jar is ready and waiting!
Dominated.
That was D-lish! Worth every calorie 🙂
I’ve decided I’m going to create a new mason jar milkshake each month. Let me know if you have any tasty ideas and I’ll give them a shot.

Torchy’s Tacos | Munchies
17 02 2011Torchy’s Tacos speaks for itself. Delicious! Any location, any time. If you live in Austin and you haven’t eaten at Torchy’s, shame on you. You’re missin out.
My staple, the Green Chile Pork Taco.
Slow roasted pork carnitas simmered with green chiles and topped with queso fresco, cilantro, onions(- the onions on mine) and a wedge of lime. Served with tasty tomatillo sauce.
Coming in at a VERY close second, the Fried Avocado Taco.
Hand-battered fresh avocados fried and served with vegetarian refried beans, topped with pico, lettuce and cheese. Served with poblano sauce.
Their tag line is SO right. Their tacos are always…

Valentine’s Day | Holidays
15 02 2011So yesterday was Valentine’s Day, generally known as a single girl’s nightmare! Gasp! Oh my, you don’t have a Valentine?! To that I say, who gives a woot? This Monday was just like any other…jammy jams, wine, friends and The Bachelor. Granted there were a lot more sweets than usual…cheesecake(personal fav), cookies, cupcakes, chocolate covered fortune cookies, chocolates oh and a little fruit in an attempt to cancel out all the sweets 🙂
Although I’m not much of a Valentine’s person, I still couldn’t hold back when I came across the cutest Valentine’s card the other day. And by cutest, I mean cutest card EVER!! Ok I might be a little partial because the puppy on the right looks just like Jackson when he was a pup but either way it was love at first sight.
A little comparison.
I KNOW, right?! Do you see why I fell in the love with the card?
Then I opened the card…and I knew it was for me. They say it’s what’s on the inside that counts and they’re right, whoever “they” are.
My pup on the front and a cuddle reference on the inside, this card was made for me.
How was your Valentine’s?
Were you looking for a heart melting moment?
Were you longing for old love?
Or are you still looking for that great love?
In any case, always remember:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1 Corinthians 13: 4-7
Happy Valentine’s Day!
