Life in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

Homecoming Dance 2014

As I said on Sunday, I would post the pictures from the homecoming dance in a separate post :) I'll let the pictures do the talking! Mom was amazing and made us a spaghetti dinner that we enjoyed in the backyard! Thank you so much Mama, you rock. Enough about the food. Here are the pictures … [Read more...] about Homecoming Dance 2014

Homecoming 2014

Another Homecoming Week is over! It's a lot of fun, but I don't think I could do it for any more than a week. With cross country practice, hall decorating, and airband practice I get to school at 7:30 and don't get home until 10:30 at night! Here are a few pics from the week - I'll … [Read more...] about Homecoming 2014

Roasted Tomato Blender Soup

Another Monday. I don't mind, though, since it's Homecoming Week! Posts probably won't be very frequent these next few days since I'll be playing powderpuff tonight, going to my meet tomorrow, hall decorating Wednesday and Thursday, going to the game on Friday, and the dance on Saturday! And yes, I … [Read more...] about Roasted Tomato Blender Soup

Fashion Friday {9/15 – 9/18}

Yay! It's Friday. Three weeks of school are done already! I was battling a cold most of this week so it wasn't too enjoyable of one for me. I'm just about feeling better now, though, so I hope I'm done with my cold for the year! Here are this week's outfits :D Monday shirt: topshop maxi skirt: … [Read more...] about Fashion Friday {9/15 – 9/18}

Weekend things

It's been awhile since I did a weekend recap post and I had a pretty fun filled one, so today I'm linking up with Katie for Marvelous in My Monday! I had a cross country meet in Shawano, WI, about 2.5 hours away. I brought some overnight oats with me for the 6:30 AM leave time. Lately I've … [Read more...] about Weekend things

Fashion Friday {9/8 – 9/11}

It's already Friday! Two weeks of school now done :) Here are my outfits this week from Monday through Thursday! I think it's probably the last week I'll get to wear summer clothes... boo. Fall is definitely here. I am off to a huge cross country meet tomorrow (all the way in Wisconsin!) and then we … [Read more...] about Fashion Friday {9/8 – 9/11}

Quinoa, Black Bean, and Chickpea Salad (guest post on Cooking Quinoa)

Look at that beauty. That just so happens to be vegan, gluten free, and loaded with all kinds of flavors. We've got quinoa added to some sauteed garlic and onions, cooked in vegetable broth, then stirred with a can of black beans and chickpeas that all combine for one of the … [Read more...] about Quinoa, Black Bean, and Chickpea Salad (guest post on Cooking Quinoa)

Fashion Friday! {first week of school}

After a whole summer of no fashion posts, Fashion Friday is BACK! If you're new around here, every Friday I post my outfits from the week. If you guys have any suggestions for these posts please share! :) Tuesday Obviously have to get the awkward-backpack-lunchbox-standing-in-front-of-house … [Read more...] about Fashion Friday! {first week of school}

Brunch {9/1} and Life Lately

SEPTEMBER. How is this even possible? I swear each month keeps getting faster in 2014. For Labor Day we hosted brunch at our house. On the menu: For some reason my cinnamon rolls haven't been rising lately and I don't know what's wrong. They still taste okay but aren't fluffy. Any ideas what's up … [Read more...] about Brunch {9/1} and Life Lately

Zucchini Bread

I have so many zucchini from my garden right now it's unbelievable. I've been making zucchini bread like it's my job. But I have a confession - I've been making the same recipe each time. It's almost a sin since I'm a foodie and all. I should be trying different recipes and seeing the … [Read more...] about Zucchini Bread

Vegan Quinoa Sweet Potato Kale Chili

I am a food hoarder. I buy all of this fancy food and then I don't eat it. I let in sit in the pantry and expire and get stale. I don't want to eat it because then eventually it will run out then I won't have any more because for some reason my mind thinks it's the last package of it in … [Read more...] about Vegan Quinoa Sweet Potato Kale Chili

Recipe Redux: Chocolate Quinoa Energy Balls

Ahhh, Fair Week. You have lost your appeal to me. Last week you came to town, lighting up the night and providing the perfect hangout for anybody and everybody. I used to look forward to you all year long. To my own elephant ear and Norm's fries. To every Wednesday, when Grandma would go … [Read more...] about Recipe Redux: Chocolate Quinoa Energy Balls
