Life in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

Utah – The Food!

One reason I love traveling is to go to new restaurants! I got to try tons of new places while I was in Salt Lake City. This is what I ate while in Utah with my family! Time for WIAW :) Thanks for hosting, Jenn! Part 1 Part 2 Part … [Read more...] about Utah – The Food!

Whole Wheat Pesto Pizza with Mushrooms and Kale

I don't really know what to post about anymore. Now that I've recapped my whole trip to Utah, I'm not sure what to write about! I like to write about my days, but lately they've all been pretty similar ----> Cross Country, Eat, Work, Eat, Bed. And pretty soon throwing school in there too. I've … [Read more...] about Whole Wheat Pesto Pizza with Mushrooms and Kale

Utah Part 3 – Janae, Mount Rushmore, and Braking Down

Part 1 Part 2 Wednesday was our third and final day in Utah. After a quick run, Mom drove me down to Provo to see Janae! We went to the Green Me truck for smoothies. So yummy! After that Mom and I got lunch and it started raining... again. It rained every day we were in Utah. After a … [Read more...] about Utah Part 3 – Janae, Mount Rushmore, and Braking Down

Utah Part 2 – University of Utah, Park City, and Bridal Veil Falls

Part 1 here! Our second day in Utah was filled with things to do. First, my cousin Tricia gave us a tour of the University of Utah, where she goes to school! Campus was beautiful. Dorms: I don't know if I see myself there in the future. But who knows! After that we went to … [Read more...] about Utah Part 2 – University of Utah, Park City, and Bridal Veil Falls

Utah Part 1 – Driving Out, Dress Shopping, and Trader Joes

Me, my mom, my aunt, and my cousin drove out to Salt Lake City last week to bring my other cousin home from Utah and to help my other cousin plan wedding things(!). It was a 5:30 am wake up to leave from Michigan last Saturday. 1,614 miles to Salt Lake. There's not much to say … [Read more...] about Utah Part 1 – Driving Out, Dress Shopping, and Trader Joes

Summer Berry Oatmeal

I. Love. Oatmeal. I can't believe that took me 13 years to figure out. Thirteen, people! While I could've been nourishing my body with heart healthy oats, instead I chose to eat frozen pancakes, Danimals, and sugary cereals for breakfast.  There are so many of … [Read more...] about Summer Berry Oatmeal

Inspiring Blogger Award

Quite a while ago (I procrastinated writing this) Lauren nominated me for the Inspiring Blogger Award! I was so honored. Lauren is a super speedy runner and an such an awesome girl! I don't typically partake in these kinds of tags but I thought it would be a fun thing to do. I love … [Read more...] about Inspiring Blogger Award

Track 2014

So. Since track has been done for about two months I should probably write my post about it ;) I realized this year that I'm not a huge fan of track. I like running, but not this kind of running. I like long, slow, leisurely runs... not all out sprints around a circle. You feel me? I had some … [Read more...] about Track 2014

Garden Update and Blueberry Pickin’!

I've missed posting! But to be honest, I don't have much to say. I was at basketball camp from Monday-Wednesday, and then on Thursday I started a job!!  I now make pizzas and make money while doing it. Quite a good job, if you ask me ;) Friday was spent in the great outdoors. I did … [Read more...] about Garden Update and Blueberry Pickin’!

Brunch {7/20}

Yesterday morning we had the family over for brunch and the first meal all together at the new house!  Past brunches: February, March, April, May  On the menu: I made the cinnamon rolls and bagels, and Mom took care of the quiche, breakfast pizza, and strawberries. My … [Read more...] about Brunch {7/20}

Black Bean Mango Sweet Potato Nachos

I first heard of "sweet potato" nachos way back when I started blogging about a year and a half ago. I always wanted to try them but never did... what if I use the wrong toppings? What if I don't make the potatoes right? What if they're gross? These are the struggles that go … [Read more...] about Black Bean Mango Sweet Potato Nachos
