Jumbo Blueberry Oatmeal Flax Muffins

A recipe perfect for when that craving for something sweet hits. These are healthy enough to eat for breakfast! The reason I don't bake very often is this: when I bake, I eat. (Also I'm not very successful at baking haha;). I tell myself I'm only going to have one, but come on, who stops at … [Read more...] about Jumbo Blueberry Oatmeal Flax Muffins

Spring Weekend Snapshsots

I wish all weekends were like this. No obligations, nothing to keep me from doing whatever I want! Creative juices aren't flowing for a nice intro so here are some pics from the weekend. I'd say it was very marvelous! First bike ride of the season!!! Oh hey Taylor... it's been … [Read more...] about Spring Weekend Snapshsots

wiaw: soup supper and grandma’s birthday

Goood morning! I thought I would start out today with a poem. WIAW is really the best.  We look and we drool over all of the rest. Some like their veggies, some like their fruit, Everyone likes to eat up their loot! Okay. I'm sorry. I had to. Anyway, here are my eats from yesterday, … [Read more...] about wiaw: soup supper and grandma’s birthday

good food and happy thoughts

And just like that, spring break is over. *insert crying emoji* ;)  Back to school today! To be honest, I was getting a leetle bit lonely. I am a hermit if I'm not forced to go in public. For example: I washed my hair once during spring break. You can see how greasy it was in the picture of me … [Read more...] about good food and happy thoughts

Sweet and Savory Salmon

Salmon. Do you like it? I used to be disgusted at the thought of salmon. It's so ugly haha! I tried grilling it last summer but couldn't get over that fishy taste. Still, I kept eating it on occasion since it has so many health benefits. Finally, I've developed a taste for it and think it's … [Read more...] about Sweet and Savory Salmon

Noodles are good fuel for shopping.

Hello everyone! Yesterday mom and I took a trip down to Appleton for a little spring break getaway. After a quick 5k run for me we headed out! I brought my oatmeal in the car. Still lovin' the combo of bloobs, pomegranate arils and peanut butter! After I finished my oatmeal I got to … [Read more...] about Noodles are good fuel for shopping.

Cooking With Lynn #7 – Deep Dish Pizza

Spring break is treating me niiice, sleeping in and watching Food Network all day! Except, ya know, track practice at 10 and driving lessons right after... but that's beside the point. No school! Sunday was another highly successful night of Cooking With Lynn. New around here? Lynn is my step-mom … [Read more...] about Cooking With Lynn #7 – Deep Dish Pizza

Freshman Year Basketball Season

Since basketball has been done now for about a month I figure I should probably get a post about the season up :D I had a great year. I got moved up to the JV (Junior Varsity) team and ended the season with 13 wins and 4 losses!  I averaged 14 points a game! I was also … [Read more...] about Freshman Year Basketball Season

A Day in Marquette

I kind of lied when I said I didn't have any plans this weekend. Yesterday ended up being packed with fun! I enjoyed a leisurely breakfast of overnight oatmeal, topped with frozen bloobs, pomegranate arils, and peanut butter. It was my first time trying arils - yum!! I was getting into a … [Read more...] about A Day in Marquette

I love food. Even on rest days.

Hey guys, Happy Saturday! Snow days like yesterday are awesome. An extra seven hours to do whatever I please? Perfect. It actually ended up being a really sunny day! It's kind of a tradition that whenever we have a snow day my mom and I go to town and go out for lunch. She's a teacher so she … [Read more...] about I love food. Even on rest days.
