California pt. 5: FOOD

(part 1, 2, 3, 4) We did a lot of eating in California.  I love eating. Starbucks I finally had Starbucks for the first time while in San Fran.

California pt. 3 {Alcatraz & Fisherman’s Wharf}

Vegan Tuna Salad Lettuce Wraps

It's been a long time since I posted a recipe. To be honest, it's been a long time since I even cooked anything (unless you count my work, but that's different!).

California pt. 1 {Ghiradelli Square, Chinatown, & November Project!}

Hi, Internet. I'm not sure where to start after not posting for three weeks but I guess I'll throw it back to June 16th when I left for California! There were a few mishaps getting there.

It only put us … [Read more...] about California pt. 1 {Ghiradelli Square, Chinatown, & November Project!}

I've already done so much stuff this summer and plan on keeping it up.  I went to my first rodeo and … [Read more...] about Summer Fun

Grilling and the Garden

By the time everyone reads this I'll either be in flight or in... CALIFORNIA! I'm a little excited. With that being said I most likely won't be posting until I get back next week. And with the frequency of my posts lately... that's pretty normal. But I will definitely be posting very often … [Read more...] about Grilling and the Garden

Life is Good

SUMMER IS HERE. I … [Read more...] about Life is Good

I Got Bit by a Dog

Sorry for going missing this past week but I have been having quite the adventures! It's crazy how your night can change in the blink of an eye.
