Easter Cake

       I love celebrating Easter! It is such a happy and fun day. I am as usual, terribly tired because I have worked non-stop all week. I can not wait until the day I can sleep in, relax, and catch up on all my shows! Last night, my mom, brother and his girlfriend dipped eggs and had dinner. My mom and I made this carrot-shaped cake we had seen in a magazine and it took a lot of time and patience and neither of the two I posess. I have been reading this book lately called, The Power of Pause and it discusses taking time away from our busy lives to relax and marvel at the little things in life and I have been doing that. Being with my family today was really nice just watching hockey and going to the park with my young cousins. I will be posting again soon, until then goodbye!

Delicious and Easy Dinner.

 

 A couple days ago, I made a delicous gnocchi with meatballs and peas. It was simple since I had the packaged gnocchi from an amazing store called, World Market. I added some Trader Joe's meatballs and some peas, then I made a heavy cream based sauce that thickened to a happy consistency. I am going to try a deep-dish pizza from scratch next week when I have time! I am currently posting at 1am but I have decided that I don't need sleep and there aren't enough hours in the day! Let's hope I don't crash halfway through school tomorrow!

-I realize that making this list is a little crazy since i am not having a child right now and won't be for a while but I love these names, they are so sweet and different, and I like being unique and not following the normal thing to do, or what anybody would expect. I have been thinking about having lots of kids lately, it sounds so amazing to have tons of little ones around. It is almost Valentine's Day and I find that obnoxious, not because I am bitter that I am single, but because it is such a waste of a holiday. I am going to bed since it is the superbowl tomorrow, and I am having my loved ones' over, let's go Steelers!

Crepes

   Today I didn't have to work until 11, so I decided I should make breakfast for my family. I picked this crepe mix up from work a while ago and haven't had time to make them until today. I decided to put chocolate chips and bananas inside the crepe, and on top, (I went crazy) and added powdered sugar, whipped cream, syrup and heath bar chips on them. It was absolutely delicious and I could have had thirty. This meal was a success!

     Since I have been constantly watching Sex and the City, fashion has been on my mind. While I can't quite remember where I found these two photos I really enjoy them and find the art and beauty in each one. The outfits are so chic and exciting I needed to post them. This is my second consecutive day posting which is odd, but hopefully can occur more often, I love to post i am just so busy running around there doesn't seem to be time. Well, it looks like Tuesday is starting to turn my week around. And now, I have plans for Saturday with a dear friend, so I have inspiration to make it through the first week back at school! 

What a day....

I have had such a Monday it is hard to fathom. Today was my first day back at school and I of course, arrived fashionably tardy. I tried my best to get out of the house as quick as possible but time was my enemy today, as it always is. After school, I was very very hungry and wanted to relax in front of the fire and eat, but dinner was not ready and my dad and brothers didn't look like they were going to get anything together very quickly. So, I decided to make delicious homemade pizzas, I just wanted to turn my Monday around and bake a delicious dinner to make my family happy. The pizza was of course a hit(not meaning to toot my own horn or anything) and really very uniquely made. But, then, I knew the only thing to really end my Monday with a bang would be dessert. Oh dessert. So good. Yet such a hard thing to conquer. I found a recipe for "Unfussy Apple Cake" well, unfussy it was not. While the ingredients were simple the cake decided to take twice as long as it needed to and sort of looks like bread pudding. The problem occured when I went to put it on a nice plate to cool and it fell in half with runny, battery dough all over the place. I will try this again one day but for today it tasted good with my eyes closed. Hope this wasn't a taste of how my week will be.

Christmas Present.

   I recently bought these shoes, and they have been such a great purchase. I love how they are nude/light light pink and can go with almost everything in my wardrobe. Altough they look like ankle breakers they are very comfortable. They were a slight splurge since I was shopping for other people when I bought them but, c'est la vie:)
