Fall/Summer cooking

I can’t believe how long it’s been since I have written a blog post! Let’s get right down to some fall/summer cooking…. First of all, I wanted to show you this colorful image I took. All these fruits and veggies were from the summer/fall market! Isn’t that arrangement beautiful? There are some crisp apples, an Asian…

Taco Salad & Icy Drink

Left-overs are awesome:) For all the people that are planners…. Isn’t it so much easier/quicker if you get double the meat and veggies on the front end? Then you can cook up a nice meal the night before, and still have a delicious lunch (that doesn’t require the stove/oven) the next day. My mom discovered…

Fuel for Summer Dance Intensive

  I can’t believe I’m already 1/2 way through Summer Dance Intensive. It’s been so much fun!!! Not only have I done ballet, but I’ve worked on Jazz, Modern, and Character. So, when I got high heels for character, that was my first time in a heeled shoe like that! However, I would call pointe shoes the extreme high heel;) We…

Scouting out a Bavarian Town

Not too long ago, my family and I went on a vacation. Luckily, our destination was in the warm sun:):):) On the way to/from, we stopped in a Bavarian town. This town cracks me up, because even the chain restaurants, such as Cold stone and Starbucks, are decorated as Bavarian! Here are a couple pictures I…

Nigella’s Grain Free cake

First of all, the reason I ate this cake was all because of a woman (and a great cook) named Meredith. Technically, this treat came from Nigella’s website, which Meredith read, and I devoured the cake left-overs from the party. I believe that Meredith added some cinnamon, so feel free to add extra spices! There…

Ballet Recital

All that hard work paid off! We had two performances last Sunday, and they went great! To start off the day, I had a big breakfast with berries, yogurt, and a nut/seed mix I put together. Look for a post on that easy, 5 minute granola/trail-mix soon! A couple hours later, I had a snack…

Rehearsal & Choreography for Ballet Recital

I’m super excited!!!! You know why? Tomorrow is our end-of-year ballet performance:) At my studio, every level performances a piece that our teachers choreograph. This year, we began practicing in March. There are 3 sections, which total up to about 10 minutes. Each piece is so different! The first one starts out really pleasant. In…

Spicy Beef stuffed avocado and chips

Have you seen all the stuffed avocado dishes on the Internet? Well, I made my own! Plus, I used up the left-over meat from the fridge! My first attempt at the stuffed avocado was ground beef. I was thinking Mexican seasonings would go great inside an avocado, because people make guacamole with cumin and chili…

Grilled Chicken, Polenta, Colorful Veggie Mix

  My gluten-free cousin and I got together over Memorial day weekend. Guess what kind of festive meal we had? GRAIN FREE!!! From moist chicken to yummy polenta, it was a great meal! That was just yesterday, and we were having a splendid time , creating this blog post together😃 Let’s start off with the…
