My last go-around

The only picture I took of my busy but wonderful first week of my last semester at Truett. Weird. A year ago I couldn't wait to graduate, and now I find myself hanging on to every moment. Every professor's words, every sentence in my books, every moment shared with wonderful friends. Here's to a great send-off!

The Perfect Pita

My go-to-lunch as of late. Half a whole wheat pita filled with chickpeas/garbanzo beans, green bell pepper slices, cucumber, spinach, and Tzatziki sauce (if you haven't tried this sauce yet you MUST! made with Greek yogurt and delicious!). Of course my favorite sides are included, organic blue corn chips from "Garden of Eatin'" (gosh I love a good pun) and organic grapes (I emphasize organic here only because organic grapes are WAY more expensive but so delicious that I feel they need this qualifier). Sorry for the B- on plate presentation but I was too hungry to try to make it look appealing, you will just have to trust me.

Off to a good start...

It's 2:30 and I just realized my cardigan is inside out. Now I'm starting to wonder if the people at work have yet to notice or just didn't want to tell me...

Vegan Sweet-Potato and Black Bean Enchiladas with Cilantro Avocado Cream Sauce

Another great recipe from my stalking of Aurelia on Pinterest.  And since Steven now claims this is one of his favorite meals EV-ER I should probably figure out how to return the favor...So go visit her amazing blog (link on her name) and make comments about how awesome FRILLING she is! :)

Chef Murray

Steven (please note the apron...) making our Sunday night grilled cheese sandwiches. Our newest "grown-up" version consists of fresh mozzarella cheese, deep red tomato and basil pesto. (shout out to Aurelia and her amazing ability to pin great recipes on Pinterest)

Japan is so lucky

The highlight of yesterday was definitely seeing this sweet one and her parents before they leave for Japan for 2 years at the end of the month. This girl is going to be stopped everywhere she goes with those blonde locks and blue eyes. I HAVE to see it. Starting my "Tokyo or Bust" savings account now...donations welcome.

Ridiculous

It's official, I'm moving up north.

Pops on Route 66

We ended our OK adventure with a trip to Pops outside of Oklahoma City. Imagine a gas station filled with different kinds of Coke (sorry, I'm from Texas and can only say pop so many times before I go crazy) from all over the country. I treated myself to a Cream Soda that was first made during Prohibition, while Steven enjoyed a Pumpkin soda that was organic and fair-trade (Whole Foods is definitely wearing off on him)

Of course we had to end the trip with an picture by the giant coke bottle and straw.

Hudson Burrito

I wrapped this one up yesterday hoping he would let me pack him I'm my suitcase back to Texas...he failed to cooperate but let me take this adorable picture as a compromise.

National Cheesecake Day

A holiday that MUST be observed with half-priced cheesecake at the appropriately named Cheesecake Factory.

Oklahoma

Sorry for the lack of posts this past weekend. Steven and I were in toddler-induced-bliss with this little one and his parents. So grateful for weekends that revive my soul :)
