I Love Desserts that don’t involve baking because I suck at baking 

This is soooo gorgeous! How fun are the sprinkles. No bake? Seriously?! I definitely could lighten up this treat by using non or low-fat dairy ingredients. I think I’m going to stage a birthday celebration for someone and make this just for fun.

I Love Reuben Sandwiches in all shapes and forms

Sweet Lord. I love reuben sandwiches more than most human beings. I got this trait from my momma. It’s my go to sammie of choice, hands down. However, I’m always up for new takes on old favorites. Enter: Grilled Reuben Pizza. I just need it now.

I Love Chalkboard Paint

Okay well I can’t really say I love it. I’ve never actually used it. But THIS inspires me. How fun. I’m sure these are approximately a million dollars at Williams Sonoma. Imma make my own!

I Love This Secret Starbucks Menu

So you’re telling me… that if I go to my local Starbucks and ask for a CAKE BATTER FRAPPUCINO they will not only know what the heck I’m talking about, but also they will whip one up like it ain’t no thang? I am so amused by this.

My friends Chelsea and Anna may be the only to laugh at this but it reminds me of a Dane Cook skit when he goes into a McDonalds, points to the menu board, and asks for the “Spaghetti Basket” just to see the utter confusion on the employees face. I’m laughing out loud just thinking about giving the barista a little yes-i-know-about-the-secret-menu wink and asking for one of these specialty drinks.

I Love Kitchen Utensils 

This is so much fun! My new apartment is lacking decoration. This would be so cute for my kitchen!

I Love Bikram Yoga

Who doesn’t love  practicing  26 repetitive and uncomfortable poses in what feels like a brick pizza oven? In all seriousness, if you have not tried it- I recommend.  It’s easy to adjust the moves to your preference and you leave feeling positively cleansed and euphoric.  You sweat out buckets..literally.

I Love Facials 

All of these are ingredients that I have at home in my pantry and fridge right now! Probably a bad thing that most of them could double as a dip of some sort.

I Love Homemade Infused Anything, Especially GinSo my friend / coworker/ neighbor, Angela, has been really into gin lately. I’m more of a vodka drinker, but there is something so refreshing about gin in the summer, and I can’t wait to make these!  May our hardest Saturday decision be “Pineapple or Cucumber?”

I Love Great Reviews + This Meal Looks Awesome

I’m a review reader. Always. Anything I buy or cook or want- I read the reviews on it. Mind you, I understand its normally the weird extremists who actually take the time to write the reviews- not the every day people who are simply satisfied. But- it’s something that I like to do. And this recipe, although showing only 4/5 stars had readers commenting “I Love this!” and “So simple” etc. Right up my alley.

I Love Pickles

Ummm did you know how easy it is to make pickles? Read this recipe! Totally trying this out this weekend.

If you read my last blog post you know that I am currently challenging myself to 100 days of healthy living including 30 minutes minimum of activity each day as well as healthy food choices throughout the week. [Allowing a few cheat meals each week, OF COURSE!] I’ve received so much positive feedback and I Love that many of you are joining me on the challenge.  There is still plenty of time to join in on the challenge! Read the details and feel free to email me with questions! eggs.flour.oil@gmail.com

ALSO- I’ve focused the first week of the challenge on examining and making changes to my breakfast routine. Send in your photos of your favorite quick breakfast [to Facebook, on Instagram [#efo100] or to my email] – Next week, I’ll send my favorite a gift card for your favorite coffee chain to help fuel your morning!

Mangia and happy weekend!
