spinach pesto and ricotta sandwich.

The world (especially Kate) knows that I adore cheese. Especially ricotta. And guess what else I love? Pesto. Especially when B’s roommate brings fresh pesto from his house. So, two favorite things in one sandwich?

Life is good, kids.

Top 6 Things I Want to Stop, Like Right Now, Please

by
  1. Tumblr messages with someone claiming an obsession with me and offering body pics.
  2. My feet being cold. Even though I’m wearing socks. Socks allegedly equal warmth. Not truth.
  3. The clothes on my floor. Stop them. Now.
  4. The cold weather. 
  5. Homework.
  6. B leaving ever at all for any length of time because I just end up watching shows about cats eating things.

Wonderful, bold colors. And they look yummy.

You think you know, but you have no idea How to Carve A Turkey

(OK… Yes, as I am typing this I am asking myself, ‘did I really just say that?’)

Carving a turkey is not a daunting task, but after taking the pains to properly prepare the fleshy fowl, one wants to present one’s guests with the most meat possible. Follow along with this classic photo essay, which begins at the legs and drumsticks…

Cookie cups are my specialty. Never have I accidentally ruined a cookie cup.

animal shaped dinner rolls (by ldh.)

Question for the ages: does it creep you out when your food looks like a living thing? Once a steak is carefully detached from the cow, do you relate it to that cute mooing milk machine anymore? Or is it just a piece of meat with no real origin.

We’re gettin’ deep today at Cuppycakes.

4 Weeks…

my-life-and-more:

I will be graduating as a Sooner and could not be more proud.  Everything I have done here has helped me become the person I am today and helped me determine how I want to be in the future.  Joining a sorority, founding an organization, planning a community service road trip for spring break, participating in an educational program that allowed us to raise over $17K for Make-A-Wish Foundation—every experience is one I will cherish forever, along with the people I met along the way. 

As this chapter of my life comes to an end, I will look back knowing that I have no regrets.  I will not regret my decision to go to UCI or Moorpark College before coming to OU.  I will not regret the many major changes I had.  Every single thing I did allowed me to experience something that led to something else. 

Everything happens for a reason. I am a strong believer of that. 

My great-grand-big is so wise!

Winter Weather Staples (not the metal kind)

by

For the past week or so, I’ve been stocking up on my winter fashion basics. In between buying belts at Target and boots at Steve Madden, I thought I’d share them with all of you!

1. Steve Madden “Lindley” boots

boots


I’m currently wearing a Lindley lookalike, the Roady boots from last season, but the Lindley’s are close enough to recommend to all of you! They’re great for tucking jeans or wearing with a pencil skirt and pattern tights for a day on the job (or a night on the town).

2. Infinity scarves

I didn’t actually buy my infinity scarf; it was given to me by the church that I work at. Mine is grey with thick stripes and I love love love it! It’s perfect for keeping my neck warm in that fierce Oklahoma wind. I’d pick a substantially thick one over a long one, but both are warm and stylish. Go with earth tones so that you compliment the leaves on the ground.

3. North Face “Denali” jacket

I know, I know. You’re going to blend in with nearly everyone when you wear this jacket, but that’s just because everyone is smart. North Faces are warm, cozy, and great for throwing over any outfit while you trudge to class in the cold. They aren’t the cutest thing in the world, but you will be relatively warm and waterproof. And black goes with everything, right?!

4. Skinny belts, pencil skirts, patterned tights

I actually wore this combo out to dinner at Victoria’s on Campus Corner Friday night. Skirt from Gap + blue button down from Forever 21 + patterned tights from Target + skinny belt from Target + grey sweater from J. Crew = winter cuteness. Feel free to mix it up at your discretion.

What do you like to wear when (baby) it’s cold outside?
