it's been consistenly nice weather for the past couple of days. therefore i am sunburned, and attempting to drink all the coconut water ( my favorite beverage) on the planet in an attempt to hydrate and heal my skin. but i think it's all worth it :



i'm sure everyone can relate to the fact that being outside in the sunshine is the best feeling ever. even if it means overdosing on vitamin D. i mean.. our milk is fortified now so i need to be careful.

also, i keep making yummy food. but i have nobody to share it with because i'm usually at home alone. mabye that's why i resort to posting it on the internet.



i've eaten this too many times to count this past month. that is how stellar the flavors are. yes i'm going to brag, but only because the ingredients are so solid in this. buckwheat soba noodles ( cold), cinnamon roasted carrots? you really can't go wrong. make a little sesame soy dressing and you are good to go. i add greens because i think it looks prettier, and tastes pretty yummy too.




unfortunately i had already eaten half of this before i remembered to take a picture to send to a friend. another easy, not super exciting dish, but SO YUMMY. flat bread in olive oil and chunks of garlic and balsamic and basil ( really, can't go wrong with those), and spinach and tomatoes cooked down.. and of course fage on the side. this lunch gave me so much food energy from all those nutrients too. AWESOME. make it.



i made these the other night with ariana. we also made chocolate strawberries and bananas, but those aren't very interesting. they are really yummy though. these are a variation of macaroon sandwiches. raspberry chocolate filling is the most important thing you need to know about this sugar bomb. it really is sugary. i could only eat one. which is unusual for me.

also. i finally tried the famous cake from extraordinary desserts. it has rave reviews from food network. and guess what folks? it sucks! i only had one bite. i ate alot of their tzatziki. then i had a horrible stomach ache. i want to blame it on the cake but i'm pretty sure it was the tzatziki.





i went to disneyland this past easter weekend. it remains just as fun and nostalgic as ever, and still has that wet subway smell on every ride. mabye not a subway. there's no urine smell. but i think you all know what i'm talking about anyway.



oh and more importantly... i've been searching for the perfect granola ( or a cheap dehydrator to make my own). i think i've found it. thank you laura bradford.




keep hydrated, healthy, and smiling!

love loveessss
