It's been a while, eh? I hope that you have all been doing well and that you enjoyed your Thanksgiving. A lot has been happening over here and I guess now is the time to fill you in a little bit.<br />
<br />
I have always tried to be open about my struggle with anxiety and depression and in the past I tried really hard to find balance and to use blogging as a way to combat those feelings. Unfortunately it just became too much for me and the balancing act became part of the struggle. It was at that point that I decided to take a break from blogging and just take care of myself. And I did that by starting therapy.<br />
<br />
I am not really ready to talk about specifics just yet but I assure you that I will definitely be posting about it at some point in the future. And that post won't be me "seeking attention" as many people like to think that is the main goal of someone dealing with mental health issues. My only goal and purpose for that post is the opportunity to help even one person by sharing my story. I am hoping that I will feel strong and confident enough to do that soon.<br />
<br />
Now where does all of this leave me in this moment? In this moment I'm continuing my journey in therapy and I'm going to continue my journey in the blogosphere. However, that journey will not continue here. I've decided that I am a different person than I was even two months ago and that I need to push forward with a clean slate. My new space will still be dedicated to posting about my life as a vegan on Long Island. It will not be a mental health blog, however, there will be some discussion if things come up that I think are important to share. I know that I have moved several times already and I'm so grateful to those of you that have followed me. I would love for you to join me in this next phase. I do understand if you do not wish to.<br />
<br />
That's all I have for now. I do have a post up on my new blog and would love for you to check it out. As I've done in the past, I'm going to go ahead and bribe you with cute pictures of Delilah and TJ for you to check out and let you know that I am hoping to have a food post up as my next post.<br />
<br />
Thanks again for all of your kind words and support over the past few weeks. I really appreciate it more than I can ever express <3 You guys are all amazing and I feel incredibly lucky to have become a part of this community.<br />
<br />
I hope to see you over at <a href="http://longislandvegan.blogspot.com/">longislandvegan.blogspot.com</a>!<br />

I know it has been a while. I don't think I realized how long but time seems to have gotten away with me. Truth be told I don't have much to say. I'm not going to offer excuses or apologize for not being around here or anything like that. I'm just going to say that things have been a bit rough for the past few weeks and I just didn't feel like blogging. I've been trying really hard to keep up with all of your blogs and I do apologize for not being as diligent with that as I like to be. You have all been amazing to me over the past few years and I really do appreciate it. I try to show you my support as best as I can as well.<br />
<br />
I am not going to tell you I'll be back blogging in any specific time frame because I don't know how long it'll be before I feel like doing this again. It could be days, weeks or months… I just kind of need to get myself together before I can commit to anything. I will still continue to check in on your blogs as often as I can though.<br />
<br />
Most of you know how to get in touch with me by e-mail so definitely feel free to get in touch with me that way if you need to! If you don't have my e-mail address I'll figure out a way to get it to you in a not so public way.<br />
<br />
That's all for now. I'm sorry if this is a downer. It just is what it is. I'll be fine I just need some time. I really appreciate your kindness and support as always <3Sarah http://www.blogger.com/profile/11492583565520188461noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167451361023880910.post-74478785450117651342016-08-29T15:31:00.003-04:002016-08-29T15:31:43.510-04:00Back to NormalHey everyone! I hope you are all doing well and enjoying the end of your summer. I'm not going to lie, I'm really excited about fall weather. I am not a fan of extreme heat or humidity so I'm kind of over the summer.<br />
<br />
As you can tell by the title, I'm back home and starting to get back to normal. Today is Monday and I just came home today after about 10-11 days of house and pet sitting and I'm kind of exhausted! They seem all sweet and cuddly (which they are of course) but they are also all incredibly high maintenance. I'm now on vacation from my staycation, ha!<br />
<br />
I mentioned in my last post that I would try to get to the Farmers Market on Saturday and I did end up going! I got a few things which I photographed for you and I also have a few odds and ends to share as well.<br />
<br />

This is my Farmers Market haul! I got a loaf of fresh sourdough bread, a head of lettuce, some peaches, some beautiful tomatoes and some vegan cheese, crackers and a raw cookie from a vegan vendor that was there. When I see vegan vendors at a farmers market I like to support them and the rosemary crackers are really yummy. I haven't tried the raw oatmeal raisin cookie yet but I think it would be so good in banana nice cream!</div>

Look what I got!! This was the flavor I was most interested in trying and oh man you guys, it's so good. Coffee chocolate chip ice cream is my favorite ever and adding in caramel is an added bonus. It's a bit sweet but the texture is pretty nice! Overall I would definitely recommend this!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just want to make a little side note here that I wish the Chunky Monkey was not one of the 4 flavors that they made... banana ice cream is a vegan staple and we can all make our own Chunky Monkey (way healthier too)... I would have loved to see a different flavor instead! That's just me though :)</div>

This is my weekly spread for this week and I'm so excited about it. I'm obsessed with Ocean Life so I've been saving this kit for a while and I just love it so much. The watercolor with the ocean critters... it's so beautiful. I added in a little glitter tape because... well, it's glitter :D The kit is from one of my favorite shops: <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/creatingandco">Creating & Co</a>. Oh, the September monthly kit is Creating & Co. as well!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So there you have it! I hope you've all been well :) I'm trying to get back into my routine after feeling so out of the loop. Hopefully we get a little break from the heat too!</div>

It's been a while I know. I've been pretty busy lately so I haven't had a whole lot of time to photograph things but now I'm settled in at my brother's house (I've been there since Friday) and while things are very hectic and busy I have managed to get a few pictures for you. I always walk into this thinking it's going to be a nice relaxing staycation and I always realize pretty quickly that it's actually just a lot of work taking care of these adorable guys and the house. It's fine though, I still enjoy it and it's nice to have lots of cuddle time with them :)<br />

So this is just something that I found at Trader Joe's and I thought I would share! It is Kung Pao Tempura Cauliflower and it is delicious. The sauce is a little spicy and the cauliflower tastes really great and crisps up really nicely in the oven. I don't use all of the sauce because I think it's too much but I thought I'd share in case you guys have seen it and wanted an opinion on it :) I definitely recommend it!</div>

I am in love with this week's planner spread! I got this Brave Kit from a shop in Spain and I don't really do overseas sticker shopping much because the shipping can be crazy (this wasn't though!) but I really loved this kit and it looks perfect with the August colors in the Erin Condren. I also got a Little Mermaid kit from her which I'll probably be using next month :)</div>

I haven't gotten a picture of Eddie recently because it is hard for me to be near him. He is a long hair and is shedding like crazy and every time he moves his hair goes flying. My cat allergies have gotten worse and the last time I was house sitting my eye ended up swelling shut so I have to be really careful how close I get and he isn't allowed in the bedroom because his favorite thing to do is roll around in the pillows.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So there you have it! Just a few more work days until a three day weekend. I took off Saturday to take care of something in the afternoon so I'll be able to enjoy a mostly three day weekend. I'm hoping to get back to the Farmer's Market early Saturday morning so we'll see!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you have all been well! I'll try and update again at the end of the week (it would be Friday if I do!) and if I get to the Farmer's Market and get anything I'll have a haul for you next week.</div>

I have been in a black hole of Olympics coverage! I didn't think I'd get into it or watch it at all but I've been glued to the TV. I'm particularly into the Swimming and Gymnastics but caught some of that heartbreaking women's road race yesterday and some volleyball and diving as well. It's been so incredible to watch and it's only the third day!! What are you guys watching?!<br />
<br />
I don't have a grocery haul today because I didn't really do a whole lot of shopping but I do have a breakfast, lunch and dinner to show you... all eaten on different days. The breakfast is especially glorious so I'm looking forward to sharing that as well as this week's planner spread!<br />

You guys. This was GOOD. I woke up one day last week feeling overheated and in need of something delicious and refreshing so I made some chocolate banana nice cream and topped it with the yummy chocolate macaroon granola I got from Whole Foods last week! It was so amazing and this granola is GOOD.</div>

I'm back as I promised and today I'm showing you a full day of meals and snacks. I photographed everything I ate yesterday to show you today.

I ate half of this large container of buckwheat soba noodles that I got at Whole Foods on Monday. I ate the other half for lunch today. It's so good but can be a little oily and rich so half of what they have in there is perfect.</div>

For an afternoon snack I had one of my Coconut Cream Pie Larabars. These are so good. I couldn't find any of the Lemon ones though. Those are my absolute favorite. I've definitely been on a lemon kick lately.</div>

For dinner I had a boca burger topped with ketchup, pickles and lettuce with some of my Dill Pickle Chips on the side. You guys. I forgot how much I actually enjoy Boca burgers! This meal was so satisfying and summery and I definitely have to remember to enjoy it more often! Oh and yes there is a bun under all of that. The chips were kind of meh. I was expecting a lot of flavor because pickles are not lacking on flavor and these were so mild. There was barely any flavor in there… just a hint at the beginning. They are good and I'll eat them but I just wish they had a stronger flavor.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So there you have it, a full day of eats! This day was a bit more processed than usual but that just goes to show I don't make specific choices just to show off how healthy I am. Do you guys ever get that feeling when watching What I Eat In A Day Youtube videos that all of the meals were carefully chosen so they look extra virtuous in their choices? That's why I love watching<a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/toyotalauren"> Lauren Toyota's</a> What I Eat In A Day videos. Very realistic and relatable and balanced!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm going to try and get another one of these up this week! If I don't get a full day of meals I'll at least post a roundup of meals that I've had throughout the week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you all enjoy the end of your week and I'll see you this weekend!</div>

I hope you all had a nice weekend. Today is my Sunday which is my favorite and while I got a later start than I wanted to (meaning I left the house at 8am) I was able to get to Whole Foods before it became a zoo. I love going early because it gives me time to look at everything and to not feel rushed or annoyed at everyone. I think I grabbed a pretty good haul and it was actually really affordable! I was actually kind of surprised by the final cost because it was 2/3 of what I was expecting it to be so that is always nice.<br />
<br />
So without further ado, here is the haul!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYTfhF6LtJ3iPLVTg5zRcMlpG0f-SodVCvJ-0S5BupsKAbkxWqZh8-5_BmJ2qQCFcYOdSsNYQvMkfBO9fcYU8QntIuWjOlLK8aoDi-4wa6YSoxQSjNq7JzVoIhLyjn6JpZn35L8DeDWTI/s1600/photo+1.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYTfhF6LtJ3iPLVTg5zRcMlpG0f-SodVCvJ-0S5BupsKAbkxWqZh8-5_BmJ2qQCFcYOdSsNYQvMkfBO9fcYU8QntIuWjOlLK8aoDi-4wa6YSoxQSjNq7JzVoIhLyjn6JpZn35L8DeDWTI/s400/photo+1.PNG" width="312" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First up is the produce! There are peaches, plums and tomatoes in the bags at the bottom of the picture, a cucumber, some carrots, strawberries and 2 heads of romaine (2/$3!!).</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also grabbed some fun grocery items. I decided to try the Love Crunch Dark Chocolate Macaroon granola, Whole Foods brand Dill Pickle Chips (vegan!!!), unsweetened almond milk, coconut cream pie Larabars, Tofutti Cream Cheese, Hummus, Stuffed Grape Leaves and Buckwheat Soba Noodles.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally, as the title suggests I decided to do a Pink Lemonade theme for my planner this week and I'm obsessed with it. It is so beautiful and I've been loving the way my weekly spreads have been looking lately. I will be switching to a smaller, personal planner next year though. The Erin Condren planner is really pricey and from what I understand the quality has suffered quite a bit this year. I also just don't have much going on in my life so I don't need this much space. Finally, I will save so much money on stickers since I'll only need to buy mini kits and hopefully if I take good care of my actual planner it can last more than one year and I can just replace the inserts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So there you have it for today! I'm hoping to be back on Wednesday with a What I Eat In a Day post! Hopefully I will remember to take pictures of what I eat tomorrow and if so I will get that up on Wednesday!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I hope that all is well with you and that you've had a great week. I know I disappeared for a bit again but the week just got away from me between a broken air conditioner, migraines and just general apathy and blah. I'm going to post a short wrap up for you with a few pictures that I have from the week and then I'll be back with a grocery haul on Monday when I go to Whole Foods! I decided to splurge on some fun things this week so I should have a good haul and some good meal pics next week.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here are a few pics from the week:<br />

As I mentioned, I came home from work last Saturday and my air conditioner in my room would not turn on as it had finally died. This was the temperature outside and being on the top floor my room was about 91 degrees. I couldn't stay up there for more than a few minutes at a time and ended up sleeping on the couch because there was just no way. Luckily we were able to replace it quickly and I was back in my bed the next night.</div>

I also had this for lunch one day this week: rice with green beans cooked with tomato. Very tasty but also quite heavy for the heat.</div>

I decorated my August monthly spread for my planner last night and I love it :) It's so bright a cheery! You can see a big block of time blocked out toward the end of the month and I'm very excited because that means cuddle time with the babies!!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know this is a short one but like I said, not much happened this week. Hopefully I'll be able to get lots of pics of yummy meals next week :) I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend and that you are staying cool!</div>

Can you tell I can't think of post titles at all nowadays? Totally running on empty in that department :) I am here today with a quick post to start off the week. Not a whole lot going on, just business as usual, trying to stay cool. Let's just get into the pictures!<br />
<br />

First up is a very small grocery haul for this week. Cucumbers, tomatoes. romaine lettuce, shredded and baby carrots, one potato and some cauliflower florets.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikNUnUd6pxM-7gUWiDj3lH6e0nA_V8u8hBxuqwxqYUk7NbmIX7mCkl0v0rfe4zRlPszapSWRXEKGSDm0A3D16QPF0jZRnB3Ch3L-zKJjIOHTCDbR5fMepUN4UO5IgltWKSVM3gDdF1u28/s1600/photo+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikNUnUd6pxM-7gUWiDj3lH6e0nA_V8u8hBxuqwxqYUk7NbmIX7mCkl0v0rfe4zRlPszapSWRXEKGSDm0A3D16QPF0jZRnB3Ch3L-zKJjIOHTCDbR5fMepUN4UO5IgltWKSVM3gDdF1u28/s400/photo+2.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yup, I used the cauliflower to make the <a href="http://www.connoisseurusveg.com/sticky-sesame-cauliflower/">Sticky Sesame Cauliflower</a> I posted in my last post! Oh man you guys, this stuff is good! I'm so glad I dealt with the oven yesterday because I'm really loving this recipe. I'm just not turning on the oven again in a long time ;)</div>

Finally, I teased in my last post that I had an extra special sticker kit to use in my planner this week! I had set a major limit on myself to make only one sticker purchase during the 4th of July sales but I had to break it slightly for this. I justify it because this is the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/PrettyonPaperCo">Pretty On Paper Co</a>. Orca Charity Kit. Not only do I get these gorgeous stickers themed around the beautiful orca, $10 from each purchase is donated to <a href="http://us.whales.org/">Whales and Dolphins Conservation</a>. You know how I feel about this as I discussed when I saw Blackfish and I didn't mind breaking my rule for this Charity kit. It was definitely going to a good cause and I got these beautiful stickers as a bonus.</div>

Happy weekend! I hope you all had a great week. I'm ready for my weekend to start after today's day at work. I really have plans as of right now except to clean and whatnot. Hopefully you guys have more exciting plans than I do!<br />
<br />
I really don't have a ton of pictures of my food because I eat the same things all the time. More sushi, lots of mediterranean plates and salads, etc. I have a few pics but then I thought it would be fun to show some recipes I found on Pinterest that I plan on making in the near future!<br />
<br />
First up, what I've actually eaten:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't know why my cantaloupe looks so weird in the photo but it was super sweet and juicy and delicious. This was a typical breakfast during the week. Really hydrating and refreshing.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As I mentioned I had lots of Mediterranean plates. This is the only one I bothered taking a picture of.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had my waffles from Trader Joe's once! One with just syrup and one with a little peanut butter and syrup. That syrup poured out really fast but it was still super delicious!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also just wanted to include a picture of this gorgeous hibiscus flower in my front yard. We have TONS of them and they are so beautiful. They are my favorite flower and it makes me happy to see them every day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
OK so now I'll show you a couple of recipes that I plan on making soon!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First is the <a href="http://pinchofyum.com/burst-tomato-zucchini-spaghetti-with-avocado-sauce">Burst Tomato and Zucchini Spaghetti with Avocado Sauce</a> from <b>Pinch of Yum</b>! How beautiful is that dish?! Minus the parmesan sprinkled on top this dish is vegan and I can't wait to try it. She mixes regular spaghetti with spiralized zucchini and it sounds amazing. Definitely a really great summer dish!</div>

I'm back with my weekly Monday post. I think I've settled into a good groove with two posts a week so I'm going to stick with that with some possible bonus posts thrown in. Today I figured I would do a fun post of a few things that I've purchased over the past couple of weeks and also my grocery haul for this week and my planner spread for this week as well. I've been budgeting myself quite a bit and I've been doing really well about not spending so these were a few treats I've gotten myself. It's the little things, right? Besides, since I've simplified my eating I've cut my grocery bill down to about $35-$40/week which is really good. Anyway, check out all the stuff!<br />

I'm so sorry for this awful picture on this busy ass tablecloth. I hate it and normally I get rid of it but there were people around and I just had to take this picture really quickly. Anyway, I have a small Trader Joe's haul to share and I got some kale (for juice), romaine hearts, chickenless tenders, grape tomatoes, avocado, frozen corn, a buried cucumber and some gluten free waffles.</div>

I've also had some serious chocolate cravings lately (yeah... you know what I'm saying) so I popped into <a href="http://www.sweettolick.com/">Sweet To Lick</a> and I grabbed this Double Chocolate Whoopie cookie on Saturday after work. I had half on Saturday and will probably have the other half tonight. It is soooooo good you guys. One Monday I'm going to have to head in and check out their lunch that they are now offering.</div>

So I have been trying to find Scotch brand glitter washi FOREVER because you know I love my glitter. I have black and red and I love this brand because it doesn't shed but I really wanted some more colors. Well my Target must have re-stocked because I found all of these beautiful colors and let me tell you... when Target has all of the glitter washi you buy all of the glitter washi. My Target especially because they don't really re-stock it often. I'm so excited about these and that turquoise is giving me life right now.</div>

Finally, here is my planner spread for this week. This is 100% my favorite spread so far. The kit is beautiful and from my favorite shop, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/creatingandco">Creating & Co.</a>, and the style of planning was inspired by her as well. I love how this came out so much I doubt I'll go back to my old style of planning! This is so clean and beautiful and it makes me happy to look at it :) I have another kit from her that I will be using in two weeks and I can not wait. It is my favorite kit of all time, it is gorgeous and I think you will all like it too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that's all I have for today. I hope you all had a great weekend and I'll check in later this week with some food! I did some meal planning today and I have some yummy stuff to come :)</div>

As I promised I'm back with a what I ate post. You'll notice that there is a lot of fruit and salad involved and not a whole lot of cooking. The temperatures finally rose this week and along with that the humidity so I've been trying to eat fresh and raw. I definitely can't bring myself to turn on the oven.<br />

I had my weekly sushi treat for lunch yesterday. I'm always surprised by how fresh and delicious it is from the grocery store! I think it helps that I get there as they are putting it out pretty much every time I get it.</div>

Happy 4th of July to all of my US readers :) If you are not in the US, then happy Monday to you! I hope you have all had a great weekend and that you are all having a fun and safe holiday. Today has been a quiet day but in a really great way. My mom and I spent some time together running some errands this morning and I've just been cleaning and relaxing this afternoon. I also enjoyed a delicious dinner which I'll be sharing with you in this post.<br />
<br />
First, I just wanted to show you a small Trader Joe's haul from yesterday. I'm trying really hard to save money where I can so I'm going to be using up what I have in the freezer and pantry as much as I can so I kept my grocery list short. Here's what I got:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbq0pI_iErxoaJtfYKc3XKbLKL-hdA2vIPS8OYHYmByA2OntOCOX2iQWHlPBIRH2s7Q4LxcPnujwJXHoB03h9nsoVGPwFx81kb39RmD2q9BuVOYs-MczWpIi1lUbz-3wM988dDyMdP6tA/s1600/photo+1.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbq0pI_iErxoaJtfYKc3XKbLKL-hdA2vIPS8OYHYmByA2OntOCOX2iQWHlPBIRH2s7Q4LxcPnujwJXHoB03h9nsoVGPwFx81kb39RmD2q9BuVOYs-MczWpIi1lUbz-3wM988dDyMdP6tA/s400/photo+1.PNG" width="318" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So for the haul I got some Strawberries, shredded hash browns, almond milk, my favorite raspberry, lemon and strawberry popsicles (I'm obsessed with popsicles right now!!), the Mango Coconut Pudding recommended by <a href="http://mycatlovesdaiya.blogspot.com/">Vegan Peace</a>, shredded carrots, a large cucumber, and a giant sweet potato.</div>
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the amazing dinner I had tonight!! I had some of the Trader Joe's chick'n tenders with some corn and a delicious salad with the Just Ranch dressing. You guys, this dressing is AMAZING!! I love it! I only ate about half of the corn, it was way too much and I don't know how I didn't realize it would be before I made it. If I were a little smarter I would have just thrown the corn and the tenders in the salad and eaten it like that but I guess that'll just have to wait for next time!</div>

Finally, this little guy is going to be spending the night with us tonight. He gets really freaked out by fireworks and my brother and the family will be out late tonight so he is staying here tonight. TJ is fine with fireworks so he is home but they didn't want Tyler to be home with no humans to comfort him so I get to hang out with this sweet boy tonight :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I hope that you have all been well! I'm still getting things back in order after spending a long weekend and my brother's house but the routine is finally getting back to normal. I work today and have a normal weekend for the 4th of July weekend. I still don't know what my plans are for Monday but honestly I'm hoping to just relax and have a craft day. I've been quite tired lately so I try to get some quality relaxation time when I can.<br />
<br />
Summer is finally officially here and I thought today would be a good day to share a little summer bucket list that I have for the year! It's just a few things but they are definitely things I would like to accomplish over the next few months :)<br />

I don't know why I chose this image to represent having craft days but it makes me laugh so hard. Mainly because I'm not even really a fan of his but the whole thing is just so silly. Anyway, I'm sure you can tell by my last post that I'm on a craft kick and I want to make sure that I have some craft days planned for the summer. It is a great way for me to relax and create and I'm really excited about it!</div>

The second thing I really want to do is hold a giveaway for you guys!! I really appreciate you for sticking with me during a time where I was feeling crappy and posting sporadically so I really wanted to do a fun giveaway. I will probably combine it with my crafting and I'm excited about it! I haven't decided when it will happen just yet but I will obviously keep you guys posted!</div>

Something I have really been missing from my life for a long time is a regular yoga practice. I've lost everything I gained from that practice in terms of flexibility, balance, etc. and I really want to regain it. I also miss the calm and peace I feel after a practice. I am really going to make it a goal to get back into the habit of practicing yoga at least 3 days a week for 30 minutes (at least).</div>

This is not a fun one but I am hoping to really iron out a strict budget to start saving a little more. It's really important, especially now that I had that issue with the craft fair and am out some of my investment. I've been working on it and I feel really good about it so I just need to be careful! Luckily since the weather is so nice I will be able to do things outside for free during the summer :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And finally… I don't have a picture for this but I do want to get back into the kitchen and start coming up with more recipes again! I really miss being creative in the kitchen so I think it would be fun to take advantage of all of the summer produce and make some fun new dishes. It would also be good to come up with some delicious dishes perfect for those on a strict budget. I can't wait to share them with you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that's all I have for today! What is on your summer bucket list?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have a great weekend and I'll see you on Monday with a grocery haul and some 4th of July eats!</div>

I know it has been a while but that was to be expected since I was on staycation at my brother's house since Thursday night with no computer. I took off Saturday for a three day weekend and it was really nice! I really needed a break and some time to recharge my batteries. I have a few pictures to share from the weekend and I will be back with some food photos later in the week. Today we have puppies and crafting stuff!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pups were not cooperative with taking pictures but I managed to get a few. Here is Tyler looking totally annoyed that I'm in his face.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And here is TJ with his sad little puppy face. He always looks sad but is actually the biggest goofball ever.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is basically the epitome of their personalities. Tyler gives zero F**cks about everything and TJ is just a total goof. This picture makes me laugh so hard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As I mentioned in my last post, I got together with my friend on Sunday and we did some shopping. We spent a long time in Michael's as I was looking to stock up on crafting supplies and pocket letter supplies and I got so much great stuff! Thanks to sales and the generous Michael's coupons I got everything at a great price as well. Check out what I got!</div>

All the way to the left I have little Floss Bobbins that I'm going to use to make Washi Tape samples. Next to it is the word washi I have been searching for! I've been looking for months and I finally got my hands on it. I thought the little tags were super cute and I'm going to make a thread bracelet with that gorgeous color combo. The cornflower to the far right is my power color I think ;)</div>

Here is my July monthly spread!! I really love this spread because it is the red, white and blue but it doesn't look like the 4th of July exploded on the page. I will do a weekly spread that is festive but this is so perfect for the monthly. I got this kit from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/creatingandco">Creating & Co.</a> which is one of my favorite shops as I've mentioned before.</div>

Here is this week's spread! I am OBSESSED. I am all about under the sea anything so this beautiful kit is just everything. I love it. Decorating really makes me use my planner more and I just love looking at it! This is the Summer Daze kit from a shop called <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/NicoleAlexiaDesigns?ref=shop_sugg">Nicole Alexia Designs</a>. I've decided to start linking to my favorite shops because I know a few of you expressed interest in decorative planning so I figured I'd let you know which shops I love!</div>

I hope that you all enjoyed your weekend. I'm not going to lie, I'm really glad that last week is over. It was a really tough week between the horrible events that occurred in Orlando (three majorly publicized events and who knows how many more), the disaster of a street fair experience and getting sick with a sinus infection. Luckily this week is shaping up to be a better week. I've finished my antibiotics and am feeling better, I am fur baby sitting for the weekend and I decided that I wanted to make it a three day weekend for myself so I took Saturday off because lets face it... I deserve it! The best part is that my friend will be in town and we will be spending some time together shopping and lunching on Sunday! I'm really looking forward to it.<br />
<br />
I did drag my butt out of bed early this morning to beat the rush at Trader Joe's and have a bit of a haul to show you. I am also going to share my planner layout for this week. I am in love with how it came out! Starting in July I'll have two layouts to show you! I got a planner in Michael's on deep discount (the total was between $10-$15) and it is an 18 month planner starting in July 2016. I'll be doing a different style of planning which is essentially a scrapbook style of planning since lets face it... there is typically a departure in what I planned in the beginning of the week to what I really do. Plus, I think it is just a great way to document memories and also to use up random stickers that I have left over from my weekly planning. I'm looking forward to sharing that with you as well!<br />
<br />
Anyway, enough of my yapping, here is the haul and the spread!<br />

Here is this week's spread! It is so beautiful, I am in love with it! The colors are gorgeous and just looking at it makes me happy! My favorite colors have drastically changed recently. I'm loving navy blue, copper, cornflower blue (this may be my new power color) and mint... I used to love more warm toned colors but these colors have been inspiring to me lately.</div>

I know, long time no post, I'm so sorry! This week has been crazy with all of the sadness in the beginning and then I came down with a sinus infection in the middle of the week. I am on antibiotics and between being sick and being on these meds my appetite has been wiped out so I haven't had much food to post. I did want to come in and do a post though so I decided to share my two summer craft projects that I'm looking to get into!<br />
<br />
Ever since I started planning and making my jewelry my desire to create and craft has been really intense. I've been looking for some fun projects to do that are within my capability and being sick I had some time to binge watch some YouTube videos and I'm so excited because I found some projects that I'm so excited about! The first one is something called a <a href="http://janettelane.blogspot.com/2015/02/what-are-pocket-letters.html">Pocket Letter</a> and the other is a Flipbook!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first project that I found and that I am SO EXCITED about is called a pocket letter. You can read more about it by clicking the link above (just click where it says Pocket Letter) but a quick explanation is that you take a baseball card sleeve that has nine pockets. You decorate nine cards and you slide one into each sleeve. Each of those decorative cards hides a small treat or gift that you slide in behind the card. I love this idea because you can be really creative in decorating the cards and you get to include little goodies for the recipient! You also include a letter in one of the pockets. It was created with the idea of pen pals in mind so you would swap pocket letters with a pen pal. I would love to do swaps down the road but I think this is the cutest way to give a gift or tell someone that you are thinking about them. The goodies are small tokens typically but I really love how thoughtful the whole thing is. You can exercise your creativity by using a color theme or some other theme for your pocket letter like the one above (by <a href="http://creawitch.blogspot.com/">Creawitch</a>). I'm so excited to try this and who knows, maybe one of you will win a pocket letter in an upcoming giveaway ;)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am having a hard time finding a good picture of a flip book but if you click <a href="http://www.creatingandco.com/2016/06/mothers-day-flipbook-flipthrough/">here</a> you can check out the video I watched that got me into the idea of making a flip book! A flip book is essentially a small DIY scrapbook that you can decorate for any occasion or to capture the memories of a specific event, holiday, vacation, etc. They also really allow you to explore your creativity and I think they are really wonderful gifts to make. It's hard for me to explain but check out Paige's video above. She is amazing and really talented, she owns one of my favorite sticker shops and as soon as I saw this video I knew I had to give it a try!</div>

Thank you so much for your kind words and your support. It always means so much to me to read your comments and I really appreciate it. I hope that all of you have been ok in this time and taking care of yourselves and everyone that you love. I've been supporting my friend as he is still understandably quite shaken. He has said it will take a long time to heal from this and it is still very raw and real. A good friend of his who has become a good friend of mine knows someone that passed in the hospital so it's all hitting close to home for them. I wish I could be there with them but unfortunately the best I can do is support them from here and send them as much love as possible.<br />
<br />
I've accepted the street fair debacle and I'll start to figure out a new game plan to get my jewelry out there. Whether it is a different fair (which I can't really imagine at the moment) or an Etsy shop I'll figure it out.<br />

I didn't really know what to do with myself today so I decided to get my butt in the kitchen and bake. I made another loaf of <a href="http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/10/10/fat-free-banana-bread/"><b>Chocolate Covered Katie's</b> Fat Free Banana Bread</a>. I used mini chocolate chips this time. It made my whole house smell amazing. I don't know what is more comforting... eating the comfort food or making the comfort food. I haven't eaten it yet but making it certainly was calming for me.<br />

I saw that <a href="http://vegancrunk.blogspot.com/">Bianca</a> had reviewed this book (<a href="http://vegancrunk.blogspot.com/2016/06/nice-cream-review.html">here</a>) and I immediately had to check it out. It is called <a href="http://nicecreambook.com/">N'Ice Cream</a> and as you can imagine, it contains all vegan ice cream recipes. I decided to treat myself and I ordered it and my copy came today! I haven't really had a chance to check it out yet but the thing that sold me was that there were so many different options and that they teach you how to make it without an ice cream maker. I also really love that they have ice cream cakes in there because what is more fun than an Ice Cream Cake? I'm really excited to try some recipes because I could use some healthy vegan ice cream in my life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that's all I have for today. Just laying low and trying to relax before another work week. I hope that you are all doing well <3</div>

I'm sure by now all of you know what is going on in Orlando. I don't normally do posts like this when a tragedy occurs because what can I possibly say. This time it is a little more personal. This happened in a city I love to a community that I love. As you all know, I go down to Orlando several times a year to visit my best friend. My gay best friend. Who has taken me to this club before. Who I had to frantically text this morning to make sure he was ok. And I am so incredibly lucky to say that everyone I know is ok. My heart breaks for everyone who was not that lucky.<br />
<br />
I don't understand how someone can have this much hate in their heart. It is crazy. All I know is that I will hold everyone a little tighter and let everyone know how much they mean to me. And I want you all to know that you mean a lot to me. All of the support and time you have given to me over the past few years have meant the world to me and I thank you all so much.<br />

A lot of tears were shed today for so many reasons (more below). I'm typically not one to pray but today I pray for those that lost their lives and those that lost someone they love due to a senseless act of violence. And I pray that we can all find a way to tap into the goodness of our hearts and treat each other with kindness and respect. We are all human and that should be all that matters. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On another note, for those of you who are curious to know about the street fair I was participating in today unfortunately it is more bad news. While it is clearly not a tragedy in any way it was a very disappointing morning... I had my display pretty much set up when the unweighted tent of the vendor next to me flew into my tent and display. The jewelry that I had spent so much time on went flying and my displays (which I also hand made) broke. Some of the jewelry was damaged, the necklaces were in large clumps and knots and there are still about 15 rings laying in the street somewhere. I was clearly really upset because there was no recovery from it since my displays were destroyed and my stock tangled and damaged so I had to pack it up as the fair was starting. It was really upsetting because of the time and money that I had put into it. And also because the vendor didn't even care to apologize for basically causing me to close up shop before it even opened. I know that it clearly is not a big deal in comparison to the other events of the day but it was still a really difficult situation for me. I struggle with my decision to pack it up but I got really overwhelmed looking at my hard work laying all over the street and I just couldn't see any way to recover it and get the usable stock out there in any sort of timely manner, especially since my displays were also destroyed. I feel stupid even complaining or being upset about this when there is so much else going on but I figured I'd give you the update on this as well... especially considering I should still be there right now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm sorry for such a sad post but I just felt like I had to say something because I just can't understand it. I hope that you are all doing ok and that all of your loved ones are safe. I am hoping to be back mid next week with a regular post. </div>

I hope you all had a great weekend! My weekend was different than I expected since the Street Fair was rained out and postponed until next weekend. I am disappointed but hopefully the weather will be nice next weekend and we will have a good turnout. Since I have another week with my stock I'll try and post a few more pictures of the pieces and maybe the display when I test it out.<br />
<br />
Since I had my Sunday clear up I treated myself to a pedicure since it had been months since my last one and flip flop season is upon us. I also ran to Trader Joe's to pick up a handful of things (big mistake to go in the middle of the day - the parking lot was a nightmare and people were just ridiculous in the store) and spent the rest of the day inside and out of the rain. I had also gone to the opening day of the Farmers Market near me on Saturday! I have one picture to share from that so you can see how dreadfully small it is. Seven vendors were not there so hopefully as the season goes on it will get bigger.<br />
<br />
Let's get into some pictures!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here is the terrible pic from the market. It was so freaking small. Only two produce vendors. I only picked up a head of lettuce, a few honeycrisp apples and some spicy black bean dip (so good and super limey!). I'm sure that there will be more to choose from as the season progresses and when I have a good haul I'll make sure to show you.</div>

Here is my mini haul from Trader Joe's. I've been into ice pops lately so I picked up the Raspberry, lemon and Strawberry pops, the vegan mango mochi that <a href="https://mycatlovesdaiya.blogspot.com/">Vegan Peace</a> shared, some chickenless tenders, shredded hash browns and bananas. I have a lot of produce at home already so I didn't want to grab a lot and just use up what I have.</div>

I shared this before pic on my planner Instagram account and I kind of love showing the sheets and then the finished spread and how I used these sheets. I think it's interesting for people to look at the sheets and think about how they would use them and then to see how someone else uses them. I watch a lot of Plan With Me Videos on Youtube (they are so relaxing you guys!) and I love watching other people plan, especially when their style is so different from mine.</div>

And this is the finished spread! I love colorblocking these monthly colors. I really like this spread because it is pretty but it is also really neat and organized. My inner Virgo has been out loud and proud lately.</div>

When you have an amazing vegan bakery in your area you should go buy stuff from them to support the business, right? That is what I'm telling myself after making another trip there and pickup up this ridiculously amazing looking Peanut Butter Pie! I saw their pic on Instagram and I was like ok fine you win, ha! I actually only ate half of this so far because it is super rich but wanted to take a pic before it got all mangled. I can't believe this bakery has been around for a few years and I had only been in a few times. I'm planning on special ordering some of their amazing vegan swiss rolls for my birthday in September :) They are so good (I had them for my birthday a few years ago when they first opened) but I have terrible timing and never get in when they have them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that's what I've got for you today! I'll be starting a major spring cleaning and de-clutter today and I'm looking forward to just doing a major purge of my stuff that I just have hanging around. I'll probably be purging some of my cookbooks so I'll make sure to let you guys know and I'll do some giveaways with them if you are interested!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll see you in a few days with a full day of eating! <3</div>

I hope you've all been having a great week! I can't believe it is Thursday already. For a little street fair update… it looks like it is supposed to rain on Sunday and if it does I believe the rain date is next Sunday. Hopefully the weather holds up for that!<br />
<br />
I have a few meals I've eaten this week to share today. I've been eating a lot of repeat meals but I figured I'd stop in and share since I don't know if I'll have a chance to post this weekend. I also wanted to share some things I've been searching for but haven't been able to get my hands on until now!<br />

I have been searching for these two products for a while now but I have just found them! I saw both on <a href="http://mycatlovesdaiya.blogspot.com/">Vegan Peace's</a> blog and really wanted to try them. The Caramel Almond Creamer looks amazing and will last me a while because I only drink coffee once or twice a week now… usually just once though on Sundays. I found the dressing in Target and I can't wait to try it!</div>

Obviously I have been eating lots of Mediterranean plates and this is a pretty typical one. I love these so much.</div>

I've been eating a lot of fruit for breakfast but I enjoyed this piece of banana bread and some peaches on morning. It's so good and perfect for a chocolate craving.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that's what I've been able to collect with you so far! We'll see what happens with the weather. I'm planning on making Monday a major spring/summer cleaning day and just going through everything and de-cluttering… if the fair is moved I'll probably just do that on Sunday as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope the rest of the week goes quickly for all of you! If I don't see you before Monday have a great weekend!</div>

I hope you've been having a nice weekend. I am exhausted, we had a very long brunch yesterday and Delilah slept over last night until just about an hour ago so it is my first chance to relax this week. I've been working really hard to prepare for the street fair but I definitely need a little time to just decompress for a bit. I'm getting a little stressed about the fair but hopefully things will all go smoothly.<br />
<br />
I do have a bunch of fun things to share with you today! I have my Trader Joe's grocery haul, this week's planner spread plus a fun planner bonus and some of my favorite pieces of jewelry to share! It's a lot of pictures so I'll just get into it now!<br />

First up is obviously the haul! I grabbed some cabbage, shredded and baby carrots, corn and a cucumber.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was inspired by <a href="http://ingridimproves.blogspot.com/">Ingrid</a> and grabbed some Lime Fruit Floes as well as some mango (the first time I've ever seen RIPE cut mango!, almond milk, tomatoes, avocado and four giant potatoes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Up next I have some of my favorite pieces of jewelry that I recently made! My stock is up to about 200 pieces so this is just a tiny fraction of it but I'm obsessed with these pieces.</div>
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First up is all of the Navy! I love navy blue as a neutral and used a few different accent colors. I really love it with the copper all the way to the left. Copper and blue are so beautiful together (that color wheel stuff actually works, right?!).</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am OBSESSED with these. I really love the teal all the way to the left and the periwinkle color of the two on the right. I love the one with the black setting and chain all the way to the right so much. If no one buys it at the fair I think I'm going to keep it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I finally remembered to take a picture of my monthly spread before I put any financial information in it! I am so in love with this kit from a shop called <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/PlanningRoses">Planning Roses</a>. It is gorgeous and this is my favorite monthly spread yet. I mostly use my monthly to keep track of my finances and some important things to remember like my friends coming into town and holidays.</div>

This is this week's spread in my planner. I tried something different this week and I really like how it came out. You'll notice the watermelon theme for this week and it sure won't be the last watermelon kit I use this summer ;)</div>

The new 2017 Erin Condren planners are coming out on June 1 and I'm debating if I should order mine now or wait a little bit. I don't need two planners (the new ones are 18 month planners so I'd have two until December) but I also think it would be cool to use one as a scrapbook and one as an actual planner. I think what I'll end up doing is seeing how things go at the fair and whether or not I want to treat myself now or wait a bit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's all for today! I'll get a food post up probably on Thursday and then I probably won't be back until next week because it'll be crunch time! I hope you are all having a great weekend and I will see you soon!</div>

I have to work today, boo. That is the only thing I hate about my schedule... I basically never get three day weekends. But I digress. I'm really proud of myself for posting regularly lately and this week was no exception. I managed three posts and I'm so happy about it! Thank you to all of you that have kept up with me when my posts were erratic and irregular... I really appreciate it! I may have something fun planned for you ;) I just have to wait until I get past the street fair to get it all ready. That said I think I'll only be able to swing 2 posts next week because I'll be really busy and I'm sure stressed out getting ready for the street fair but hopefully it all works out in my favor in the end.<br />
<br />
Enough of the rambling, here are some things I ate this week!<br />
<br />

My mom took Monday off and we had a girl's day and ended up having lunch at a Mediterranean restaurant (not the amazing Turkish one we have been going to) and I decided to have the cold appetizer platter where you can select four things from a list of options. Naturally I got the stuffed grape leaves, hummus, and a double of the shepherd's salad. It was ok but I think I've been spoiled by the other place. The dolmas and hummus were great but the salad was a bit off. I asked for two of the same salad and they looked different and it had peppers in it. My mom also got Shepherd's salad and hers looked normal. It was ok though, I just ate around the peppers.</div>

Follow Your Heart Vegan Egg test #2!! I wasn't a huge fan of it as just an egg but I wanted to try it out to see how it worked as a binder for zucchini fritters. Flax eggs are perfect for baking but they just don't work for me as a binder in fritters. The vegan egg worked REALLY well! I had a feeling this would be a good use for it and I'm really happy with how they came out. These are baked zucchini fritters with roasted cauliflower and carrots.</div>

I've been enjoying large fruit plates for breakfast and the fruits of choice this week have been strawberries, grapes and peaches. I still can't eat a large volume at once so I basically bring a lot to work and just snack on it over a day or two.</div>

I treated myself to more veggie sushi from the store and they were just as fresh and delicious! This was definitely a great find and I can definitely see myself getting this as a treat for lunch once a week.</div>

We finally had a vegan bakery open on Long Island a few years ago called <a href="http://www.sweettolick.com/">Sweet To Lick</a>. Although it is close to me (Long Island is larger than you think so I'm lucky that it is so close to me!) I have only been there three or four times in the past few years which just isn't enough. I decided to go there last night to get some treats because why not. I'm not participating in Memorial Day festivities on Monday because I have to finish my jewelry and my display so I figured I'd compensate with some treats! I got the gluten free mint chocolate chip blondie and the chocolate chip oreo whoopee cookie! OMG you guys I had half of the whoopie cookie last night and it was amazing. I'm glad I splurged on these treats to enjoy throughout the weekend. They started serving lunch too so I am going to have to go there on a Monday and try that out!</div>

So there you have it! This weekend is going to be quite busy with all of the work I have to do and we are having Delilah sleep over again Sunday night because my brother and sister in law have a birthday celebration to go to. Not the best timing but it'll be fine, I'll just work on my stuff after she goes to sleep. Sunday we have a birthday brunch for my great Aunt who is in her 80s and we don't get to see her often so that will be nice. I will be back with a post on Monday and I think it will be more planner heavy since I have photographed a few different things from it to show you. I'll also take some pictures of my favorite necklaces I've made so far to show you :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I hope you have a great weekend and I'll see you on Monday!</div>

I'm here today with a What I Ate Wednesday… on Thursday. The title technically applies because these are my meals from yesterday… I'm just posting them today! I at some fruit in between my meals but I didn't have a change to photograph it but I figured you know what grapes and peaches look like :) I won't bore you with any more chit chat, here are the meals!<br />

I was craving some avocado toast in the morning so I had it as my first breakfast ;) It was later followed with a peach and some grapes.</div>

Lunch was another Mediterannean-ish plate. It's really not a traditional Med plate but the dolma and hummus make it passable I guess. I just don't know what else to call it!</div>

For dinner I made this tasty giant quesadilla with Ezekiel Sprouted Grain Tortillas, TJ's fat free refried beans, lots of steamed spinach and some more avocado because I was apparently an avocado fiend yesterday.</div>

So there are my eats from yesterday! I have a few pictures of meals for the end of the week and hopefully I can get a few more! I am just getting a bit stressed about the fair next weekend so I guess we'll see how the next 10 days go!</div>

I'm here with my Monday grocery haul and my planner layout :) I feel like my layouts get prettier and prettier each week and I LOVE the way this one came out. I'll have to show you an end of the week spread so you can see what it looks like all filled out. It's just tough if I have personal stuff in there but one week I'll definitely make that happen.<br />
<br />
This week's grocery haul is from Whole Foods again. I stayed away from Whole Foods for a while but the selection and quality of organic produce is just far superior than any other store near me. It makes the price worth it to me. Hopefully I'll be able to supplement from the Farmers Market when it opens in a few weeks! Here is the haul from this week.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First up is the produce. It is all organic as well. Strawberries, baby spinach, cauliflower, peaches, carrots, zucchini, grapes, brussels sprouts and avocados.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For grocery items I have mushroom broth, Califia unsweetened creamer, multigrain tortilla chips, oat flour, mini chocolate chips, a few Clif bars in case I need a meal on the run and of course some stuffed grape leaves!</div>

This is a little bonus but I was craving banana bread like crazy so I decided to make a loaf. I used <b>Chocolate Covered Katie's</b><a href="http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/10/10/fat-free-banana-bread/"> Fat Free Banana Bread</a> recipe that I love and it is so amazing. I subbed out regular flour for oat flour and added the chocolate chips and it is incredible. This is gluten free, oil free vegan deliciousness. My mom tried some and she said it was incredible. I love cutting it up into thick slices and wrapping them individually and freezing them. This way I can take a piece out as I like and it won't get stale before I eat it all.</div>

Finally, here is this week's layout in my planner. I'm obsessed with it. I really enjoy the peace and calm of decorating my planner and being a Virgo I love the organization it provides for me ;)</div>
