These past two days have been awesome. Tuesdays are usually my long days with work all day and school all night, but we got a snow day! There was some ice, an inch (if that) of snow, but we Texans can not handle driving on any sort of snow, slush, ice, etc. So we freak out and close up shop. Fine with me ! Work was closed and school was cancelled, and last night was the coldest night DFW has seen in 15 years. So guess what? Everything is closed today too!

I told you a few weeks ago you would probably start to see some portraits on here, and here is the first set (of many to come!) My first assignment in my portrait photography class was Gap Ads, but more specifically, black and white gap ads. Black and White Gap ads have a specific look to them, and you can see some examples here. I took pictures of my friend Mia, and I am happy with how they came out. Read More

I love burritos. My friends and coworkers love burritos. I live in Texas so everyone around me loves burritos. And since I live in Texas, you can practically buy a burrito on every corner.
But here’s the problem. Those burritos are full of unnecessary calories, fat, sodium and cellulite. So I decided to make my own, and fill them with grilled vegetables and beans. I individually wrapped a few, so the past few days when I have been hungry for a light lunch or snack I can unwrap one, warm it up, and have myself a healthy burrito! Read More

Dinner tonight was awesome. Dinner the past five nights has been awesome. Dinner the past five nights has basically been the same, and I can’t get enough! While trying to eat a bit better, I have made sure to keep a rainbow of vegetables in my fridge at all times, which is why this one simple meal contains garlic, red onions, sweet potatoes, broccoli, zucchini, spinach, mushrooms and green bell peppers. If this doesn’t meet your daily vegetable requirement, I don’t know what will!

School starts again tomorrow, and I am having mixed feelings about going back. Of course I am excited about going back, and I am looking forward to learning more. I am taking an advanced lighting class as well as a portrait photography class (so you may see some head shots on here soon). On the other hand, I have a great routine going right now of walking the dog a few miles, working out, and cooking all of our meals from scratch. My waistline is benefiting from this new routine!

Yep, I am starting the new year off with a vegan recipe. It’s a new year, new you, and new me! (No I am not going vegan, but I am trying to be healthier, and healthy habits start with healthy snacking. No more vending machine!) You may recognize this recipe, as I have made vegan energy bars before. The last batch I made contained raisins and carob chips, but I decided to make this batch a bit nutty, kind of like myself.

I’m a few days late. If you follow me on twitter then you know my internet is down. Our modem died on me around 10pm on New Years Eve, right when I was about to publish this post. As much as I would like to blame the cable company, it’s so my fault, I’ve knocked the damn thing over like a thousand times in the past three years. Anywho, I’ve enjoyed other activities, such as interacting with people face to face! But grab a glass of champage and pretend it’s New Years Eve again, and check out my top ten recipes of 2010.

One final down, three more to go. Not that I have to take any actual tests, but I sure do have a lot of pictures to print and present. After that, three weeks off! I am going to cook up a storm.
Here are some pictures from my Abandoned project, taken for a Contemporary Issues in Photography class. Read More

Two more weeks! This school quarter has kicked my butt, but I say that in both a positive and negative way.
The negative way meaning I have had no free time, no life, no friends. The positive being I am more inspired than I have ever been, and think I am starting to find my style. Read More

If you are like me, then you are tired of thinking about and seeing Thanksgiving recipes. I love the holidays but being a food blog and culinary magazine reader, I tend to get burned out on the sweet potatoes, the casseroles, the green beans, the turkeys, and the pumpkin pies. And then after Thanksgiving comes the leftovers recipes… but I like my leftovers plain and simple, heated up in the microwave (I say that with some shame). What I do love so much about the holidays though, is the specialty flavored baking items. Read More
