red velvet cake pops.

good thing this isn't a beauty contest.

on change.

here we go again.
forced to reevaluate priorities.
and be true to myself in a new environment.
i got this.

here's to new roommates.
to a shorter commute.
to being a landlord.
to new adventures.
and to soul searching.

breakfast.

i usually prefer my eggs with cheese. a lot of cheese. but i was inspired by this post on the mossy cottage to add a little fresh spinach to my eggs instead. honestly, i wasn't much of a fan, but good thing i had enough mushrooms and avocado in this scramble to make up for it. i'm really just looking for any excuse to consume this costco sized bag of spinach in my fridge before it spoils. spinach party, anyone?

be curious.

i'm hoping santa will prefer these over cookies.
and hopefully he won't mind almond milk, either.

the best part about being sick is that i've acquired a taste for hot tea.
the worst part is that i feel like i'm sleeping the summer away.

watermelon.

a pain in the ass to cut. but a delight to consume.

i've highly limited my carb consumption recently.
and i've found it's quite effective for weight loss.
i just don't think our bodies are meant to process so much refined sugar, you know?

ok. ok. so what if a couple pieces of halloween candy snuck into my diet? ;)
