Starting with the basics!

Since having moved off campus and into a place of my own I have been cooking, and baking a lot more! Nothing out of the norm, but you have to start somewhere right?!

Here are some pics...

Fruit Tray...Clearly not much was called for, but presentation is fun too! :)

Mixed Salad inspired from Plutos in Roseville, CA...I literally had one of these almost every week while living in California this past summer! DELICIOUS!!

(Spinach, chicken, corn, red peppers, kidney beans, black beans, pecans, green peas, and walnut raspberry vinaigrette!)

Garlic Potatoes ...Yummy!!

And for the last picture (although it looks like I cheated) they were so very scrumptious!

Whole, Grain, Blueberry muffins!

...The beginning

Waiting...

So worth the wait...

Like I said, it's no gourmet meal, but i'll get there! One step at a time!

P.s. Check out this blog for some great recipes...

Auburn!

Samford Hall @ Auburn... What a beautiful campus!

For those of you wondering, although I am a Troy Trojan, and have absolutely loved my time at Troy, Auburn will always hold a very special place in my heart. Since I can remember Dad taught Rach and I to say War Eagle, and I would often switch between wearing my minnie mouse costume and Auburn cheerleader outfit to Preschool and Kindergarten. P.s. Just a side note, I have the most amazing mother, she never fought me on it, but would allow me to wear either as long as they were clean! My solution, rotate every other day! Thank you mom for your patience with me! Needless to say, I now love variety in my clothes :)

I'm noticing I blog most on what's been happening on the weekends, so that is where I will begin. This past weekend I went to Auburn to go stay with my friend Courtney. Courtney and I met in 7th grade when we cheered together, and have been best friends ever since. To top it off, one of my other best friends, Josie who I have known since Kindergarten also came and we cooked dinner and hung out! I am so blessed to have these two young ladies in my life! Thank you Lord for such great friendships!

As mentioned above...We made dinner...4 cheese pasta (Yummy!!)

To continue the cooking theme, we made homemade pizza on saturday night...

Before

After...

Needless to say...It was DELICOUS!

It was so good to go spend time with some of my best friends! Looking forward to more weekends spent together soon!

With love,

Girls Night!

This past friday night was declared Girls night! Mom, Rach, and I went to dinner at Zoes Kitchen, then went back to the house where we painted, watched a movie, and just caught up! I am so blessed to have such Godly women in my life! They are such a blessing and I do not know where I would be without either of them. Your guidance, discernment, and unconditional love has meant so much and I cannot thank God enough for making me part of such a wonderful family!

Rach surprised me earlier that night and gave me this for my bathroom....She is so talented!

As you can see, it was the perfect finishing touch! :)

Although the goal was for us to all paint, we decided Rach was so good, we put her to work and entertained while we watched! here is the finishing product! She really has a gift for this and I am trying to talk her into doing this on the side (Encourage her!!) I really think she could do well!

And Finally, Thanks to my wonderful sister, my room is now complete! Love you!

P.s. And as promised, I took a picture just to prove how entertaining my music class is...

That's right, we got to play the xylophones! MawMaw, in case you are reading this, I immediately thought of you! I didn't realize this until recently, but my grandmother used to play the xylophone in her high school band! Pretty cool!

Hope you all are having a wonderful week, will be back soon!

Until then, I will leave you the cry of my heart...

"The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The Statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple."
