Ain't No Martha Stewart- Pancakes with an apple reduction

I guess you can call this the tutorial.

Anyway, dice apples and add them to butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. I may have added a splash of milk. Cook.

Top pancakes with deliciousness and add bacon and eggs.

DELICIOUS.

Maybe one of the best ideas ever.

breakfast.

Vegas! again.

So, Nicki and I were invited to meet up with Jillian and David in Vegas because Jillian was there for work and David was lonely.

Point is we got the cheapest Vegas trip ever.

And stayed at the Palazzo.

near the pool pretty high up at the new Cosmopolitan resort

good news is I now will never have to worry about running for a political position

hahahaha

In the middle of Sin City, this is my favorite part

Bye bye Vegas!

5 hours of T-Swift, Sky Bridge, McDonalds, gambling, nude-y cards, weird tv, falling asleep early, waking up early, more gambling.

fabulous trip.

pretty good weekend

:)

New Years!

For New Years Eve Dustin and I met up with Nicki for some fun.

We joined David (her brother), Jillian (his fiancée and our old dance friend) and their friend Mike at a bar in Old Town Scottsdale. The night was filled with singing, some weird dancing, and fun.

two of my loves. and our hats.

new hat which doubled as a drink cover to prevent from being roofied.

My love and I after our New Years kiss

Beginning another year with my favorite girl

After the bar we picked up Grant (Nickis friend) and his friend, went back to Nickis and played some ping pong and Mario Kart until we were too tired to go on. :)

the end of said activities.

Next came New Years Day. My family, Dustin, Grandfather, Sally and Kayla all went out to Greesewood Flats for some BBQ fun. Basically you bring a dish for your family which is your ticket into the pot luck. Greesewood Flats smokes a ton of pork and everyone feasts.

There are fire pit areas spread out everywhere. They supply the wood and you can build your own fire.

Christmas Break Continued

Christmas day is always fabulous.

I am thankful that God sent Jesus to give us a human connection to Him, to show us what humanity is really about, and to save us from our sins.

We celebrated the day with Christmas gifts, and a wonderful dinner.

favorite gift- a new sewing machine to get my craft on.

The next day we celebrated Christmas with more friends and family (+Dustin got into town). I threw a Christmas left-overs party and it was so nice to have the ones I love in one place. Plus, I love throwing a party or two. Ironically I only have one picture from the party.

The girls

The next week was filled with pool, bowling, game time, and much more.

if only

playing Life with mom and Dustin

Extra fabulous watching Natashas bowling skills

B-rizzle

yeah, thats for real.

winter break recap

So I blogged all the time over the break... but Im now realizing I didn't blog about what I actually did yet!

Here we go.

You saw how wonderful Disneyland was, and it pretty much rained the rest of the time I was there. I spent time with Dustin, our friends (his high school friends) and his family a lot of the time. His sisters took me to get a Christmas pedicure and we took his cousins to Balboa Park.

dinner on the ocean (pretty much) with a view of the downtown San Diego skyline

hit or miss- spin the spinner for a color and that bean either tastes delicious or will make you want to die. chocolate pudding or dog food... surprise!

my bomb tower that the staff took a picture of because it was awesome. im just saying.

Dustin and Carsons tower... aka Dustins work

Nick, Dustin, myself and Carson- I just love Balboa Park

After some great times there I left for Christmas Eve at the Johnsons. Christmas church service then party time!

mumsy and I

The family :) ... with a Blue Moon. Of course.

Ain't No Martha Stewart- Tomato Veggie Soup

When I was at home I had the pleasure of getting to cook a few times.

I totally miss cooking.

This recipe was found from the food network. Thank you very much.

delicious. and it was perfect for Nicki, our vegetarian guest.

and the wonderful dinner was followed up with a new episode of Grey's. wonderous.

yum.

Confession Wednesdays: 14

I have no idea what to do if I don't get into Pepperdine.

Lets hope I don't have to cross this path.

My options I have not really thought through are:

1. to be Tinker Bell at Disneyland

2. to be a Wedding Planner (the only real possibility)

3. to open my own bar

the future.
