Food | Living My Full Life

I’m happy to report that Jimmy thoroughly enjoyed his Oreo cake.

His brother and I bought him a telescope for his birthday. He’s already obsessed with it and I think it’s cute. Not the telescope, but his love of it haha.

After church on Sunday, Jimmy and I celebrated his birthday by visiting Ohiopyle State Park.

I spent Memorial Day with my family and Lola! My brother, who now lives 20 minutes away from my family(!!), came over and we had a cookout.

We also had barbecue chicken, scallops, cheeseburgers, avocado salsa, baked beans, and watermelon.

I watched my dad braid my mom’s hair. So adorable.

Lola was walked and made a trip to the gas station with me, as usual.

Now, about the title of this post, “Decisions.”

I have some exciting news. My brother and his fiance asked me to bake cookies for their wedding in July! Right now, we’re in the process of brainstorming which types of cookies they want me to bake. All I know for sure is that I’ll be baking 500 cookies. That’s about 42 dozen!

What cookies should I bake for Bill and Racquel’s wedding?

Heeey there and happy Friday! Sorry it’s been a few days since I last posted. I began my internship on May 1st, and it’s been keeping me busy. I’ll probably blog more about that later.

Recent eats:

BBQ pulled chicken. It doesn’t look amazing, but the flavor is right on. I love all things BBQ.

Salmon + sweet potato fries with cinnamon.

Honey pretzel chicken skewers with honey mustard. This recipe only requires four ingredients! I’ll have to share it soon.

15 bean soup, salad, bread, and hot pepper chips. An odd but tasty combo.

I posted this on Instagram about a week ago, but I thought I’d share this with the blog world. I was looking through my old journals and found an entry from the first time I hung out with Jimmy. I love him so much!

Speaking of Jimmy, I love spending time with him and his brother. They constantly make me laugh.

I’ve been cuddling with Felix a lot lately. He’s so sweet. My family never had a male cat until we adopted Felix. We have been so surprised at how friendly he is. People keep telling me that male cats are more affectionate than female cats. Interesting!

I’ve mentioned this before, but Lola loves riding in the car. I take her with me to run little errands like getting gas and going to the bank. She makes me so happy and I like to think that I make her happy as well.

Mother’s Day is Sunday!

Here’s a recipe to cook for your momma:
Eggplant Chana Masala

I hope everyone has an awesome weekend!
