Recent Eats

Hey.
a12
So, the last time I posted about my “recent eats” was in March. Not acceptable! I became busy during the last month of school and throughout my internship, so photographing food was the last thing on my mind.

Well, I have food photos now. Here are my recent eats!

a1
Pancakes galore.

a2
America on a plate.

a5
Dipping/Snack plate. Gotta love fresh corn!

a6
Taco, kale, mushrooms, and snap peas.

a7
My uncle owns a lot of livestock, and he gave my family some fresh beef, bacon, and pork sausage. So I made bacon-topped meatloaf.

a8
Grilled shrimp. Potato kebabs. Mushroom kebabs. Yum.

a9
I had too much time on my hands on Saturday and I tried to be really artsy with my food.

a10
Fried zucchini. I had to buy this zucchini, but if all goes well, my garden will produce more zucchini than I can handle. What a wonderful problem to have 😉

a13
Lettuce from my garden. Makes me so happy.

Now onto the cookies I’ve been testing out for my brother’s wedding in July…

a3
Peanut butter, pretzel, and milk chocolate chip cookies. YES.

a4
Oatmeal raisin cookies. Can’t go wrong with a classic.

a11
Lemon rings. I made half of the batch into rings and decided they were ugly, so I made half the batch into balls. I just don’t know. I think I might try a better looking lemon cookie recipe. Does anyone have a really good lemon cookie recipe?!

Well, that’s all the foodie pictures I have for now.

This week I get to do more baking because I’m working in the kitchen at my church for Vacation Bible School (also known as VBS) this week. Many of the women who work in the kitchen during VBS are older and “burned out,” so they’re training me to be in charge of the kitchen duties next year. Yikes! Responsibility!

Excitement

The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is majestic. Psalm 29:4

Hey there! I am extra excited today because…..

I’m going to my city’s zoo! Yaaaaaaaay Pittsburgh! The Pittsburgh zoo has polar bears and penguins, which is pretty exciting. I always love looking at the wild peacocks walking around and the wild dogs and of course the elephants, tigers… and well… everything 🙂

I’m also excited because I convinced my brother to come to masters swim with me on Friday @ 6:00AM.. we’ll see how that goes 😉

I finagled him to come by buying him some new goggles, hehe.

I also got a new cap. It is BRIGHT! I want to rock the “traffic cone look” while I swim ;p

Lastly, i’m excited about my strange garden. For some reason my cucumbers grew circular instead of long. They are tasty nonetheless!

Ever rock strange exercise clothes?

Ever grown weird shaped veggies?
