Shrimp

Arcade Night, The Wright Brother’s National Memorial, and Other Fun

Picking up where I left off in my last post, we are enjoying our time in the Outer Banks! We had another nice weather day on Saturday so my mom, Sadie, and I made it to a new-to-us park while my dad and Jimmy went to day two of the car show.

I definitely had a wicked sunburn from the day before, so I made sure to wear a long sleeve shirt and lots of sunscreen 😂 (more…)

Some recent delicious eats:

Hard boiled egg in my vehicle on campus. I promise I wasn’t driving and eating and taking a picture–I’m not that skilled!

Tuna sandwich! Just tuna, mayo, lettuce, and bread. Easy peasy.

A little side salad of spinach, cucumbers, tomatoes, sunflower seeds, and raspberry dressing.

Chicken station! I was going to fry chicken for my family’s dinner one night but my mom wanted me to bake it instead, so I did. Boo-hoo. I just dipped the chicken in milk and then in bread crumbs + flour + salt.

This was after I assembled the chicken. I forgot to take a picture after it was baked though. Bummer!

Shrimp! They were frozen and thawing in the sink. I combined them with homemade pesto, gnocchi, and asparagus. Pretty legit. The recipe is pretty simple.

I ❤ gnocchi because they literally cook in 2 minutes! So easy.

This would be homemade pesto in the making. In the food processor: basil, parm, garlic, pine nuts, lemon juice, and olive oil.

Panera Bread! I usually get the fuji apple chicken salad but I heard the Thai chopped chicken salad was pretty spicy so I decided to try it. It IS spicy, but in a good way! I couldn’t taste anything for like an hour after though :p.

Plain old Swiss Miss hot cocoa! Perfect on a chilly night.
