Cherry Vanilla Smoothie

September 2, 2013 by Melissa

I realized something while on my smoothie-a-day bender: I have a terrible blender. I have one of those blenders that leaves ice cubes in the smoothie when it’s “done”. My blender is very loud too. I’m not talking whirring and annoying, I’m talking extreme buzz saw, airplane taking off noise. I almost feel like I need to write an apology note for my neighbors. And leave them a smoothie. With ice … [Read more...]

Friday Things

August 30, 2013 by Melissa

(Normally this is Fabulously Fit Friday, but since I didn't even mention how sweaty I got this week in this post, I decided to rename it today.) I've had a really rough week. I'm talkin seriously rough. I'll hash it all out for ya in sarcasticly comical prose soon, but right now, I just can't. But I'll give you a hint: Besides someone dying, what's the worst thing you could think of … [Read more...]

Blueberry Green Smoothie

August 29, 2013 by Melissa

Yada, yada, yada… I made a green smoothie for breakfast. Twice. Ok, so I’ll give a little more detail then that. May I preface this by saying I am SO not a “green smoothie gal”. I just can’t choke down liquid kale. Can’t. Won’t. Gross. So, anyways, I decided to try a meal plan for this week. It’s not a diet at all, its actually a way to get me out of my rut. I get stuck in a whole … [Read more...]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Snack Cake (vegan, low-fat)

August 27, 2013 by Melissa

This weekend I got another road trip under my belt. I feel like either I or we are always on the road. That’s probably why we still have boxes in our living room and we’ve been living there for over a year and a half now. Oops. Sorry, I’m not sorry. I’m busy. This weekend we got our marriage license! Isn’t that so exciting?! People keep telling me we’re officially married now. … [Read more...]

Fabulously Fit Friday 39

August 23, 2013 by Melissa

Hi All! You wouldn't believe the progress we've made, wedding-wise, this week. I finished putting together table numbers and ordered them; I ordered our guest "book" (which is really large white-matted frames that our guests will sign); ordered special gifts; we chose songs to dance to at the reception and I even got to practice dancing with my dad, for the first time since I was a little girl; … [Read more...]

Cantaloupe Lassi

August 21, 2013 by Melissa

First of all, I'll never be able to spell "cantaloupe" correctly the first time. It's just one of those words. Second (wow, didn't expect this to turn into a confessional), I've never had a "real" Lassi. I am an avid Indian food fan, which makes me feel like I'm probably really in touch with those flavors, instinctually. Let's just go with that, mmmkay? So, I know that they are extremely … [Read more...]

Blueberry Nectarine Coffee Cake

August 19, 2013 by Melissa

I had a wonderful weekend with my parents and my fiance. We went to the zoo, came face-to-face with penguins and an angry monkey, then went home and ate way too much cake...so overall it was a success! Before I hopped in the car, my mom and I whipped up this coffee cake. Let me tell you, it's the best coffee cake I've had in a very very long time! The subtly sweet cake is layered with blueberries … [Read more...]

Fabulously Fit Friday 38- Challenge!

August 16, 2013 by Melissa

Hey everybody! So summer is just about over and that means... I've been buying a ton of awesome summer stuff on sale!! Hooray! Oh and... My wedding is in less than TWO months! Can you believe that?! I can't. Why am I still procrastinating and taking forever to make table numbers? Ummmm...I don't know. Probably because the time constraint is something I'm still in denial about. Wanna help me? … [Read more...]

Rich Chocolate Sorbet

August 14, 2013 by Melissa

When I went and stayed for the evening with a dear friend of mine, we went on a food adventure. We used to be roommates in college and have remained close ever since. She is one of the bridesmaids in my upcoming wedding. Friends like those are few and far between. Especially when they can relate to their very soul with your love of diverse foods. So, when I emailed her to tell her I'd love for … [Read more...]

August 12, 2013 by Melissa

Thank you all for your amazing Birthday wishes! I feel like the luckiest woman in the world. Here are a few bites from my Birthday this weekend (if you follow me on Instagram, you've probably seen most of these). 1. Every birthday girl should wear dresses (excuse my bathroom mess please) 2. My fiance bought me the most beautiful flowers at the Farmers Market. 3. My best friend sent me a … [Read more...]
