WIAW and Life Lately

Hello! Today’s WIAW is going up a little bit late, but that’s ok!

Today’s post will sort of be photo dump style. Expect more organization tomorrow-I’m recording a “Day in the Life” today!

Dinner on Sunday night was a giant Mexican salad with an obscene amount of avocado. I can count of one hand the number of times I’ve had avocado since coming to school….

Also a cheese quesadilla on top.

Breakfasts have been same old, same old. Which I actually like, because it’s nice to have a routine, but doesn’t make for the most interesting blog content. The other day there were bananas though, which was a nice change!

While this lunch wasn’t the most exciting, I loved how colorful it was! Mashed sweet potatoes, hard boiled egg, and broccoli.

Yesterday, I went out to lunch with my family. My mom and I split a chopped salad (see my version here!) and an arepa with gouda.

Dinner at the dining hall was meh. The roasted vegetables were great-the food I did get was good, but there wasn’t a protein source so my meal felt like it was majorly missing something.

I remedied that by making some chia pudding, eaten in front of the Giant’s game.

I left it in the communal fridge to thicken, and I feel like people probably judged me heavily because it looks pretty weird!

In terms of life things, I’m officially having a Halloween party! I’m a little obsessed with holidays, and I feel like if I didn’t have one, I’d be sitting around by myself on Halloween. I invited people yesterday, and have zero idea what type of turnout I’ll get. On the plus side, my high school friend is visiting, and she’s very artsy so she can help decorate!

Other life news: this gum. It tastes like love and happiness.

Also, I love my Giants and I love my friends.

SO HAPPY about yesterday’s game! I’ve planned my whole life around the games so it was great to get a win! So happy guys, you have no idea. Let’s hope we keep this up!

What have you eaten lately?

Literally the Best Thing Ever

Hey guys! I’m sorry I haven’t posted hardly at all lately! I’ve been busy/I haven’t been feeling my blogging mojo lately, but I thought I’d share some pictures, including the BEST THING EVER. As in best. And thing. Ever.

My sombrero and I live for Cinco de Mayo.

Check. It. Out. OMG. A tortilla chip sombrero filled with huac! (Like from Despicable Me 2). My sister is the best person ever. This was WAY too awesome, and pretty much all of my life’s dreams have been fulfilled.IMG_7552

Plus other food from my hall’s little Cinco de Mayo party! (I got to DJ thanks to my extensive collection of Spanish music. LOVE.)

And I’m just going to hit you guys with some other pictures from this week. One highlight includes microwave caramel! We microwaved honey, butter, and coconut cream, stirred occasionally, topped with seas salt, and let it cool! It was a bit more of the toffee side so we need to cook it less next time!

Just a couple of other noteworthy topics: I think the reason I hated chia pudding before was that I didn’t cover/seal it very well so it tasted too much like fridge. That or it just tastes way better when made with coconut milk! Also I made a fail of a chocolate mint smoothie this morning-I used fresh mint leaves, cocoa powder, and banana like last time, but I left out the chocolate protein powder, which was apparently a necessary component, so the flavors majorly clashed!

Do you ever lose your blogging mojo?
