A little bit sweet

Just tried to give notice at work for a new job, and walked out with a promise to think about it over the weekend. Damn you boss for being the most awesome person to work for. (Butt…the rest of the office can suck it.)
Why do major life decisions have to be so hard?

$48 for a year’s worth of menu planning.  Do people actually pay for this shit?  

What?  I was just lamenting the worst part of working for an ad agency is no one has kids old enough to be a Scout.  And I need my cookie fix.  And don’t even get me started on not being able to buy the fancy, fundraiser Christmas paper.

You guys, the Girl Scouts have a cookie finder app. Am I the last to know about this?

Also: COOKIE SEASON! IT’S HERE!

This.

I’ve spent the entire month on a self-imposed no drinking, no gluten, minimal sugar, eating clean detox…With the exception of a delicious slice of salted caramel cake (recipe post coming) a few weeks ago, and the outrageously delicious and expensive gelato I bought to use up the remaining salted caramel sauce the other week.  

But last night, Jota and I were debating getting Penguin’s.  And I made us have tea instead.  Tea.  What is wrong with me?  Please don’t answer that. 

Now all I can think about is these brownies and what I’m going to make for the Superbowl.  And going to the store next week to buy this awesome Woodchuck Cider Sampler, which is still gluten free I might add.   

Don’t get me wrong, I feel great.  But don’t doubt for a second that I’m not counting down the days until I can savor a glass of wine.

IMPORTANT.

Well shit.  I need this to match the clutch. 

Reblog for future baby Jota.  Don’t worry, just because I’m not drinking right now, that doesn’t mean I’m pregnant.  Can’t a girl just have a detox without people immediately thinking there’s a bun in my oven?

Help! Adorable mobile makes me want a baby. Someone quick, lend me a baby so I change my mind!

Holy effing adorable.

$90? I don’t think so, Etsy. I’m going to pull a plagiarism here and make it myself. Felt, some sticks, and buttons? $10, max.

Two likes!  Seeing as I think that’s the most likes ever on a post, and these things are pretty easy to make, I figure I should share the wealth and post a recipe.  They were great with fried eggs, and I sent the leftovers to work with Jota for him to have with hummus as a snack. 

Sorry in advance for my shoddy measurements and procedure, but my cooking style is the exact opposite of my baking style.  I just throw shit together that I know will work.  

Ingredients:

about a cup of cooked quinoa

2 eggs

1 tbs Cajun seasoning (Tonys’!)

few pinches of salt

1/2 onion, finely chopped

2 tbs coconut flour for gluten free (sub any flour you want, or bread crumbs)

Process:

Mix everything together.  Scoop on to a baking sheet with an ice cream scoop, and press flat.  Freeze while you prep/make the rest of your meal.  Fry in about an inch of oil, until golden brown.  Inhale. 

It took me a while, but once I got it, I couldn’t stop laughing.

Chicken apple sausage
Cajun quinoa cakes ( made GF with coconut flour )
Fried eggs
Avocado
Hot sauce

No picture because I ate it.

Two clementines for dessert!

Radar’s mastered the ability to lay across the back of the couch. Pretty sweet for a blind dog.
