I need to start eating healthier. I had to pull that number where you pull on your favorite jeans -- you barely get them buttoned-- and then you start doing some yoga ( in a private room) in order to stretch them out. You don't normally do yoga, but when it comes time for your pants to fit, grab a yoga mat and do some squats. This morning I was sitting in class, eating a lunchable (pizza, in case you were wondering) and the cheese sprang everywhere with every bite. You think I'm joking, but when I got up for the break-- cheese was in my seat, tucked in my shirt, on the floor..oh my..maybe I should actually melt the cheese and eat the dang pizza like normal. But I probably won't. My professor said my final was going to be like "Armageddon". At this point in time, I have taken it..and as I was walking into the final, I got stuck in the doorway with my big backpack--and guess what happened? My coke zero EXPLODED all over me, the floor, my purse....

My sister celebrated a birthday :) Her 18th Birthday, in fact. My mother made a HOMEMADE Icecream Cake (featured on the left). How do you make homemade Icecream Cake? The easy way? Well. I wasn't the one who made it, so I don't have the step-by-step pictures but I will explain in Detail. Ingredients: -A Box of Icecream Sandwiches -Cake Mix (and all that accompanies it-- eggs,oil,water, etc. -Cool Whip -Shell Chocolate Syrup and Reeses Syrup -M&M's (Or any other type of candy) Directions: -Bake the cake. -Let it cool. -Layer the icecream sandwiches out for the bottom -Set the cake on top - Put the cool whip on top of it in chunks -Layer the chocolate/reeses hard shell on top -Throw on some M&Ms/ any other candy on top Walah. This looks great. AND it tastes great too! But before you go off and bake your awesome cake, I want to introduce you to Stewart {Stew}. Let me tell you something..Stewart KNOWS how to eat. (obviously). I caught him sleeping the other day....it might be the cutest thing I've ever seen. What a Chub. Go eat some icecream cake. Make it Easy!

But alas, it is in English at the moment--so become a part of this awesome e-mail list so you won't miss out! Onward. I had a meeting this morning with a Professor who sounds like a mix between Kermit the Frog and Mr. Rogers. You think I jest, but come on over and listen for yourself. We discussed my last midterm. He said I know the answers, I just have issues explaining them properly and maybe I should study more for my tests. Nothing like a self-esteem booster. Stay in school, kids. Aye. Make something. Today, I had the extreme urge to make a FRUIT PIZZA. I had the urge for fruit the other day too. You know some days your body just craves some healthy food--some nature-- some natural-- some earth. Give it to your self. I thought about planting a garden once -- you should have one too. Ingredients: Sugar cookie dough --...

I'm hungry. I'm a baker and I'm hungry. I'm thinking about what to make next. Scones? With Fruit? Pie? With fruit? A smoothie? With Fruit? What do you think? I almost burned down my house yesterday. You think I'm joking but it was like my 11-year-old flashback when I set 2 poptarts on fire (I know- 2 poptarts!- Welcome to chubbsville- Don't judge). My mother even offered to make me breakfast and the 20-something inside of me was feeling a tad over-independent. So after she left, I stuffed my english muffin in the toaster oven (hot, hot, hot) and turned it to the "burnt toast image". I know what you're thinking. I had it coming when I put it on that image, but I like my muffins a little crispy--didn't know what would happen. (So Sorry I have problems getting to the point. Just ask anyone I know.) As I was reading food blogs, watching bachelorette, sitting in my pajamas, winking at my dog, I smelled something burnt. I RUN into the kitchen and see smoke pouring out of the toaster oven and...

Yesterday I watched a softball game for 2.5 hours -- in the sun, with my legs up on the fence. Do you ever have those weird tan lines just on the TOP of your leg? Or rocking the farmer's tan/burn? Welcome to my world. Georgia. Figure out what weather you want. DANG GINA. Wear a sweater. But on to bigger and better things... Do you ever have those days where you just want to be a "couch potato" and eat bread (Oh, the food jokes). The smell of fresh bread- the way it kinda burns your hand but you don't care--how you pull the bread apart and watch the steam escape and you stick your nose right in the middle to smell it? Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. I had someone recently tell me that bread is something they could live off of for the rest of their life--they were being serious--but this was as they were eating a homemade French bread loaf. We would all say it. Cute. I made these rolls to accompany the Corn Chowder and they were and I...
