Things I would rather do than endure the DC humidity:
As you know, I am always looking for ways to trick myself into thinking I am eating carbs, when I am not. Like here. However I do know that cauliflower is not a carb. ;)
So I came across a Cauliflower Crusted Pizza Recipe and I instantly wanted to try it. It was delishhhhhh 
Ingredients:
Now this recipe was farely easy, but had quite a process to it. I also made some modifications to the recipe that I used.
First preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry the cauliflower and cut off the florets, you will not need the stems. Normally you would use a food processor, but since I did not have one I used a blender. At this point I did not steam or cook the cauliflower in any way and I am not sure I would recommend doing that. The cheap ass blender I have was having a hard time chopping it up.
If you decide to cook the cauliflower after the chopping (like me) then place it in a microwave safe bowl and cover. Microwave for 4 minutes and dump the cauliflower in a clean towel and allow for it to cool down.
Once the cauliflower is cool enough, in which I so anxiously learned the hard way, wrap it up in the towel and ring out all of the water. Its suprising how much comes out and how it resembles pizza dough.
Then add the parmesian cheese, mozzarella cheese, salt, dried basil, dried oregano, gardlic powder, and the egg into one bowl. I didn’t use my hands like the recipe, I used a mixer, but both work great.
MAKE SURE YOU PUT SOME SORT OF NON-STICK ON THE PARCHMENT PAPER. I’m sure this is common sense to most but no to this gal. This caused a great deal of annoyance and stickage.
Then place in the oven for 8-11 minutes until its golden brown.
Next you get to add all of the goodies you would like. I was super boring and only had pizza sauce, rocatta cheese, and mozarella cheese. Then place it into oven for another 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
And Enjoy!!
Please let me know how you like it and any other recipes you have used cauliflower with! 
Good very muggy morning friends!!! This weekend was a whirlwind. So incredibly busy, but in a good way. Russell and I made the what would normally take 3 hours took 5 hours treck down 95 to Norfolk on Friday. We stayed with our best couple friend and it was a blast, per usual.
Saturday was filled with beer, beer and more beer. We attended the Annual Beer Fest in Norfolk on the waterfront. The weather was so-so but that didn’t stop us from having a good time. Just made my hair have its own frizz party.
I am also a sucker for little souvenirs, so you can imagine how pumped I was to keep this mini beer glass. (Even though I paid for it)
We also had a surprisingly large group that went.
And this was my favorite beer. Thirsty Frogs.
So let’s chat - are you a beer person?? I am more of a beer-o than a wine-o! 
…… food trucks. Who doesn’t love the concept of reasonably priced food that is ready within minutes. Not to mention the variety of food that is available.
……. that Amanda Bynes use to be so hilariously awesome and is now the next Lindsay Lohan. Don’t just my thoughts, you were thinking it too.
……. how time flies. This is something I will never wrap my little mind around.
……. how when I make a call at times, I am so programmed to say “Event Services, this is Alex” and then realize its my mom on the line.
……. how people have absolutely no elevator ettiqute. Let me off before you stampede onto the elevator!
……. that Russell still opens the door for me after we’ve been together for over a year and a half. That man has some good manners sometimes.
…… that I know the lyrics that come after The real me a southern girl with her levi’s on and an open heart. Don’t hate, we all went through that Nick & Jessica phase.
As a wee youngin’ I was always taught that you are the key to your own happiness. This is something I strongly believe in. If you want something you have to believe and work for it.
And to my suprise I got a little something in return. Stay tuned to see if it gets fixed.
Instead I picked these, chose them and loved them.
And they weren’t half bad
Hope your week is going swell!
I am a sucker for some motivational quotes, so here’s to a little pick-me-up to start off this glorious Monday.
Is it just me who has NOT read The Great Gatsby? Shame on you Loudon County Public Schools.
Leo
Is it just me who gets infuriated when peppers touch any part of their food? I hate that I hate peppers, but I do, and I can taste in one bite if they have had contact with any piece of food on my plate.
Is it just me or do you cry a little every time you have to fill your gas tank up? Especially when it’s on E.
Is it just me who never did a keg stand while in college? I know I know, did I even go to college?!?!
Is it just me or does The Big Bang Theory make your skin crawl?? I don’t know why, but the nerdiness is not funny to me. Just makes me uncomfortable.
Is it just me or do you think Jennifer Lawrence could be your best friend? Seriously, she just seems cool.
Is it just me or you so stoked its FRIDAYYYYYYY??? and da weekend!
Good morning friends!!! Thank goodness its Thursday – AMIRIGHT??!?? Last night was a rather exciting time. It is no secret that I am a fan of spaghetti squash, so I decided to try Spaghetti Squash Lasagna. (Below is the recipe)
Ingredients:
First cook the spaghetti squash. They normally take an hour to cook, however I was introduced to a new faster method. Cut the squash in half and plastic wrap it really tight, then microwave for 6 minutes.
Wa-la! Fully cooked!
Then coat the bottom of the pan with pasta sauce then add the spaghetti squash and ricotta cheese on top of that.
Next add another layer of pasta sauce and top it off with the mozzarella.
The finished product! And will make for some great left overs too. Wow that was redneck…
To bad I was a mad woman leaving today and did not have time to bring some for lunch But good news – we did purchase a couch last night, so friends can come on ova!
So let’s chat – what are your favorite spaghetti squash recipes??
First off, happy hump day lovers! The question for today that I must ask everyone is do you get worked up over dumb shit?
Well this moving process has given me a straight answer of YES, yes my friend, I do get to worked up over dumb shit. Meaning, I get aggervated or want everything to be just so or I might have a hissy fit explode. I am suprised Russell hasn’t gone running in the other direction.
I try to blame a portion of it on exhaustion, however I still know what I am doing.
Yesterday Russell wanted a cabinet for his millions DVDs. My reaction went somewhat like this (see below), along with a UGHHHH I don’t want to junk up the apartment.
This is what needs to happen.
So if you take any thing away from today’s post its, Don’t sweat the small stuff, because its simply not worth it!
