Casual Friday Link Up

there is something beautiful around this time of year where we live.

thunderstorms. i.love.it.

except that we live in tornado alley, and that would make one ponder

why any human would stay in such a place.

still haven't figured that one out, I'll get back to you on that.

but the clouds can be amazing.....

I tried on these kicks with the 14 year old, who said they were ugly...like old lady-ish.

I wore them out only to find her asking if she could borrow them, swearing she never said such a thing.

roasted veggies

this is beyond easy....don't hate.

it has become my go-to way to fix veggies,

besides the bags you can nuke. 

pure genius.

grab a handful, or 8, of fresh veggies.

seriously, any will do.

And wash those suckers. (my local market also sells bags of fresh, 

that make it super easy).

Squash, carrots, brussel sprouts...whatevs.

For the larger ones, cut down to bite size or so, 

you want them to cook all the way through.

Spread them out on a cookie sheet, with tiny little walls on the sheet.

Drizzle EVO in a fun squiggle pattern across the top, 

then sprinkle sea salt on top of that.

Pop them in your oven, set at 415, for about 15 or so minutes.

with smaller veggies, like green beans and asparagus, I might stir them 

around once or twice,

but we like them crispy.

Or some would say burned.

Seriously y'all....

wear...

seriously have a slight obsession 

with my vans...

and some would say my phone.

pshhhh, whatevs.

Lack of posting,

rhymes with lack of time to fix the hair...
between pom tryouts, soccer, gymnastics, guitar, tennis
oh, and organizing hundreds of kids for bailout for an organization,
this is me....

all.week.

TGIF, it's casual friday

Haven't moved from this chair in almost two weeks...

is it bad when you start using a make-shift

desk, because yours is too full?

when they can't find me, they yell...

hence the ear muffs

Thankful for The XX, it has made the spreadsheets a tad easier...

Casual Friday Link Up...

I think we had one day,

one day people,

where the sun came out, wind stayed with g'ma one more day, and the dirt hung out where it was supposed to...the ground.

one friggin day.

so I wore a tee and carried a cute bag.

then we had another cold front.

in May.

in Texas.

is this for real?

Seriously love this bag...its the How Does She Do It

Yup, it has the mac book, my dslr and my purse inside my purse

easy weeknight favorites roundup

you know we all have them,

our go-to grub that we know we can whip out in 

a flash (somehow I manage to extend it by 30 minutes...minimum),

and the little humans dig.

I did a round up of some from other blogger, 

cause you know that you always need new ideas. Unless you have more than one go-to recipe, eh hem.

Mine started out as tacos, shocking I know, but it has evolved over the years

into some sort of open burrito, with or with out the tortilla, and whatever else might be in the pantry, 

 a dash of coconut and salsa.

uh, yeah.

Brown the meat and add your taco seasoning.

We use flour and corn torts or rice and fritos if I get a wild hair,

sour cream

mexican cheese

tomatoes

avocados

and coconut

yes, I know the last is weird, but trust me....it makes it sweet and oh so good.

Want more fabulous ideas from my homegirls?

yup, they are awesome.
