I Better Look Good By This Summer
I've been working out for almost eight weeks now, without seeing any real results. Sure I feel better and my body is stronger; but I really wanted to be able to seeit. And since that is taking long...

Valentine's Dinner
Since we're way too busy during the week, we decided to celebrate Valentine's day on Sunday instead. We had a lot to celebrate too - one year earlier Andy asked me to marry him. So we went to the e...
Smoothie Machine
I had completelyforgotten about this thing! I bought it in November and it's just been lying in a cabinet until I found it today. And then I had to try it out right away. I love smoothies! The set ...
My Monday Night
Ah, Monday must be the best day to not have classes on (seeing as it's normally my least favorite day of the week). So I've stayed at home all day and gotten some work done, while enjoying our day ...
This Is Awesome!
I really have to try this myself, yum! - LINK
Sushi Date
Andy has been busy studying for a test ever since we got back, so yesterday after he was done we decided to go out for sushi and have some fun. It's weird to think that two years ago I didn't even ...

Green Curry
I ended up making Green Curry instead of Tikka Masala, since I already had a can of coconut milk lying around. I've never tried it before, but it was really, really good. We'll definitely be making...
Birthday Dinner
We had planned on getting Indian food yesterday, but we changed our mind because sushi sounded evenbetter. It was definitely the right decision. We started out with hot sake and Japanese beer (so g...
Good Food
After making a pretty great dinner (if I can say so myself) I've mostly spent the night trying to get some school work done. Since it's my birthday tomorrow (well, technically today), I wanted to g...
Happy Halloween!
My Halloween sugar cookies didn't turn out quite the way I had expected them since they melt a bit too much when they are cooked. But they still look kind of cute, and they taste delicious. Happy H...
My Favorite Salads
There is hardly anything better, healthier, and easier to make that a salad when you want a snack or a light lunch. Here are my two current favorites. Absolutely delicious.
My "taco salad", made w...
Our Delicious Dinner
I suppose that I should start eating healthier now that I've finally started working out. But for now I'll take it one step at a time, but I am definitely going to start focusing on making better d...
Weekend = Good Food
Me and Andy normally don't have enough time to make food during the week since we're too busy with schoolwork. But as soon as the weekend arrives we make sure to get in couple of decent meals. Actu...
Today's Weird Craving
At 9 o'clock at night, after getting back from playing soccer, I started craving... pancakes. Really?! I hardly ever eat pancakes, especially American ones. But that's what I wanted. So that's what...
Delicious Smoothie
Nothing gives you that "summer feeling" like a delicious, homemade smoothie. The weather was amazing here today, but after doing school work for three days straight I was too exhausted to go outsid...

Madelen set a fantastic shrimp table on Saturday. I have ever been used to eating shrimp, and I was a little skeptic to weather or not I'd like it. It was actually so good that I already want more ...
Delicious Dinner
I love eating food that is both good AND healthy. I like food and candy way too much to eat healthy all the time, but I can definitely eat this with a clean conscience. Mom served a salad with sun-...
