Short ‘n’ Sweet

Hello all! I hope you had a fantastic Valentine’s Day…and if you don’t care too much about Vday, that you enjoyed your Monday Smile

I went out with friends for some Indian food at Indique here in the DC area and it was FANTASTIC.

Enter: Chicken Curry Indique

YUM. It looked better in the restaurant but these are my leftovers from tonight. SO delicious. Chicken with curry sauce, coconut oil (butter?) and ginger.

I paired it with some of my leftover roasted veggies from the other night.

It was one of the best dinners I’ve had in a while…if I do say so myself!

AND the countdown begins…

3 days until I get to head home to VT for 5 days!

8 days until I get to see my dad!

15 days until two of my best friends visit me in DC!

I promise more pictures will follow these adventures than I’ve been posting recently.

Did you have any fun plans last night? Do you like Indian food?

Whatcha cookin’ good lookin’?

Happy Sunday everyone!

Today was fulllllll of cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning…

Oh, and some cooking of course!

Remember that box ‘o’ produce I got the other day? Well, I figured I should put it to some good use this afternoon. Enter roasted veggies and local sauteed chicken…

Before…

Before (again)…

After they came out of a 425 degree oven for 45 minutes.

Final product! I thawed some local chicken I had in the freezer, and voila!

Before dinner had even been started, I was bored and decided…er…my sweet tooth decided to make some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies

Yum. These might be my favorite cookies in the entire world. Sometimes the basic, sugar filled recipes, are the best. Recipe: here.

I highly recommend you make these RIGHT now, make some tea, lounge with a great movie, eat one extra cookie, and call it a night

Have a great week everyone!!

What are your favorite cookies?

Hello everyone!!

Sorry I’ve been MIA for a few days, I just felt tired and more tired this week so I’ve been laying low and relaxing. Where did we leave off? Oh, right. The “surprise”…

So I bought a LivingSocial deal for Arganica.com, and was supposed to get a free produce box that looks like this…

The Latest Arganica Box

(Can be found on their website here)

But, it ended up looking a lot more pathetic, like this…

The bummer really is that I ordered the sweet potatoes, parsnips, and loaf of ciabatta bread separately. I was extremely surprised not to receive any squash in the mix…or a few more vegetables for $25.

Oh well. At least I can roast some yummy root veggies for dinner tonight!

This morning’s breakfast was:

A whole wheat raisin english muffin from Trader Joe’s, one half with almond butter and a few chocolate chips and the other half with light cream cheese and jam. YUM.

Today I’m off to explore one of the many free museums in DC w/a coworker!

In other news:

I’m heading home to Vermont next weekend for a few days of vacation!
The weekend after, my dad is visiting!
The weekend AFTER my bestest friend in the world is visiting!

It’s going to be an awesome few weeks Smile

Enjoy the day! I hope it’s sunny wherever you are!

Have you ordered groceries before? Do you think I got a good deal for local, organic produce?

One tired blogger…

You know those weeks where it feels like someone keeps shifting time from slow motion to fast forward and back again? That’s exactly how I feel this week. The days are flying by but this week seems to be taking years.

Anyways, that’s not much of an excuse but I’m exhausted from a long gym sesh today and promise promise that tomorrow night’s post will be fun!

Hint: local and organic
