So Fresh and So Clean, Clean

2009 July 16

Hey girls (and boys?!! speak now….) ! 

So I fully intended on recapping my Tuesday night and all of it’s silliness, except…my tummy hurts and I just don’t know why! I’ll give ya a quick breakdown though:

  • a guy friend had a house party
  • I chose who could and could not get in; LOVE the authority! Hahaha….
  • wore those cute white shorts (that have been saved!! woooo my mama got the carob out!) with a flowy top and black sandals
  • played a couple (sober) rounds of king’s cup- I was the driver
  • king’s cup included many rounds of 10-fingers… I LOVED playing this game with my drunk friends! Everyone’s dirty laundry gets veryyyy aired out. ‘Nuff said.

As said before, i’m not really feeling too hot, so i’m just gonna post the latest eats and then turn on the tv and fix myself a snack! Hopefully that will make me feel better. :) Oh, and take notice of all the fresh blueberries in this post. Fresh makes all the difference.

Some fine a$$ ladies inspired Monday night’s salad: tj’s spring mix, cucumbers, cherry toms, brocc, carrots, bell peps, avocado, tj’s mediterannean hummus, sesame sticks and annie’s woodstock dressing. lovelovelovelovelove. 

+ a garnett yam!

Ate that while watching the Bach. Wadafux Jillian!? You chose mankini-wearing Ed over Reid. Too bad.

blueberry oats for breakfast
Almond buttered, cinnamon-y blueberry oats
plus a tj's blueberry bran muffin w/ pb

and my favorite summer-y snack….ginger always wants to be featured on the blog

1 cup almond milk, 1/2 a banana, blueberries, sunflower seed butter, van. pp, ice! 

But before meeting up with the girlzzz, I whipped up a delicious dinner of leftovers.

first, a very green salad

Alright, that’s it! 

By the way, did I mention that I was heading to LA tomorrow?? :-D

I have three older brothers (well half-bros, ages 29, 30 & 32)…and two of them live in LA with their girlfriend’s, so the youngest bro and I are driving up tomorrow night!! We’ll be going to fun, vegetarian restaurants, the girls and I will shop, we may hit up hollyvooood, pinkberry (hoping!!), see a movie, walk/bike on the boardwalk and relax. They do whateva their lil’ sis wants to do, it’s the life people, the life! And their girlfriends are foooodies…. so you KNOW i’ll be hittin’ up their local Whole Foods. Fun, fun, funnn.

HUGS!

Much Love, Jess

  14. 2009 July 16

    Dude, tell me about it. I mourned for Reid.
    I agree on that hummus. It was good, but tasted a lot like I was eating pasta sauce flavored hummus. Which makes sense – tomato + basil…

    Feel betta soon!!!!

    I am a HUGE fan of Kings, especially when played that way. You can learn way too much about people, but I love having all of that knowledge of their less than proud moments!

    Have an amazing time in LA. Food + Shopping + Family Bonding = Perfection!

  26. 2009 July 16

    FUN, FUN, FUN – have soooo much fun in LA! i will be in chi-town but when i get back, i’m downloading that MGMT and Sia then we can chat about em’.

    delish eats as always – loved the play by play of the house party, because it totally reminds me of college. i know WAY too much about WAY too many people from the 10-finger game.

    i think i want to lick my computer screen at that applesauce mixture…is that bad?

  27. 2009 July 16

    You are the wrap queen!!

    Have fun in LA! and be safe!

  28. 2009 July 16

    Hahaha kings is always a good time! Sounds like an awesome weekend! Have fun.

    YAY JESS! LA sounds like a ball!!! I love visiting my family there and just taking the bike out and biking all over to the beach, PINKBERRY (mochi and carob topping LOVE), the promenade, etc! And shopppping! OOOH WE WILL HAVE SO MUCH FUN TOGETHER :) Are you gonna be seein Kailey??

    I tried that tomato basil hummus before too and it is def just a ‘like’…it tastes kinda too processed or something weird! Triple layer and mediteranean are DA BOMB!

    Kings cup is the best ahahahah It is always kind of slow at first then gets going and is hilarious!

    Love you!

  30. 2009 July 16
