Okay, I'm only going to be gone for about two weeks before I visit home.
Still, the past week has been packed with visiting friends, eating a TON of delicious food, and basically traipsing around my house like I'm leaving forever. Oh, and
shopping. I caved and bought
New Balance Minimus Life sneaks. I love them so far--review coming soon!
Canceling my gym membership and returning all my library books seems so
final. How did summer go so quickly??
With a number of things to do before I left, close to the top of my list was to make a
Green Monster smoothie. I used the simple-yet-delicious
recipe from
JuliannaBananna. It isn't the prettiest, but it was delicious! (My mom tasted it and was shocked when she heard I put
spinach in it. I eat the most vegetables in the family, haha.)
Bottoms up!
I have been craving
s'mores lately, so I finally bought all my ingredients at the grocery and concocted a ton. This one is made with a
dark chocolate Reese's. YUM. Dark chocolate + pb = amaaazing combination.

We finally went to a new(ish, new to me is about...a year?!) restaurant, CheeburgerCheeburger. I did the unthinkable and ordered a salad. They have unlimited toppings on their salads, so I went a bit crazy. It was gigantic, with
grilled chicken, banana peppers, red bell peppers, grape tomatoes, salsa, black olives, cheddar cheese, guacamole, onions, baby corn, and
romaine. *phew* I think that's everything! I liked the salad even better after it marinated overnight, and I stuffed it in a wrap, which toned down the spiciness a bit.
I leave with this (so flattering) photo of me, because my mom thought it was funny I was in bliss, and I made s'mores three nights in a row.
Have marshmallows, will microwave.
I might become a s'more.
What food can't you get enough of lately?
I loved my Green Monster! I wish it had more green. Do you like smoothie/shakes?
