28th Birthday

Turning 28 was sweet indeed!

I get my hypochondriac-ism from my father...he had a flu shot earlier in the day, and started having chills and couldn't stop shaking...just like someone else told him their father had experienced. I brought up the movie "Bandits" and the scene where the guy starts smelling burning feathers. I love my mom and pops!

holy deliciousness. Raw chocolate cheesecake on the left - the crust was perfectly salted to add contrast to the sweetness. On the right is the pomegranate chocolate cake that is a staple at the pomegranate cafe here in Ahwatuckee. The three of us shared these pieces and I ate the leftovers for breakfast the morning after. sweet.

Getting back to nature...

I have been eating lots of processed things like...pita chips, and those delicious cheese-less cheetos by pirates booty - TINGS!!! I'm getting off course. Needing to pull myself back to health I focused on raw salads...yum!!

Hostess with the mostess?

Vegan lasagna! I used three different recipes to make this and found an awesome green ceramic baking dish to make it in. The lasagna included my sister-in-laws suggested "meatballs", pesto deliciousness, and lots of juicy tomatoes and "ricotta cheese" i made myself. oh yes, delicious. my non-vegan friends went back for seconds! I call this dish "Megan's yumminess.com"

catching up - green things that i love

I have decided to start buying flowers for myself. My apartment looks so much more like a warm and friendly home when i have cheerful flowers greeting me!

I have been on an asparagus kick. i love these babies broiled with olive oil and tons of garlic cloves...oh BABY!!!

When I was in Minnesota my dad fixed my grandma's riding lawn mower and actually let me mow! This was the first time and only time I have ever mowed in my life. Ben always did the mowing growing up. I was really excited. I mowed crooked lines and didn't know you were supposed to go in a circle. I was pretty cool though, seriously.
