Favortie Thing #1 :
Lately, I have really been enjoying the food network channel. Growing up, I always thought watching someone cook on T.V. was the most pointless thing on the planet. Why watch someone cook, when you can just get the recipe and dive in and figure it out yourself?
However, my opinion has been changed. I LOVE watching the food network channel. I especially enjoy Barefoot Contessa, I think she's great. She's so earthy and her kitchen decor is by far my favorite out of all the shows the food network hosts. Not that the way her kitchen looks has anything to do with the way she or I cook... but it makes me feel clean. Which makes me like her food. Strange, I know.
Sometimes it can put me to sleep; the way the camera-men zoom in on parsley being chopped or a stew boiling... but recently I have been learning a lot and staying awake!

The other day Ina made these; pecan squares!
Here's the recipe
You'll probably want to cut the recipe in half. I did; and it still made A TON!

I realize hers look way better. That's just because of the fancy cameras they have. Trust me. :)
Brett and I really are enjoying them...
Brett has been going to the refrigerator a lot these past couple of days...
Favorite Thing #2:Brett and I still had some gift cards, so as an investment and as a treat we got season five of the office. One of the best decisions we've ever made. Enough said.
Favorite Thing #3:
I can eat oatmeal every meal of every day. I know Julie can probably agree with me... It's SO good...in everything! I'm beginning to drool. These are the ways I eat it:
- pour some oats in a bowl and pour some milk over; eat and enjoy!
- open a yogurt and put a few spoonfuls of oats in...so good
- Top oatmeal with frozen fruit and milk and microwave
- Add some on top of any cereal I am eating
- also good in cookie dough...
Favorite Thing #4:This is a little embarrassing, but my family already knows- I have an infatuation for feet pajamas. I've always thought they were they greatest invention. I like them so much in fact, that my good friend Brittany Mayer got them for me one Christmas.
Look Britt, i still where them! :)
I love how snuggly and warm you feel. Plus, they're so fun to run around in because they make you feel like your a kid again.
