Merry Happy. 2nd Edition

Pfannkuchen.

3:15 PM

6 oz. greek yogurt (any flavor)
1 egg
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
(recipe credit)

done.

Four ingredient pancakes?! Now we're talkin'.

After discovering this recipe online last week...let's just say I've made it a few times. Switching it up and making it with Orange Greek yogurt was also a stroke of genius inspired by Stephen. Once I even got real fancy and put pieces of sliced banana in each pancake, spread more greek yogurt on top when they were done, drizzled on a bit of maple syrup and topped with fresh bananas. YUM.

Everyday Life

Retired.

10:00 PM

It was high time for Stephen and me to invest in some decent silverware...

The silverware that Stephen purchased before freshman year was begging to be retired.

After much thought and contemplation while standing in front of the silverware section at Bed, Bath, and Beyond (seriously...it took him like 15 minutes) Stephen finally decided on some he thought were suitable.

(It always makes me laugh to see the random things that he is extremely opinionated about, but I guess when you eat as much cereal as he does, spoon-depth is an extremely important factor.)

And I must say, he made the perfect choice.

Everyday Life

Packrat.

8:49 PM

Sometimes I just can't throw things away. Little things. Like, the ticket stub of when Stephen, Monica, Diana and I went to the midnight showing of Iron Man 2 - in May 2010, or when Stephen and I went on a date to Olive Garden for his 19th birthday, or the time we went to the Hogle Zoo....

Maybe if I only had these three things it wouldn't be so bad...but occasionally I have to go through my wallet and throw a few dozen of these type things away. Now that I know I'll be with Stephen for forever I decided I could part with these ones since I'm sure we'll go to many more midnight showings, Olive Garden dates and Hogle Zoo adventures. :) (...right, Stephen? ;))

Date Night

4:22 PM

Sometimes you need to celebrate. And sometimes celebration calls for key lime pie.

Who knew that simply typing the words, "easy key lime pie recipe" into a google search would change life as I knew it?
