The Little Things

It’s the little things in life like…

Bacon Egg Salad Sandwich

Adding bacon to just about anything (like this yummy Egg Salad Sandwich)

Finding the thing you thought you had lost

Getting together with friends you haven’t seen in a while

The TV Show So You Think You Can Dance

Actually having some spare time to sit down and read a magazine (I think I only read one all school year!)

…that make me smile just a little bit brighter!

I hope each and every one of you have a very happy weekend!

Throwback Thursday – Pain in the Butt edition

Sometimes being the baby of the family means that you are loved on and always taken care of. And sometimes being the baby of the family means you are the easiest to mess around with. SO…here are a couple Throwback Thursday pictures of my sisters messing with me.

TBT 1^^The hat says “pain in the butt”!

TBT 2

^^They stuck me in the trashcan and put a bag over my head!

But don’t worry because as I have grown older, bigger, and stronger than I was in these pictures, I have messed with my sisters right back! All out of love, of course.

Dark Chocolate Bark with almonds, coconut, and sea salt

It is yet another recipe from Gwyneth Paltrow’s cookbook (can you tell I am absolutely in love with it??). Another few things I am absolutely in love with are chocolate, almonds, coconut, and salt…and when you put them all together, the taste is rather heavenly. The recipe is so easy that you almost don’t even need one. You simply melt the chocolate, pour it onto the baking sheet, sprinkle your toppings, and put it in the freezer until it cools (about 15 minutes)! It is the perfect recipe if you are in need of little treat last minute. Or to just have lying around the house!
