taco salad! lettuce, tomato, olives, refried beans, cheese, tortilla chips, dressing!
no-bake protein bars! ryan and i both LOVE these!!
veggie "which-wich" sub and homemade red mashed p'taters :->
oats.
I was a little iffy the first time I saw this in blogland but I just HAD to try it! You do too. IF you like oats and IF you like peanut butter and IF YOU LOVE THEM TOGETHER, try O.I.A.J.!!! Wait until you have a mostly empty pb jar. Whip up some oatmeal, stove-top or microwave, really doesn't matter. Pour the oats in the jar. Mix the pb in, leave it for last...be crazy. It's crazy good!
This morning's recipe was: 1/3 c. old fashioned oats cooked in 1/3 c. milk, 1/3c. water, capful of vanilla, lotsa shakes of cinnamon, and raisins. + agave!...into the pb jar. oh yeah.
Lunch was the following at my desk:
veggies + rice blend + roasted red pepper soup. good and filling. and followed by a no-bake bar soon after :>
Ok enough of the food. Let's get to the good stuff. I got a new phone! Ryan and I had been thinking about getting Iphones or Blackberrys and had gone to the AT&T store to see if we were due for an upgrade. I was! But Ryan has to wait till May :/ Anyyhoo, after a little research and talking to my phone loving co-worker I decided I wanted a Samsung Solstice. And that's what I got!! The good news is the AT&T store was selling it for $50.00 after a $50.00 rebate. Being my mother's daughter though, I headed to Wal-mart to see if I could snag a better deal. Soo glad I did because I got the phone I wanted for FREE! I played with it all last night and really do like it! It's a touch phone which is new to me and I can also use the internet easily. In fact I checked my blog last night from bed.! This could be bad... ;) These pics aren't that great so I apologize.
yay for technology.!
I also got a few other new things today...1 book, 2 shirts, and some earrings. I think I'm getting Spring Fever. And I have b-day money coming I believe :) Plus, I have really been wanting a new book to read! Rockwall's new HALF PRICE BOOKS can't get here fast enough for me!!!
(per the back cover) this book is about 4 young wives in the late 1960's who begin to discover their love for writing!
pretty Spring colors!!!
Ok friends, I'm wrappin this up. Ryan should be home any minute and I need to go put up the anniversary gift I bought him today! One more week!!
So...do you like to read? What are your favorite kinds of books? Favorite authors? Can you stay up all night reading, engrossed in a story or did you swear off all books after high school/college?
I plan to do a separate post on my favorite books later!
I'm gonna start "The Wednesday Sisters" tonight! And nice. Today IS Wednesday :>

I love that PB jar idea! And your veggie-wiches look great!I'm more of a bookworm than I can even put into words (as ironic as that may be). Hmm, there was the school year where I read 23,000 minutes, which was 22,000 minutes over the required amount...there was the summer when I was younger when I read 365 books in less than 3 months...there was the fact that as a child (up till about high school) I voluntarily set my alarm and woke up at 5:15am every day so that I could get in an hour and a half of reading before school...I could go on, but I think my extreme nerdiness has been well-established :P
That book is really good. :) I bet you'll like it :)
I just did the "in a jar" thing for the first time with quinoa mousse and an almost empty peanut butter jar! So good! As for books, I am currently reading "My Life In France" by Julia Child. It's really good!
Gosh, Amber, that's awesome! ha ha. Setting your alarm to get up early and read...that IS dedication!
Hehe, yeah...so do you usually read modern/newer books, or do you like the classics too?
Your food looks YUMMY! Okay, and I want to read that book. Let me know how it is. :)
