Day 2 | Good Food With A Twist

Hmm….should I start blogging about food? Not to toot my own horn, but I have been known to cook some pretty awesome foods. I think I am going to start sharing some of my creations here. Sometimes I follow a recipe, sometimes I don't. I have been doing this whole 'eat at home' thing, and its mostly successful. I just have to work on eating more healthy. Which I do for the most part, but…I know can do better.

The first dish is pretty simple. Cucumber and tomato salad. With a bit of red wine vinegar. Simple. Easy. Good. You really can't get any better than that.

The second dish is a concoction I made with what I had in the house. Its a bison chili with red and black beans, corn, among other things. First time ever having bison and I must say, it is delicious!!! I am just over eating chicken and beef. Especially after my trip to El Salvador where I got to taste the real thing without all the extra fillers that are added to our meats here in the states.

Cucumber and tomato salad

Homemade bison chili--super yum!

Day 1 | My sunshine

My dog Ruby loves me unconditionally. She always knows when I am down, when I am happy. She is my very special girl. Her silliness and intelligence is definitely one of a kind.

“Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace.” 
― Milan Kundera

A Few Updates!!!

I made the Dean's List again.

I recently came back from a work trip to El Salvador and it was an amazing trip, but I came back sick as a dog. More pics on that later when I start feeling better :)

I am going to Texas for 2 months starting next month and then start my final semester of school for my BA in psychology.

I won 3rd place in the research competition at my college. I was pretty happy about that win because the 1st and 2nd place winners were groups, while I was solo. So technically I won first place…right???

Okay, more later when I am feeling better, but here are some photos from a trip into the San Salvador area of El Salvador!
