breakfast, lunch n lots more....

hola!

This weekend was quite a mellow one for me.
I've been getting horrible headaches.
The ones where it's almost unbearable to have open eyes.
Needless to say I had one all day friday.
It was a little better by the time I got home from work.
My sister came over and we just hung out in my bed all night.
Being silly!
It was a lot of fun and it took the pain away from my head.
Billy had hockey that night and brought us home mcdonalds.
I hadn't had it in a long time...it was delicious. ha!

Saturday I woke up headache free and decided to tackle all the chores around the house.
I cleaned and did laundry for 3-4 hours.
Went to target for a few groceries and by the time I got back home the headache was back.
I ended up sleeping that evening from 6:30-8:30.
Woke up feeling a little better.
Ate a grilled cheese.
Then craweled back into bed.
I had gussy to keep me company all night :)
He is by far the best cuddle bug.
I watched lots of tv that evening...
Came across a show called platinum weddings....wow, is all I have to say to that show!!

Sunday I woke up feeling totally refreshed.
I had plans to meet a friend from college that I hadn't seen in almost 7 years!
We met at TGIFridays and it seemed exactly like old times!!
We chatted forever.
She is getting married in a few months as well!
I can't wait to start seeing her more.
We were those friends that had every single class together.
Ate lunch together every day.
Went shopping every day.
I've missed her!!
Sad we lost touch for so long but I'm glad to have her back in my life.
I think she was just as excited & she was beyond sweet and paid for our lunch!
Now I get to treat her our next time out, I can't wait!

That afternoon I went with my mom and my sister to try on a wedding dress.
I don't have any photos of it but i'm adding it to the list of my top 5 dresses ;)

Sunday night Billy and I went to my parents house for dinner.
Homemade mac n cheese and sloppy joes!!
We watched the grammys and desperate housewives.
I love the grammys!! Great Performances!

Also sunday afternoon I like to prepare my breakfast and lunches for the week...
I saw a receipe on this blog ---> QUITE CONTRARY
(btw, i just recently discovered her blog... love it!)
mini sausage egg and cheese muffins ---> recipe
& I just had to make them!
They are "mini" and i usually eat 3 for breakfast.
They are delish and so simple to make!
For mine I used turkey sausage, fat free cheese and eggbeater egg whites.....very low fat/calories and pretty much no carbs! LOVE THEM!

for my lunches....
seasoned chicken breast....
usually with a small salad and lots of veggies...

Tonight I am meeting a friend at Arichvers.
I don't know if Archivers are located in every state but the store is awesome!!
It is a giant scrapbooking store with all the coolest stuff!
The store has big workrooms with lots of tables that you can use for free.
You check in and they give you a number so if you need extra supplies while working you get the item scanned and then you pay for it at the end when you check out.
We are meeting there after work until store close at 9 and then we are headed to Applebees for 1/2 price apps! num!

I've decided to start today on a different note.
I feel like i've been in a funk for a while.
I have to force myself out of it.
It's a new month and i'm going to make the best out of it.

I'm taking a few days off from posts and I plan on catching up with everyone!!

happy monday everyone!! :)

Those muffins look delish. I wish I were capable of scrapbooking. I've tried, it turns into a big mess. Hope you had fun wedding shopping. Excedrine is great for migraines. have a good week :)

Also, when I was in Detroit visiting S I came across Platinum Weddings too... HOLY CRAP! Can you imagine spending that much on ONE day!? Just insanity!
Have a great week lovely lady :)

Katy Mary said...

Happy Monday! Sounds like a fun weekend (minus the headaches)

Anonymous said...

Yummy food girlie!

Katie said...

I love when you meet an old friend and can just pick up where you left off. Hope those headaches stay away!!!

Hayley said...

You always talk about food! I'm tryin to diet here, girlie (ok, no I'm not.) It's nice to see a girl who loves food but still stays healthy and in shape.

Hope you can get out of your funk. It sucks. Take as long as you need!

Brown Girl said...

Sounds like a great weekend, especially the homemade mac and cheese! Hope your foul mood passes swiftly, if you need to talk you can always email me. ;) xoxo

Lindsey said...

So glad the headache is gone girl! But it sounds like you still had a busy weekend!

Melissa said...

I hope your headaches improve. I finally went to the neurologist about mine today.

Elizabeth Marie said...

Hey love, I was just thinking about you! I miss you too!!!! Love you!

Ahh so sorry about the headaches-you shouldn't have to live like that. :(

Jenni said...

oh that sounds like an awesome weekend! (minus the headache) I've seen that platinum wedding show too and it blows my mind!!! I got so irritated with the ridiculously stuck-up bride last time that I had to turn it off!

Unknown said...

So many things to comment on! Those muffins look A-MAZE-ING! And I'm so glad you got to hang out with your friend! And BOO for your headaches! I hope they stay away. Have a great week!

5th Belle Avenue said...

I hope your headaches go away sooooon!! I make those now EVERY weekend for my Hubby - Quite Contrary's breakfast muffins. He LOVES them and they are SO perfect for when you're on the run. YUM! Hope your week is off to a great start, love!

Caroline said...

You are so good for making all of your breakfasts & lunches for the week ahead of time. Maybe I should try that. Those egg & sausage muffins look delish. :) Yay for a new month!

Micaela said...

beautiful girl, i'm in the same funk. help! lol

i blame it on the winter... and being homesick.

i wish you could come over and cook for me :) this all looks amazing!

Annie said...

Yay for a new month...I hope that it is GREAT.

Isnt it funny that McD's tastes good after not having in forever?!?!

LOVE platinum weddings....a girl can dream, right?!?!? :)

Alissa said...

You know I've been getting some bad headaches too. They're so annoying. I talked to my husband about it and he says that I should drink more water to stay hydrated. I think it's that and stress.

Unknown said...

okay, hold up... mini sausage egg and cheese muffins??? i've never heard of such a thing! nor did i know you could even put such items and make a muffin out of it... AHhh... americans know best.hahaha! ;P

The Undomestic Mom said...

YUM!!!!!

Jordan said...

Aww, I hope your headaches start getting better! When I was a senior in high school I had a migraine for 5 days straight and my mom finally took me to the doctors. She put me on imitrex which made me feel like I was going to pass out but for other people it works. I rarely get a migraine anymore. Headaches yes, migraines no. I hope they go away soon!

Sounds like a nice relaxing week (well besides the headaches)! Love platinum weddings. Wouldn't it be nice if we all could have elaborate weddings like theirs?!

Jane said...

Platinum Weddings is such a crazy show. The money spent is unfathomable! But they are gorgeous!

{andthisiswhatshesaid} said...

Cookies look yummmmmyyyyyyy.

and weddings are so hard, but so fun.

Sierra said...

Happy Monday my love, glad you had a nice weekend and that food looks delicious!

Oh my goodness how fun to meet up with a friend you haven't seen in 7 years - so glad it was easy to pick it up.

Aww, scrap booking stores are the best, so glad you had a blast there too.

I too have been in a funk this week since the convention with my work took a toll on me. Just rest up sweetie, I am sure planning a wedding can be stressful as well.

Have a great week pretty girl, you are the sweetest!

Lori said...

Those headaches sound horrible! I love spending "down time" with my sister!

Some weeks I also feel so ughh (if that's even a word) and I feel like I cannot catch up with "life"! You have more of an excuse than I do, you are planning a wedding!!

Lindsey said...

Sounds like a fun weekend! I love the show Platnum Weddings! It is crazy how much money those people spend.

Lindsey said...

Bless you heart with those headaches!! I HATE it when I get them that bad - they are awful! I sure hope they stay away for a while. And boy is your blog making me hungry! Those mini breakfast muffins look just delish!! Can't wait to see more about the wedding dresses!!! I know you are going to find the perfect one pretty girl! =)

Perpetual Prep said...

Food looks amazing! YUMMY!!! I'm so sorry you are having horrible headaches - I will pray the pain eases - what a horrible feeling!!! Hope you've had a great Monday :)

Perfectly Imperfect said...

K, I suck, but I've been stuck in the land of the sick and just read your post from the other day.. Hope things are going ok girlie and that they're picking up. Thinking about you!

Meg said...

I've been having these headaches also. I think it is because of the pressure changes in the weather. I get these headaches behind my eyes--ouch. I am so glad you have Gussy because Roman Noodle is fantastic at being a headache comforter. :)

I can't wait to see your top 5 dresses!

Debbie said...

Sorry to hear about the headache. I had one a week ago that almost did me in.
The quiche looks great.

fat free cheese?! yea i dunno...i don't trust it but it does look good.

your weekend sounds jampacked and on the go. glad you finally got to hang out with your college friend. i love catching up with old friends that i've lost touch with.

Brittany Ann said...

Those headaches sound like migraines. You should look into getting a prescription for them. They can be debilitating, you poor thing!

Kassie said...

I hate those headaches!! I get them too...you can go to the doctor and get migraine medicine, like Brittany says above. If they: hurt for an extended period, have light and noise make it hurt more, and make you feel sick to your stomach then it could be a migraine!

Juliana said...

Have you tried HEAD ON? I love it!!!

Love Lace said...

Hope your headaches stay away!!! Yay for reuniting with old friends! Can't wait to see your final wedding dress pick!

Anonymous said...

I hate having those all day headaches. Yuck.

Wedding dress pics please!!

Those egg & sausage things look yummy. I am going to have to try them sometime.

christy rose said...

Bummer about your headaches. But it sounds like the rest of your weekend was great!

Selma @ Crazy Little World Of Mine said...

OMG...this looks so delicious my stomach's already making weird noises. Love it. You gave me an idea on what to cook tomorrow or on Thursday. Hmmm...
Hope your headache's gone now...completely. :D

Have a great day hun! :D

meredith said...

mmmm, these look delicious!! i'd have to make them without the cheese, though :( i wonder if they'd still come out okay with just the cheese and turkey sausage? i'll have to try and see...

i HATE headaches. i don't get them often, but when i do i have to be in a dark room and keep my eyes closed.

Sweet Simplicity said...

I need to make those breakfast things!

Children of the 90s said...

Hope you're feeling better! The breakfast looks amazing, I want to try it out. Also, my mom is obsessed with Archivers. She's in a scrapbooking sorority and goes to scrapbook camp weekends. No joke.

Iva Messy said...

OMG looks AMAZING!!! I'm starving lol

Unknown said...

YUM! I should start preparing my meals ahead of time. SMART COOKIE!

Jules said...

I’m sorry you had to deal with headaches this weekend, but glad you were able to take it easy. That is so cute that Gussy cuddled with you. Isn’t it funny how dogs seem to know when something is wrong? I’ve seen Platinum Weddings before and it’s almost depressing when I see the money they’re able to shell out on a wedding.

I’m glad you were able to reconnect with an old friend. That is so wonderful! Homemade mac n cheese and sloppy joes sounds delicious. The Grammys were so good. I still need to catch up on DH. The mini muffins look delish. Thanks for linking to the recipe. I’m definitely going to try that.

I don’t know if we have an Arichvers around here, but it sounds fun!

I hope this is a great month for you, sweetie!!

Ashley said...

Girl, I get really terrible headaches too. What else do you do to make them go away other than sleep? I lay down and it seems to be the only thing that works.

BonBon Rose Girls Kristin said...

I went to visit a college friend who I hadn't seen in 7 years either, funny coincidence, a few months book. It was like we hadn't skipped a beat. That's the thing about true friends. You can always find your way back to each other!

A Real Housewife said...

thanks for sharing the recipe. looks delish!!!

Jax said...

Sounds like you had a great weekend despite that icky headache! Do you get migraines?! THat sounds like what Eric feels like when he gets those.. it's so bad he cant usually see anything. Crazy! Good recipes, love! :)

Kelsey @ Seattle Smith's said...

I saw someone post pics of those same breakfast quiche, and they looks so tasty!! I am having a killer headache right now, maybe that would make me feel better!

Kayla said...

Aw headaches are the worst! I hope they go away soon :)

I miss laying in bed all day with my sisters just talking :( I live half way across the country from them now. Reunions with friends that you haven't seen in a long time are the BEST!! I love the friends where you can just start back up right where you left off.

Sounds like a good weekend minus the headches.

Dionne said...

Ugh! Headaches, what a pain. I am sorry, hun! But I am happy to hear abuot your mini reunion with an old friend - that's awesome!

Unknown said...

I have been addicted to anything wedding since getting married & I drool over platium weddings......I mean really do you need to spend that much money for one day??

Sorry about the headache & love the breakfast idea......going to steal it & see if hubbs likes it!!

Kim said...

Sorry for all those bad headacks you had. Glad to see your feeling somewhat better. Yay to your friend. Those muffins look yummy, I'm def. stealing the recipe! :)

Lindsey said...

You are inspiring me to get off my bum and do something today. Ha! I need to go get started on my laundry.
