Makes It Better
 |
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups make good things even better.
I made brownies similar to Fudgy Nutella Brownies, added some Reese’s Cups, and continued to doctor them up even more. Suffice to say they’re “pretty good”.
Sunshine and blue skies make a Saturday even better.
And so does time with my family, yoga at home…
…and baking.
However, dirty dishes do not make things better. Excuse me while I clean up the baking dishes and then start on dinner. And then the dinner dishes…
It’s a revolving door of dishes, but they were for a very good cause.
What did you do today?
What made your day good? Or better than good?
Enjoy your Saturday night and the football game tomorrow, if you’re watching it. I won’t be, but here are 25 Vegetarian Super Bowl Recipes in case you have any last minute needs.
Today ilk made. Some 5 minute Blondie from a blog I found. Did yoga super early then went for a bike ride! Feeling good!

Dishes are a perfect example of the futility of life! Ha! But luckily we have lots of examples of the beauty in life, too! Those brownies do look “pretty good!” Yum!

I know I’ve said it before, but I really need to learn to love yoga. Today I hit the gym for cardio since I couldn’t get out and run. Then the rest of the day was spent with friends. I call it a good Saturday.

I bet they have great prices on a case or two of Reese’s…not that I ‘need’ a case :)

i love all your sweets that you make but I’m curious.. what do you do with all of them?! You are very healthy and fit looking so I can’t imagine that you are the one polishing off all the brownies ;)

We eat them! I don’t throw away food, ever! My husband, daughter, and I..her friends, his coworkers, my friends, trust me, it all gets eaten. No, I don’t eat a whole pan by myself but I am not shy about my desserts, either!

Ugh. How come there is always a load (or five) of dishes to do? They never end!
Sometimes, though, dishes are well worth it. Like that Reese’s cup creation. Totally worth it.

Had a great day today! made wonderful birthday pancakes for my step-daughter, got pedicures, made birthday cupcakes and had Hibachi Grill for dinner. finally had a day where I wasn’t sitting at home!

I read a quote once that was along the lines of “A clean house is a sign of a boring life…”; it made sense to me. So I say, dirty up those dishes and work that creativity! Yesterday, we created a lo mien dish with chili orange-sauced veggies! It got messy, but it’s always worth it :) Have a great weekend!

I love orange sauce and lo mein. WOW..that sounds impressive and wonderful.

I want you to come over and clean my floors; they never look that good! While you’re at it, my yoga mat needs a good wipe-down, too, since I take it out to the track for boot-camp and never remember to wipe it down.
Boot-camp was excellent; I was full of fire and *almost* able to keep up with the young Coast Guard studs!

Oh those brownies look incredible–I’m sure many of us are anxiously awaiting that post! A good Saturday for me included a productive wt. lifting session, fixing a great dinner, and staying up past my bedtime to see a local band perform.

So try on Reese, a dangerous thing for us to have with my hubby around. :-P My kitchen has been a disaster zone lately too, starting to feel like I’m always doing dishes and loading the dishwasher lately.
We’re going to a friend’s Superbowl gathering, but I’m looking forward to creating and taking raw vegan dips more than the game. :-)

Played tennis for 2 hours this morning. Anything with Reese’s PB Cups is terrific, whatever you made looks heavenly!

I have made the first batch of everything I’m making for the Super Bowl and I already had a full load of dishes. I need to deal with those and then to a second round. Then I actually have to make the rest of the food! It’s definitely a never-ending cycle. But the good food shared with family and friends is totally worth it. Have a great Sunday!

Yoga at home, in spite of being such a simple thing, also makes me really, really happy. Heartwarming post.

And I am so HAPPY for you that you’ve connected with a studio and have yoga friends and a strong community (both on and off the mat) as a result of your practice now in DC.
