Key Lime Pie

Today has been another super busy day, but first lets back up to yesterday! Right after posting I made a delicious roast beef grilled cheese. It had roast beef (of course), munster, garlic and herb cheddar, and campari tomatoes all on soft oatmeal bread. yummm
And I had the last chocolate chip cookie for dessert.

Then I made myself some spiced tea because I was really not feeling that great.
I was feeling a little better after my spiced tea so I decided to frost the rest of the cupcakes. I whipped of some chocolate buttercream frosting. I honestly don't even remember what recipe or combos of recipes I used, I was feeling a little better but still not great! It was probably the recipe on the back of the hershey cocoa box! Note the frosting on the front left cupcakes, somehow there was a hole in the side of my bag and after frosting one cupcake I noticed the one next to it looked like that. haha its kind of fun I like it, maybe I'll do some cupcakes like that on purpose later!

Then for dinner we cleaned out the fridge and had leftovers, I had some cous cous and bbq.
And pears on the side.
Then I worked on cleaning my room until bed, I finally have my desk cleared off and my dad is going to put up my shelves tonight! yay!

This morning I had a delicious not so Green Monster! It was some vanilla chobini, a splash of milk (because the greek yogurt is too thick and my mom had no more thin yogurt), a banana, two cups of spinach, and about 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries. It was delicious!
Yesterday I soaked some almonds, so one of the first things I did today was make some of Ani Phyo's Raw Donut Holes! Delicious of course, if you haven't tried making these yet then I highly recommend it! I was able to get my hands on some organic no preservative pineapples and dates and it made a huge difference! They mushed up together and rolled together perfectly!

Then after I finished those it was lunch time, there was not much to eat so I had an Annie Chun's Peanut Noodle Bowl.
Then my mom and I went to Wegman's to get stuff for tomorrow! My aunt, uncle, and cousin are coming in town for my sister's graduation and tomorrow we are having a birthday party for my grandpa/ very belated mother's day. (and possibly father's day and my grandma's birthday but I'm really not sure about that!) Anyways while at Wegman's I got some food from the hot bar to bring home and eat for dinner later. The delicious shrimp that my sister and I usually get, some eggplant thing, and a shrimp roll.
When we got home I made a key lime pie for my grandpa. I squeezed a bazillion key limes by hand so this better be delicious! Tomorrow I'm going to put whipping cream and some lime slices on top and make it all pretty!
Now that the pie is done, I have a cake baking in the oven and I'm eating my delicious Wegman's food! I'm going to frost my cake tonight and cover it in fondant and then depending on how much time I have I'll either decorate it tonight or tomorrow. I'm pretty excited because I'm making fondant for the first time so we will see how it turns out!

Strawberry Popsicle

So yesterday I decided I really wanted to try slow roasting tomatoes. I found several websites that said put them in the oven between 200 and 250 for 9-12 hours. But after only 4 hours my tomatoes looked like this
I guess I need to use bigger tomatoes next time. Oh well, they weren't awful but they definitely weren't roasted tomatoes. They almost tasted like sundried tomatoes so I kept them to use randomly.

Anyways after my roasted tomato mishap I planted some basil and parsley! I can't wait for them to grow! Hopefully next week they will have little sprouts!

When my mom came home she made some ravioli. I wasn't very hungry and she had put meat in the sauce so I tried to grab a couple and use the spoon to get a little sauce without meat in it. It was nothing spectacular. However the veggies on the side were fabulous, zucchini and mushrooms- two of my favorite veggies!
After diner I took my dog on a walk. I wish it weren't so hot outside because I really wanted to go running but it was entirely too hot outside. When we got back we had a strawberry popsicle for dessert! yumm
Then I read for a while before bed. This morning I woke up and had a Kashi waffle with vanilla chobini and strawberries. It was delicious as usual
Then I laid out by the pool for a while trying to soak up some sun before the storms came! I came in for lunch and made a sandwich. I took some leftover roast from the other night and topped it with some very tiny leftover amount of smoked cheddar but mostly a mexican cheese blend because we have no other cheese. I chopped up a few of the burned roasted tomatoes and mixed them in with a little mayo and added some minced garlic. I put all of it on some soft oatmeal bread and it was pretty delicious, only thing that could have made it better would be some better cheese.
Then I went shopping for some dresses for all of my sister's upcoming graduation festivities and a couple weddings I'm going to later in the summer. I ended up with 2 dresses, one of which is my "teacher dress" that I can wear to student teaching and a pair of shoes for $44. I love Ross! Shopping makes you hungry so I came home and made a Green monster
This was almost the best Green Monster yet (if we had orange juice it would have been even better!) It was the normal banana and spinach, vanilla yogurt, and. . .
. . . a strawberry popsicle instead of ice! It was pretty much amazing!
