favorites: vegetarian meals

every time someone finds out that i am a vegetarian they immediately ask me "what do you eat?". i sort of want to respond with "how much meat are you eating that you can't think of one meal that you eat without meat?" but i don't. usually i can't remember anything i eat and i always just answer hummus and guac but of course i eat more than that. i mentioned in my last high five for friday that i fell in love with veggie burgers, so yummy!

so five meatless meals that i love

1. veggie burgers.
i get the morning star brand and i LOVE them. i either eat them like normal with ketchup and a bun or i eat them with guac and salsa. both ways are delish and filling!

2. mexican
making mexican at home is really easy, for lunch this summer i almost always had a cheese quesadilla - not super healthy but quick and simple. moes and taco bell are also great for quick or on the go, the art vandaley at moes is so filling i have to get the jr. size and most of the time i can't even finish that.

3. spaghetti
i always have and always will love spaghetti

4. veggie stew
this is perfect for the colder months, my roommate makes it so i'm not for sure the specifics but i'm pretty sure that it's just vegetable broth with what ever veggies you have on hand and make some cornbread with it and it's so good!

5. sushi
i'm still not much of a "sushier" but i am getting better at it, the people i babysit for told me how to make veggie sushi so maybe if the wholefoods here hurrys up and opens i will be able to make it and try it out on my own!

my mom sent me back to school with a crock pot vegetarian cookbook so i am looking forward to trying some of those recipes out! i'm not a 100% vegetarian, one of my friends calls me a liberal vegetarian because i will eat meat if i have to or at ichiban because their chicken box is to die for but if i have the choice i would rather stick to non-meat meals so it's been fun finding new and east meals to eat!

do you have any favorite non-meat meals? i would love to hear - comment below with your favorites!!

it's a party in the usa

so i went to the miley concert about two weeks ago and it was one of the best concerts i've been to in my life, the other best concert being last time i saw miley on tour. i took my favorite kristin with me and we went for "round 2" birthday celebration. i call this "round 2" because these tickets were a 21st birthday present from my wonderful parents and we were supposed to go in april, however, we were the first of her many cancelled tour dates so it was a kinda really bad plane ride back to tuscaloosa but besides that part, the rest of that weekend was fun!

but back to this visit, it was for sure worth the wait! she even fessed up and admitted that she wasn't sick when she cancelled on us last time and i think that it was just mature of her in general to admit she messed up. her opening act was lily allen, kristin and i listened to some of her songs the night before the concert and we didn't really care for her - but after that night i am obsessed. she was so cute and performed so well live, like she sounds better live than on her tracks.

miley, of course, is one of the best performers i know, people question why i like her and all i say to them is that yeah she's a little crazy and a wack job but you can't say she's not a good performer, she really knows how to entertain; and entertain she did that night. so enough with the blabbing... here's some pictures from one of the bests nights of my life.

thanks mom and dad!!

and shout out to kristin for making me try salmon for the first time!

good ol' days

it got me thinking (on my last first day of school), this time in a year i will be a college graduate. wait what?! like hopefully i will have a big girl job, and a big girl apartment, and all the big girl duties that come along with those two things. i just can't believe that my time of being a college student are closing in, and closing in fast! i'm looking forward to this year of my lasts but i'm also looking forward to the next year of firsts. i'm not wishing away my senior year by any means but i am looking forward to the new chapter that's happening in a year. so i'm glad to say that i'm pretty sure i know that i am in the good ol' days and that i am not going to take this last year for granted!

happy friday! can you believe it's already august?! just 20 more days until i have to be back in alabama :)/:( and as my brother said this morning, "can you smell that? ... smells like football!"

i'm linking up with lauren for high five for friday!

1. my mother, sister, and some family friends all went to a smokies baseball game last friday. it was perfect weather (68 degrees) and we had season ticket holders sitting next to us and keeping us all entertained

2. drumsticks, they make summer better. i may or may not be eating one everyday for my afternoon snack

3. we watched some home videos earlier this week, mainly to see muffin as a little kitten but the other footage was entertaining, too!

4. muffin got his feeding tub out yesterday! now i just have to stop being paranoid about the hole in the side of his neck. sorry to be graphic but i don't want to be the only one grossed out ;)

5. and last but not least... in less than a week me and kristin will be standing in the same room as miley cyrus!! YAY!!

happy friday and happy august, i hope everyone has a great weekend!!
