Blue Apron week 4 meal 1: tortilla soup

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Happy Sunday!!!!

Oh man! This meal was delicious!!!!!

image

image

I enjoyed a little coffee while drinking it

image

My theraflu tea was putting me to sleep.

image

I love that it had me toast my own tortilla chips, it was super easy but took the meal to the next level.

image

image

I added a can of kidney beans to it for a little more protien and body.

image

I also added more cheese lol.

Once again i got about 4 meals out of this instead of 2, which makes me happy happy happy!!!

And in my box i ended up with an extra avocado and an extra bag of cilantro which worked out perfectly since i had extra soup.

Still drinking lots of tea and using essential oils to try and kick this cold. 

What did you cook this weekend?

A satisfying Saturday

Hi everyone!!!!

I didn’t post yesterday because nothing I could say was more important than the horrible attacks on Paris. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in Paris and the world.

On a much happier note, I got my doggie!!!!

We have just spent the day relaxing and hanging on the couch together. We want on a short walk together. Wow has it been a long time since i walked a dog in the city hahaha. I loved in the country for 10 years and walking the family dog was so chill. In the city i am watching her and the traffic and other people. Hopefully soon we’ll hit some running trails together.

How was your Saturday?

Thursday Thoughts

Tomorrow is Friday!!!!!! So stoked! It has been a bit of a hellish week for me so i cannot wait for the weekend.

image

I don’t have a problem at all …lol actually one is coffee and one is tea. The white one is one of those reusable ones you can buy for a buck or two. 

image

This that time of year that sickness is going around so i am oiling up!!!

image

My unhappy face while dealing with all the BS that comes with buying a new car from a dealership that is incompetent!!! Gresham Ford has horrible customer service. I will never buy a car there again!

image

One of the very few silver linings was that one of the very few del tacos around here, was right around the corner!

After work i met my roommate and my new dogs current mom for dinner so she could tell me about the dog and get  to know me a little.

I get my baby on Saturday!!!!

I may have already hit petco……:mrgreen:

Do you have any pets? Any advice?

Blue Apron week 3 meal 3

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Wednesday!!!!! We are halfway through the week. Celebrate!!!!

Last night i went over to my friend’s for dinner and girl talk. Ate pizza and drank soda and felt sooooo bloated afterwards. I always overeat when it comes to pizza, i just love it sooo much!!!!

When i got home i did 40 minutes of spanish lessons. El tiene gato. El gato es blanco. Lol

Then i made my last blue apron meal from last wednesday to take for lunch. It made 3 servings. LOVE when i get extra servings.

image

image

My photos are a little shotty from last night lol.

image

I have a set of 10 glass nesting bowls that all stack in each other and are sooo nice, but there is no room in the kitchen that i share with my roommates. Nor do i want to risk them getting broken so i use tupperware. Also there is NO counter space.

I cannot wait to have a house a an amazing kitchen!!!! Sadly that is probably a ways away. Well enjoy the rest of your wednesday!

What are you cooking up?

Blue Apron week 3 meal 2

image

I had never made anything tempura before. I’ve eaten and love tempura but have never made it.

And i was definitely skeptical about acorn squash tacos.

image

image

Yea, our counters are a little messy.

image

The prep work wasn’t too bad except for the squash which was a pain. Also i had way more onion and way more squash than i needed.

image

While cooking i enjoyed some pink lemonade emergen-c cause i have been feeling a little funky.

image

image

I’ve also never really fried anything so that was interesting. It was a lot easier than i thought. I may have to try some fried chicken soon.

image

The finished product……and the consensus is that these tacos are actually pretty freaking amazing!!!!

image

The other meditation cd i got. I want to do a meditation to find my spirit animal.

image

Also apperently this is how my name is spelled, except that on the drinks for roommates they girl put AR……hmmmm.

How was your weekend?

What was the best thing you did?

TGIF!!!!!!!

Hi!!!! The weekend has arrived!!!

image

It was a long day, i broke down and got skittles, this is how i eat them. A small handful at a time and i sort each handful by color/flavor.

When i got home i did a bit of spanish.

image

image

I got some amazon deliveries.

image

I am listening to this right now while i read. It is natural sounds like the ocean, a steady rain, birds in the rainforest etc.

image

I got these for meditations but they are also just super peaceful.

image

Got this for my studying.

image

And this is what i am currently reading so look for a book review on it in a few weeks.

I know, it sounds like a seriously exciting night? How do i keep up with this hard partying at my age, well years of practice lol.

I have decided that i will adopt mama (the dog). My roommate has conveyed this to the owner and now we wait. But she now feels like my fur baby and i want her with me asap!!!! I will keep too posted.

What did your Friday night consist of?

Workouts?

Ooooooh i am stoked i made my first post surgery training appt!!!! Monday November 16th i will be working out upper body. I can’t wait!!!!

And i cant wait until mama and i can get out and do some runs/walks together!

Blue Apron week 3 meal 1 and big decisions

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Happy Thursday and its almost the weekend!!!

image

image

Tonight i came home and did lesson 1 part 1 of rosetta stone Spanish then made my dinner.

image

I added some extra spiral noodles and a little bit of extra bottled pasta sauce that i had left in the fridge.

image

image

This meal was actually pretty easy to make and made a ton!!! Though its really light which is nice.

image

Oh i also added a little string cheese hahahahaha.
I ate a full helping, have lunch for tomorrrow and a lunch this weekend and still put 2 helpings worth in the freezer.  Woot woot 5 meals out of this dish.

After dinner i did lesson 1 part 2 or rosetta stone spanish.

So big decision…….remember that house guest we had that stole my heart, the black dog. Her owner needs a new home for her and has asked if i would like to adopt her.

I love animals and growing up my house always had pets but they were family pets and my parents always paid for everything this would be my first real pet that was completely my responsibility, though our house already has a dog, my roommates, so it wouldn’t be too big of a change. And we all help out and take the dogs out when we get home and such but she would be my dog and my responsibility. This animals well being would be my responsibility…..that is a huge undertaking and should not be entered into lightly.

On top of that this poor dog was severely misstreated for the first 2 years of her life before her current owner got her from the humane society so she is kind of skittish. But she is the sweetest thing ever…….and who are we kidding she has already stolen my heart……I believe i am getting a dog.

Any advice?
