i just wanted to post to say that i hope all of you hd a wonderful holiday and made wonderful memories this thanksgiving.

here are a couple of pictures:

the turkey:


homemade cheesecake and pumpkin pie martini's:


so thanksgiving was great but then in the middle of the cooking the dinner my family had a hilarious moment. my dad decided to take a nap from 4 to 6 in the midst of all the cooking for the meal. we didn't end up eating the thanksigving meal until 9 at night. i only had a small piece of turkey and the one that i did have, was really dry. i guess this year we bought a different kind and everybody but me loved the turkey. well, my dad and i didn't like it. next year for thanksigving he says that he is going to cook the turkey in a bag.

also, 4 momth old soleil decided to join us for dinner at the table. she did have to go to bed towards the end of the dinner but at least we got to spend time with her. today our guests left to go to the desert. yay, silence. they are coming back on sunday night and then i think they are leaving on monday. i loved seeing soleil but having them here makes the 3 of us so exhausted. soleil is so beautiful and the cutest baby in the world.

goodnight yalll!!

eats.

hi peeps!!

so thursday i went to trader joes and the only things i basically bought was holiday junk food. trader joes has the best holiday junk food EVA!!

case in point:


another point:


chocolate covered peanut butter filled pretzels. OMG, this are amazing!! i wish i could eat the entire bag but 1. that would not be good for my health and 2. they make me sick!! that sucks.

so tonight i had 1 egg and 2 egg whites with oraganic ketchup with 2 16oz. of water. i was not hungry when 8 rolled around and then proceeded to make myself this:

plain chobani yogurt with vanilla sugar and poemgranate seeds:


the yogurt and the seeds is the best combo in the world and i loved every bite!!

and then i had chocolate chip cookies, hot fresh out of the oven:


i have had some amazing eats and wanted to share with you all, i hope you enjoyed. tomorrow my brother and sis in law are coming and i couldn't be more excited!!

new moon. <3

hi hi hi!!

i just wanted to post real quick to tell you how amazing new moon was this early late morning. i went to the 11:30 showing and when i went into the theater to grab my seat there was only 2 other people in the theater. as i waited for the movie to start only about 20 to 30 people came in. 40 people grabbing seats not to be in each other's view was a challenge and it was apparent at how people were spaced in their seats. we were placed in the older building and i was tres disappointed. doesn't new moon deserve to be in the new and better building?? i guess not to amc fullerton.

the movie, r.pat. k.stew. and taylor and the little part dakota fanning had in the movie, was amazing. i don't really want to give the movie away but as i came out of the theater i felt better about myself and the day. the movie made me happy. how many movies make you happy??? not many.



GO SEE NEW MOON!!

osaka.

hello everyone!!

not much has been going on in my life but i have been having some amazing food lately from around the neighborhood. two nights ago we had osaka and it was the bomb. i had ramen with no meat, shrimp yakisoba and some california roll.

tonight for dinner i had a caprese sandwich from cortina's in anaheim and it was ok. saturday my brother, sister-in-law and soleil are coming for thanksgiving. i can't wait!!

babita's and starbizzle.

hi homies!! what's up ya'll??

so saturday i had the priviedge to go to the best mexicuisine resturant in all of so cal called babitas. the traffic to get there was horrendous and i hated every minute of it. me being angry at the classical traffic and at the traffic, i was not a very happy camper. when we did finally get there, we got the best table in the room. this resturant is only 1 room with 10 tables. very exclusive.

dinner started off with guac and chips and salsa. we then all ordered the soupa nueva which was cream of mushroom and butternut squah soup:


second dish for my dinner was sauteed red snapper with pomegranate seeds and sauce:


during dinenr i had the best sangria on the planet. it was sweet and went down very easy. i easily had two glasses:


for the rest of the weekend i relaxed and watched my favorite team USC get trampled by stanford. major bummer. oh and i wanted to mention last night's game between the colts and the patriots. wasn't that the best game ever for the colts? hell yea baby, they won!!!

upland.

hello everyone!!

today was a bit of adventure but i loved every minute of it. my dad and i drove to upland to get some nu yawk pizza today. i'm sorry i didn't take any pictures, but picture in your head new york style pizza with cheese and some italian seasoning. i had two slices. i didn't want to look like a crazy woman taking pitures of my food in a busy restuarant. we then drove to ontario because my dad had some work business to deal with and i stayed in the car occupied on my iphone for 45 minutes. :/ we then headed west towards brea and traffic was horrible. there was an accident and plugging up the entire freeway for miles. you know, traffic in so cal is the worse. we stopped at starbizzle in brea and they had no christmas cups. the drink was fab though. grande latte with 3 shots of eggnog. heaven in a cup.

for dinner i had a tuna sandwich on rye and again no picture. i also had parmensan and garlic natural kettle chips with no cholesterol and no trans fat. they are also fab.

i then went to pinkberry and came across this cow.


and decorated my bed with christmas lights:


today has been so busy and i loved it!! it's the weekend, yay!!

simple eating.

mothers market.

hi hi hi!!

i wanted to start this post off by saying the new pants i bought at the gap fit!! how awesome is that?

soo..

today i went to mothers market and went cray cray. i bought the cutest pair of sunglasses eva!! the only thing i don't like about them, is that they are brown leneses. damn. i went to mothers just to check it out and i found spooky smores bars!! they taste like a chocolate chip cookie. they are so good. i also bought the seasonal clif bars. yummm...my mouth waters just thinking about them.

seasonal clif bars:


hummus:

the pants i bought at the gap:


i am totally in love with both the sunglasses and the pants. i can't believe they fit!!

candy cane lane tea, oh my this is awesome!!

my progress.

hello everyone!!

so i want to make this post about my personal progress since i started reading food blogs. it all started with "heyitstay" and homegirl can eat. on homegirl can eat, i loved how he made the vegetarian lifestlye so easy. now i have been living the vegetarian lifestyle for about 3 months but 2 passionately. i only treat myself to chicken once a week at one meal. i don't have fast food anymore and if i do, i only have something like a quesidilla. and then at jack-in the box, it's the mozzerela sticks. now when i was a child i lived off of bologna sandwiches and now i can't stand any type of deli meat. and now, i can't even stand the idea of going to a fast food restuarant and getting a hamburger. the thought just makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

about 2 months ago i couldn't fit into my pink collegiate collection sweats. when i learned they first came out i bought 2 pairs immediately. i have the first line of UNC AND UCLA sweatpants and now they FIT!! how freakin awesome is that? i mean they emphasize the stomach section but i don't care. i can't believe i can fit my body into them. i love them to death!! and then this past weekend i ordered some pants and a argyle sweater from the gap. i can't believe i am finally moving down the ladder. it's about freakin time. i wasted 5 years getting to my current weight and i hate myself and my medication for making me this overweight. it's a disgusting feeling and i want to prove my medication that i can be slim with the meds and the doctors.

sooooo...

i need to start living the vegeatarian lifestyle. i need to make a promise to myself because i no longer want to be the only lady going into wing stop and ordering wings. i feel so out of place with a place full of guys and i, the only lady there. i need to stop going there because i don't even know how much 8 mild wings are with about 10 french fries is. what is it? like 2000 maybe. how about the fat? gross. now i know i won't be hardcore vegearian because i can't live my life without dairy. i love brie and goat cheese. my dinner tonight was plain sun chips with artichoke and spinach hummus, a mango, and fresh french baguette with truffle goat cheese. it was so good.

on the weight topic, i need to buy a new scale. i KNOW MINE IS WRONG, and i can't stand it. how much are scales? like 50 bucks? does anyone know?

so my point of my post is to become a vegetarian with having fish on occasion. period. end of story.
