linking up with jenna and anne today for a fun "currently" post.
cooking : i've been making lots of non-lettuce salads lately. i mix up red peppers, avocados, chickpeas, black beans, water chestnuts, carrots, sun-dried tomatoes, sesame seeds, baked chicken and season it up with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and sesame oil. it is the best tasting salad around! super healthy but very filling and energizing.
reading : two books are currently on my night stand. in the grip of grace by max lucado and the ghost at the table by suzanne berne
wearing : jean shorts and button downs with my yellow strappy sandals. i am loving this easy combination. it's so comfortable and super cute to boot. can't beat it.
loving : this gorgeous spring weather! north carolina summers have a bad reputation for being muggy city, so i am trying to take advantage of the cool mornings and warm afternoons before the humidity hits us.
anticipating : beach trips this summer. i can't wait to play in the waves and set up my beach chair in the sand and catch some rays. my dad gave me his old surfboard a few months ago, so i really want to get that thing in the water and give it a go! i think i'll probably end up just getting pummeled by the waves, but i'm determined to catch at least one good ride.
head over to their link-ups here and here to see what other fellows bloggers are "currently" digging!
your salads sounds amazing!
ReplyDeletei wish we were having gorgeous spring mornings here! (i'm in SC) it's been ovr 90 for a few days and humidity to match. BLEH.
i'm with you, beach trips are where it is at!
great list!
i'm glad you can commiserate with me about how humid and suffocating summers in the south are! good grief. i need to walk around with a personal AC unit. at least when you're at the beach there's a hug body of water to dive into and escape the heat. thanks for stopping by! :-)
DeleteOhh I can't wait for beach trips too. How fun to try out a new-to-you surfboard! Thanks for linking up with us!
ReplyDeleteyeah i'm pretty stoked! i'm anticipating sand in places i didn't know existed on my body. ;-) thanks for hosting! love stuff like this.
DeleteThose salads you've been whipping up sound incredible! I love salads but I find they don't seem to keep me full long enough unless it's part of a meal. I'll have to try some of the things you've been making! Great to see what you've been up to currently from the link up :)
ReplyDeleteoh they are tasty for sure. i think i like them so much because i add whatever is in my fridge/pantry at the moment and it just makes it taste better! i saw the nc blogger event you're hosting on your blog. heading over to check out more of the details! thanks for stopping by. :-)
DeleteI'm stopping by for the link up!
ReplyDeleteThose non lettuce salads sound interesting! Enjoy your NC weather!!! All of my family lives in SC and GA and I always wish I was still there! :) As for the beach trips - those are the best!
the south is a great place, but the summers kill me! at least you're guaranteed to get a good tan. :-) did you used to live in the south? you must try the non-lettuce salads. just add whatever you have in your fridge and voila-a delicious meal! thanks for stopping by!
DeleteOhhh, I'm really anticipating summer vacays, too! I wish I was at the beach right now! The non-lettuce salad sounds delish!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up, Lacey!
the countdown has begun for beach trips. can't wait! thanks for hosting. i always love fun link-ups like this!
DeleteYour outfit sounds SUPER cute and comfy. I love this weather just for that reason :) A beach trip sounds amazing. And you'll get surfing, and even if you get pummeled a lot, the tan will be worth it. Glad to have found you through Anne's linkup! ~Jenna // A Mama Collective
ReplyDeletehaha. the tan WILL be worth it! i like the way you think. :-) and yeah, that outfit is the best of everything! i'm very into feeling good and comfortable in my clothes. if i'm wearing something that i have to keep fidgeting with, it's not happening. keep it simple. thanks for stopping by!
DeleteBeach trips! Yay! Beach trips are my favorite especially when they are quiet beaches!
ReplyDeleteyes. quiet beaches are awesome. but if i do go to a busy beach, the people watching never disappoints. ;-)
DeleteI love the idea of non-lettuce salads, I have to remember to do that more often! Washing lettuce is one of my least favorite things anyway. :)
ReplyDeletewashing lettuce is a cruel and unusual punishment! agree completely. haha. :-)
DeleteBeach trips are THE best and pretty much my definition of summer. And surfing sounds like fun! I hope you get a chance to go soon!
ReplyDeleteAlso, that outfit sounds perfect for spring/summer weather. I just got a chambray shirt this past year and have been pinning all these cute outfits of girls wearing chambray + shorts. I can't wait to try it out this summer!
chambray shirts go with everything! they are so versatile. i owned one for a while, but then i felt like it had no shape so i'm on the hunt for a new one. maybe one with a little more structure. i miss having one that i can pair with so many things! where did you get yours? will you be getting to the beach this summer?
