Frame Me Up

Check out these awesome Frames from Delta Girl on Etsy. They come in so many different patterns - I am seriously in LOVE!

Where's the beef?

Let me start this by saying my roommate is a vegetarian and I am not. I have considered it because of the obvious benefits but from my understanding it is pretty difficult to do (and with my lack of self-control, I am sure it would be close to impossible). Anywho, I have found myself looking at more and more vegetarian recipes in order for us to be able to enjoy a meal or two together. Here are some yummy ones I came across on Food Network.

Take the Town

Last night my dad, his girlfriend, my roommate and I all went to explore the wonderful city of Dallas. We decided to make four stops. After our first cocktail at Nana Grill, at the top of the Anatole, we ventured over to Meddlesome Moth for appetizers (and a tasting flight of beer). If that wasn't fun enough, we hit the Dragonfly at Hotel ZaZa next for dinner and topped the night off at Fearings for dessert. Talk about an AMAZING night.

Petland

Sunday morning my pal Jessica and I went on a little adventure to Petland to play with some puppies. They are so freakin expensive but also, so adorable. Below are the two that we played with:

This little Pomeranian was my favorite!

She loved the King Charles blah blah (the name is too long to remember)

Messy No-Bake

I seem to think when I read "No Bake" that it somehow means the recipe will be easy. AHh, not so much. My friend and I decided to make Oreo Balls for a baby shower last weekend and although these were basically the most delicious desserts I have ever had, they were extremely messy to make! If you are still interested in making these delicious Oreo treats...you can find the recipe here.

Sorry we didn't get any pictures during the process but our hands were full!

Delicate

Today on Pinterest, I saw the prettiest little bracelet set and I immediately fell for it. I found that it was from an Etsy shop called Frosted Willow, which has even more of the beautiful handmade bracelets. Here are some of my favorites:
