It's been a while since I've done one of these posts and I've been trying to snap photos of meals over the past three months or so to give you a rounded idea of what I eat.  I love seeing these types of posts from others, so here we go...

I'm not one to eat in the food court at the mall but Marco somehow twisted my arm a couple months ago and I have to say this General Tao chicken and noodles were delicious (and a bit of a guilty pleasure).


I hadn't made a tortilla soup in years so I tried this recipe which turned out great (I cheated and used a BBQ chicken from he grocery store).  I happened to have tortilla shells on hand that needed to be used up, so I cut them into strips and fried them for a more authentic taste and treat.

More food after the jump...
 
If there is one thing I am not, it's organized.  I try to keep it together, but it's definitely something I work at on the daily. 
 
That said, although I'm not one to actively plan things in advance, over the past few years I've noticed ...

Hi ladies!  Today I'm sharing with you this pretty pulled apart fishtail braid.  You can leave it out or pull it back for a half-undo look.  

I have been loving braids and fishtails lately and while they take a minute to get the hang of, practice makes perfect (and the look is a little undone and messy anyway!).

If you'd like to see how I created this look, click below for the video...
MPG tank (love this one) & leggings (similar)

Saturday morning Marco and I kicked off the day by hitting the gym (before all the indulgences that come along with Valentine's Day, of course!).  Braid tutorial here.


I always whip up these two-ingredient pancakes (with a scoop of protein added; I've been using chocolate-peanut-butter because it's all I have and it's surprisingly fine) before a weekend workout or snowboarding.  I'm not someone who can workout without breakfast--or do much for that matter.  These take under 10 minutes to whip up, are filling and healthy.

 More after the jump...

I know I said despite loving to celebrate Valentine's Day I'm not a big gift exchanger, but if someone was looking for ideas, these would be at the top of my list (and maybe yours too?).  

I thought I would put together a variety of things I have my eye on currently and share in case your significant other is still looking for ideas of if you just wanted some cool ideas to treat yo'self with!
