Gut essen!

I haven't posted in awhile because I have been busy subbing which I am happy about! I have been getting called in a lot to sub and the teachers have been getting to know me at a few of the schools in the area so that is really great! Yay!

This weekend was nice and relaxing we had some friends over for dinner and I made german food! Yum! We watched Transformers The Dark of the Moon, it was a pretty good movie but I think the 1st one was the best.

Our German meal! Pork Schnitzel, Cheese Spaetzle, and Sauerkraut

The spaetzle was already made noodles from Aldi! It was very good with Swiss cheese and browned onions on top! Yum! I will be buying this again!

And for dessert a perfert duo for lower cal. brownies with some good nutrition too! :)

What an amazing idea! These really taste good together and you don't add anything else just cake mix and pumpkin and mix together!

Each good size muffin is only 181 calories! :) and tastes like pumpkin brownies! I want to try this with yellow cake or spice cake next!

Last weekend was the PSU vs. Perdue game! It was a great weekend a bit cold and windy but nothing we couldn't handle for tailgating! :) We also went to see the homecoming parade! and PSU won! :)

hanging with friends waiting for the parade to start

after the parade we went to dinner, I forgot to take a picture of my food...I was to hungry so I just wanted to eat! but I had the best beer ever...Creme Brulee Beer! It was crazy how much it tasted like creme brulee! SO GOOD!

PSU marching band!

Cheese!

I always love to visit Happy Valley! :) We will be back again soon!

Feeling better :)

Today I woke up feeling a bit better I think I will still need some NyQuil to help me sleep because of my stuffy nose but other than that I feel much better.

For Breakfast my toasted oatmeal with a dallop of Fage 0% with honey and chia seeds. I decided I will not eat it like this again because my oats were warm and it made the yogurt warm...bleh. Nice time I can try it with cold oats...might like that better. But it wasn't too bad.

I just love oats for breakfast!

I had Dutchess Grey Tea from Trader Joes! It is a lovely take on earl grey. :)

Today was the Trikathon (kids bring trikes to ride to raise money for St. Judes Hospital) at work, and I hurt finger catching a child from falling. I bent back my nail to the quick...ouch!!!! IT was bleeding and hurt pretty bad. But I got off work early after the trikathon and take down of all the racing flags. I got to leave at 12 pm. I went and met Justin for lunch at Panera we packed our lunches but I bought us both frozen mocha's for a surprise! :) I went to go get lettuce for tonight's dinner, and some Miracle Whip! Then I came home called some people about getting on the sub list and requirements. Then I took a nap, that is the best thing to do when you are sick. I felt much better.

For dinner I made BLTs I love them! It was fast easy and a nice and light dinner.

so yummy!! and hardly any dishes to clean up!

Justin had a Great Lakes Imperial Red Ale I tasted it and it was too bitter for me. I had a Sam Adams Octoberfest which is right up my alley! Lots of body and tastiness!

Season primer of CSI is on tonight! I am going to go watch! Then it is off to bed!

Weekend Delight

We had a wonderful weekend with my parents back in Maryland. It was great to see them again and get to spend some quality time. Friday night Justin and I got in too late to have dinner around 8:30 pm, so we stopped on our way at the Hagerstown Outlets, we got a slice of pizza at the food court and the went to the Underarmour store! They had some great deals, Justin got 2 shirts and I got 3! I am going to wear one tomorrow for my jogging! We got home and showed my parents the wedding photos on the big screen TV. I was pretty cool to see them so big! Then it was bed time.

Saturday morning we got up and my Mom made us cheesy omelets with asiago rolls from the bakery! I didn't get to take any pictures though because my camera died and I forgot to bring the charger...fail. We lounged around for awhile and then got dressed and went to Bloomingdale's to complete our registry for our china! WE had a 20% off coupon and we were going to get maybe 3 more sets of our china pattern. (It is Alana by Waterford, so elegant) But it turned out if we signed up for a Bloomies card then we would get an extra 20% off on top of the other 20% and have free shipping! So we just went ahead and got the rest of our china! It was a really great deal. I cannot wait to use it!

After Bloomies and a few other stores we went to P.F. Chang's for lunch! I love their lettuce wraps. This is when I wished my camera had not died so I could have taken pictures. We got the chicken lettuce wraps to share and Mongolian beef and crispy honey shrimp to share for our entrees. For dessert the banana spring rolls with pinapple coconut ice cream! So Amazing!

We went to Trader Joe's to pick up a few things to bring back to WV, because we dont have one here. :(
Then back home to watch the PSU vs. Alabama game. PSU was doing great in the very beginning and then it was a tough game from there, needless to say PSU lost :( boo.

It was still a great weekend! Today we went to church then we took my parents to an amazing sushi place called Rolls n' Rice for lunch/dinner! After that we packed up the car and it was time to come back home. Now, I am relaxing, posting this entry, and enjoying a Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin Ale! Hopefully pictures tomorrow, I need to charge my camera!

New Eats!

Well since moving in with Justin after our wedding we have been loving cooking together, hiking, and just being able to be with each other longer than the weekends.

I have been job searching all week but I am starting to get some phone calls back. I had to turn one daycare down because the pay was just not enough, so I have an interview tomorrow and I really liked the school when I went to visit so we will see how it goes! Hopefully they have a full time position that is payed a little better than minimum wage, since I do have a degree and I am a certified teacher.

We got some great wedding gifts and one that we have been using a ton is our Panini press! We love it not to mention love sandwiches, I basically only like to eat sandwiches when they are toasted or at least the bread is toasted...except for PB&J of course. So I wanted to  share some meals that we have been having the last 2 weeks. I am so terrible about posting everyday. I don't know how bloggers do it, some even post more than twice a day!

This was our first meal in our apartment together!

Close up! We had chicken, asparagus grilled in the grill pan with parmesan, and tomato, basil, mozzarella with balsamic! Our favorite bread Semolina Batard and Vino!

Here is our panini press! LOVE!

Tomato, basil and parmesan I think maybe with some sliced turkey.

delicious lunch!

I have more some more panini pictures we just can't get enough! I am going to look up some recipes online to make more! It is such an easy dinner or lunch too.

Spinach, Turkey, Tomato with Sun dried tomato pesto, and some laughing cow light cheese wedge (Love that cheese I am obsessed!) all of this on and Everthing BagelThin. Bagel thins are great I prefer them over regular sandwich bread.

with a Sierra Nevada Tumbler, which I believe is their fall seasonal...or one of them. A bit early for fall beer but it was very tasty!

That is all for now! I will have to blog about my interview and share some pictures of tonight's dinner, I am planning Burrito night! It should be yummy.
