In My Free Time

Graduation is one week from today. I cannot believe it! I have one last final on Tuesday and then I am official done with my undergraduate classes. Talk about crazy! I haven't been able to keep my mind from wandering to the question of what am I going to do with all this free time over the next couple months. Relaxing is definitely the top of the list! I also have a list made of shows I either need to catch up on or have been wanting to start..Netflix here I come! As I was thinking further I also remembered all of the recipes I have pinned on Pinterest throughout the years, but have never made. Since I will be the one who has the majority of days and nights free while my parents are working and brother is studying I want to take it upon myself to prepare food and finally put those recipes to use!


I decided to go take a scroll through Pinterest and make a "bucket list" of sorts from the recipes I have pinned. When I was doing so, I instantly thought of the blog and how it could make for a really fun post to share with you all; hoping you will discover a few recipes you want to give a go, too!

Here are the are the ones that made the cut!

Now I am not going to lie, getting through this post was highly difficult as looking through all of it was making me sooo hungry! Although I am not a huge cook, I'm more the of the baking type, I cannot wait to try some of these out over time. As I do, I will be sure to post the process along with pictures! 


Lastly, today's post would not be complete with out giving a Happy Birthday shout out to my daddio!<3

but instead picks you up, brushes you off and let's you try again." 

My dad on his first birthday! We're not sure why he's such a grump gills in the photo! LOL

Questions of the Day:
1) Do you have a bucket list of recipes?
2) Which on these lists were most appealing?
3) What is your favorite recipe to make?

  1. I've made those PB&J wraps, but I usually put in chocolate granola since I'm a chocoholic lol. They are really good! That cajun chicken alfredo looks great too. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

    1. We are still in the process of enjoying it! :) I get confused on the time zones as well so no worries there! I had some stuff to do for school in the afternoon so I had to miss a little time with him, but we have the whole night ahead! (He was so great for understanding!).
