I figured it was about time to share a recipe for a weekly staple in the Ringer household. Fajitas. Steak fajita bowls, to be exact. Eric told me recently that this is his new favorite meal, which is great because it’s super easy and is a great way to get some veggies into our bellies….
strawberry parfait.
I apologize for the lack of posts. Even though I’m finished with school, the rest of life has gotten increasingly busy. But we have eaten a ton of awesome meals this week, most of which we will be eating again next week so that I can photograph and blog about them! And hopefully the sun…
a very kentucky weekend.
What a weekend! The Kentucky Derby, UK graduation, and Mother’s Day. Wow. We’ll begin with Saturday. Eric and I always try to sleep in on Saturdays. This usually results in us waking up at 7. Woo. So we headed to Magee’s, bright and early, where we ordered the usual from the usual woman, who, as…
black bean and corn salsa.
This is my first post as a college graduate. Okay, so I haven’t technically graduated yet (that happens on Sunday), but I am finished with college. No more climbing the four flights of stairs to my 8 a.m. class. No more risking my life to cross Cooper Drive because the pedway is under construction. No…
a summer saturday.
It’s finals week, which means that nothing exciting can happen in my life until Wednesday at 12:30, when I will turn in my LAST FINAL EXAM EVER. Exciting, but scary. Of course, after 2 weeks of plain old nasty weather, Saturday (the day I planned on hunkering down to study for hours) was a perfect…
buttermilk scones.
There are very few things that can pull me out of bed at 3:45 in the morning. Apparently the royal wedding is one of them. This morning, in celebration of the marriage of William and Kate, I had a few friends over for a royal breakfast celebration. Now, I have no idea what people actually…
storms, storms, and more storms.
I’m currently hiding out in the bathroom. We are under our hundredth tornado warning for the month (I exaggerate, but only a little). And it has been raining for at least a week. I suppose this is a good time for some blogging. Eric loves extreme weather. I think this was fueled by his stay…
life in oldham county.
I’m so behind on blogging. My apologies. Let’s jump back two weekends. Eric and I headed home to celebrate my birthday with our families. My family has been spread across the country a bit, so this was the first time we’d all been in the same house in months. It was pretty exciting. Anywho, back…
life lately.
I apologize, little blog, for falling so far behind. We’re nearing the end of the semester around here, so of course, all of those group projects and papers and tests are smacking me right in the face. I don’t know why this always happens, but group projects are always put off until the last possible…
pasta with asparagus and pecorino cheese.
Our half-marathon is 7 weeks from Saturday. Back when we first signed up for the Virginia Wine Country Half Marathon, both Eric and I were super excited to start training. We searched for the perfect training plans that would get us in great shape to easily run 13.1 miles. We were even cross-training, fighting the…
a birthday post.
I’m officially an old woman. That’s right, folks. I hit 22 on Friday, leaving those childhood days of my twenty-first year behind. Twenty-two is the age that I will graduate from college. My goodness. I guess birthdays get a little less exciting as I get older, as I no longer get to do anything out…
30 healthy foods: spinach
Yesterday was a day off for me, which meant it was a day to catch up on all the things I’ve been putting off for days, or even weeks, like laundry, papers, group projects, reading (you’ll notice that most of these are school related…whoops), etc. Luckily, I was super productive in the morning and knocked…
blueberry banana oatmeal amish bread.
Our apartment is an Amish kitchen. Well, not really, seeing as how we use electricity and other modern conveniences such as a stand mixer and a dishwasher. But the amount of Amish bread baked in our home should cancel all of that out. When I first started my Amish bread baking kick a few years…
brendecky.
Wedding season has arrived, my friends. After our journey to Louisiana a few weeks ago, we kept things a little closer to home this weekend and traveled to Columbus, Ohio for Brendan and Becky’s wedding. For those of you who don’t know, Brendan is Eric’s incredibly talented older brother, and Becky is my favorite addition…
wheezyanta.
I told the 4-year-old that I babysit that we were going to Louisiana for the weekend. Her eyes got real big as she exclaimed, “Wheezyanta?!” Kids say the weirdest things. So this past weekend, Eric and I went on a little road trip to Baton Rouge, where we visited with some of my favorite people…
