Daily Delish – Poolside Eats

One of my favorite things about our Puerto Rico vacation was the fact that we had no plans. So often we jam-pack our vacations with crazy itineraries and excursions. It was nice to only worry about planning to reapply our sunscreen. Most of our days were spent reading at the beach, lounging in the pool and, of course, eating delicious food. (Don’t worry, we did get some fun activities in there, too!)

One of my favorite lunches:

Roasted duck salad with fresh oranges, tossed in a lime vinaigrette.

Best enjoyed poolside ;)

This dish just screamed “summer!” to me, I loved the sweetness of the orange and the tangy tartness the lime dressing provided.

What’s your favorite poolside treat?

Daily Delish – We be JAMmin’

I think breakfast might be my favorite meal of the day.

And it’s definitely one of my favorite meals to eat OUT. Especially when a city (like Chicago!) is sprinkled with heavenly spots like JAM.

My super cool aunt was kind enough to take me to the hot new spot before driving me to the airport.

Upon sitting down, we were presented with these little gobs of goodness.

Mini marmalade muffins with orange cream.

Adorable! Too adorable to eat? NEVER!

The homemade granola and greek yogurt immediately caught my eye.

See the raspberry preserves in the middle?

If there’s a hell, it’s a room of people being forced to watch others eat raspberry preserves and not getting to try any themselves.

Seriously.

What’s your favorite flavor of JAM?

Daily Delish – Do I look puffy to you?

It’s cuz I probably have marshmallows in my cheeks (don’t I wish…).

Apparently this past weekend was especially “mellow” …er, “mallow.” In addition to gorging myself on S’mores, the Mister and I also met up with Josh and Leann for some burgers (or in my case, a salad) and shakes at Michael Symons B-Spot.

Dinner, schminner, I say.

Bring on the shakes.

Introducing the Chocolate Banana Marshmallow Shake.

Get ready, cuz your world is about to get rocked.

I may or may not have hoarded every single marshmallow from the Mister – hey, mellows are serious business!

Don’t worry, it was as delicious as it looks ;)

What is your favorite milkshake flavor? And who makes the best ones? TOMMY’S in Cleveland is another top contender!

Fourth of July Deliciousness

I’m alive!

You guys know me, when family and friends are a plenty, blogging tends to take a backseat. But I’m back to share some of the fun!

This weekend was spent at numerous family parties, eating delicious foods and snackage.

The Mister and I dressed in our patriotic best.

After taking in the fireworks, a few of us crashed my parents house (and pantry) and made some s’mores on the grill. Simply wrap an uncooked s’more in foil and place on the grill for about 5 minutes.

Isn’t patriotism delicious?

What was the most delicious thing you ate this weekend?

Daily Delish – Detective Skills

So maybe I’ve been watching too much of The Wire and Law and Order lately, but let’s take a look at the evidence, shall we?

Exhibit A:

Exhibit B:

Looking at the evidence, we can deduct that Shannon may:

1.) Be stealing trash again to take pretty creepy pictures

2.) Be purchasing her lunch at the dollar store

3.) Be obsessed with the combination of string cheese and pretzels

4a.) Be so consumed by her hot love affair with pretzels and sting cheese, that she inhales them all before taking a photo

4b.) That upon realizing her mistake, she pulls the evidence from the trash in an attempt to create a witty lame post

5.) Be losing friends at work, as they cast judgement upon her taking photos of trash

6.) Be wishing she splurged and spent an extra two bucks to double her quantity of snackage

7.) Have stolen pieces from the trash in attempts to take sustainability to a whole new level and create urban artwork

8.) Be still hungry…

So which is it? I’ll give you a hint. About half of them are true.

Put your detective skills to work!
