Earning my Keep

Hi guys!! Happy Monday! Hope your morning is treating ya well 😀

After church last night, we came back to the casa to munch to food I’d prepped earlier.

Salad (I drizzled mine with Dijon mustard and Garlic Gold– my cousin is already a new Garlic Gold fanatic. She said she wanted to drink it. I think we’re related, haha)

Emily’s black bean burgers (I use extra oats instead of the pumpkin seeds- the fam LOVED them!)

burger (2)

And crinkle cut sweet potato fries (cut using a Pampered Chef crinkle cutter and seasoned with EVOO, sea salt, pepper, chili powder, cayenne, garlic and paprika)

Since I’m basically an Orlando squatter in my aunt’s house, I thought it would be fun to cook dinner and treats for them every now and again. 😉

I worked on the paperwork that’s due for my HR appointment today, started Sarah’s Key (I’m HOOKED already! Has anyone read it??), and called it a night.

This morning, I’m about to munch a funny-shaped organic apple:

    Hey Gina! I tried to vote for you, but that website is kinda weird! It keeps like bouncing up and down, and I cant scroll down past the buick logo. If its just me, i feel like an idiot haha!

    My Nana bought me Sarah’s Key for Christmas a couple years back after having read it. It was very good! I hope you like it. Also, I need to get that crinkle-cut gadget!
