P365: Afternoon Snackage [189]

My mom and I made steamed dumplings together. Talk about a yummy afternoon snack! Mmhmm! Now to figure out how to perfect the sauce for it…

P365: Fettuccine Alfredo with Shrimp [188]

Sometimes it surprises me when we can pull together a dish like this without having to go to the grocery store! Delicious dinnertime meal! :)

P365: It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! [187]

Trimmed our Christmas tree with classic ornaments and lights and emphasizing the quintessential colors of Christmas - red, green, and gold! ;) 

But can you spot the hidden Mickey?! 

P365: Late Summer Dawn [105]

God paints the most beautiful pictures in the sky. :)

P365: Middle of Nowhere [104]

Contrary to popular belief, California isn’t always sunny or completely populated by cities. Take a drive down I-5 you’ll see what I mean…

P365: Butterfly [103]

"Butterfly in the sky! / I can go twice as high...!"

P365: Woodstock's Pizza [102]

A San Luis Obispo staple. Yum! :)

P.S. Yes I know there’s one in Davis, but this one is way better. haha

P365: Night Lights [101]

Although I need a tripod, I still want to practice with long shutter speed.  Here, my fiber optic lamp is my subject.  The fan kept blowing the little lights, so I captured its movement in one second. 

P365: The Walk Home [100]

I’m glad I get to walk to and from work, enjoying the sights of suburbia.

P365: Caprese Salad [099]

The simple, yet filling salad is so delicious!

I made this by layering Roma tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil leaves, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar as well as a pinch of salt and paper. 

P365: Backyard Sunset [098]

Chilling in the backyard and captured the sun setting.  Sepia makes the sky that color, so don’t worry - the sky wasn’t completely orange! haha

P365: Fast Times [097]

First time watching Fast Times at Ridgemont High. It’s interesting how it is still relevant to audiences today with the cliques and the issues high school students face. 

P365: Juxtaposition [096]

It’s interesting how a prickly, defensive plant produces such a delicate flower…

P365: Birthday Girls [095]

September starts off with the celebration of birthdays for my cousin, Brooklyn Mireya (Sept. 1) and my mom (Sept. 3)!

Happy birthday! ;D

P365: Food Fair Comes Home...[094]

My sister and I busted out our funnel cake recipe and made some awesome funnel cakes! I topped mine with Nutella (of course!), powered sugar, strawberries and whipped cream! Scrumdiddlyumptious! :D

P365: Holiday Weekend = Higher Gas Prices [093]

It’s Labor Day weekend, and of course, gas prices went up considerably! Totally unnecessary!

P365: Goodbye August! [092]

This month went by so fast, but that doesn’t mean summer is gone quite yet. Bring on the heat!

P365: Loco Moco! [091]

Food experimenting with Loco Moco, a Hawaiian dish made with rice, a hamburger patty, a fried egg and brown gravy! It sounds like an odd combination, but it is delicious! Yum! :P

P365: Mario Party, anyone? [090]

Racing around an interactive game board, chasing after stars! Ah, nothing like playing Mario Party with my siblings! 

How about some Mario Kart later?!

P365: Chocolate Chip Cookies [089]

I tried out a different chocolate chip cookie recipe from epicurious.com this time around.  So goood! I’m definitely going to bake some more again soon!
