I feel like every time I turn around he's bigger and talking more intelligently and just getting more awesome in general. I got to do his birthday party cupcakes again this year and the theme was batman. In order to avoid doing straight black cupcakes I made them chocolate with blue frosting and created the Batman symbol out of chocolate. They turned out pretty cute and the nuggets seemed to enjoy them, or at least the frosting!<br />

The party was at <a href="http://www.jumpnjungle.com/">Jumpin Jungle</a> in Clear Lake, which was a really efficient and fun place for a party in case you're looking, so many bounce houses!</div>

Houston may never overtake Austin as the music center of Texas, but we do have FPSF. Aside from holding this music festival one weekend earlier (seriously difference of 10 degrees this year!) I don't really have many complaints from this weekend, such fun! Now, it was my first music festival so I don't have much to compare it to music festival-wise, but I can compare it to other fun and this was pretty high on the list of fun things to do in Houston. Seriously, get your tickets early next year and you can get 2 days of crazy awesome tunes for like $60. Here was my weekend, at least the parts I remember:<br />

Pretty much enter food coma mode immediately after eating it and have indigestion for about a day after. Good times (and possibly a TMI). So, when I saw this recipe for fried 'rice' quinoa I knew I had to give it a whirl. It is pretty darn delicious, and an actual close match in taste too. I never go into a 'healtified' version of something delicious thinking it will taste the same, I just hope that it will satisfy the craving in some way. This recipe did both! Try it and let me know if you agree.<br />

Recipe:<br />
<strong>Fried 'Rice' Quinoa</strong> (original recipe from <a href="http://www.cookingforkeeps.com/2013/03/27/quinoa-fried-rice/">Cooking for Keeps</a>)<br />
<br />
1c quinoa<br />
2c low sodium chicken stock<br />
1/4c sweet onion, chopped<br />
2 carrots, peeled and chopped<br />
3 garlic cloves, minced<br />
1/4 t ginger<br />
1T olive oil<br />
2 eggs slightly beaten<br />
1/2c frozen peas, thawed<br />
1 1/2T Teriaki sauce<br />
2 1/2T soy sauce<br />
3/4t sesame oil<br />
<br />
Thoroughly rinse quinoa. Place quinoa in a large sauce pan with the chicken stock. Bring to a boil over high heat. Lower heat to medium and cover. Cook for 10 minutes or until all stock is gone. Remove from heat, fluff quinoa with a fork, and cool.<br />
<br />
In a small bowl, combine the Teriaki sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside.<br />
<br />
Heat 1/2T olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Add onion and carrot. Cook for about 2 minutes. Add garlic and ginger to the pan. Cook another 2 minutes. Add the remaining 1 1/2T olive oil and the quinoa. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes. Add sauce and stir-fry until incorporated. Make a well in the center of the pan. Add eggs and scramble. Throw in the peas and stir-fry until everything is incorporated and warm. Enjoy!<br />

*I think next time I may add pork since my favorite fried rice is pork fried rice. <br />

I actually made this one for Teeners and fam when I was in Seattle and I believe is went over pretty well. Spreading the word about quinoa! This one reminds me of a real Greek salad plus some quinoa. <br />

Recipe:<br />
<strong>Mediterranean Quinoa Salad</strong><br />
<br />
1 1/2c quinoa<br />
1 lb chicken tenderloins, cut in very small pieces<br />
2T Greek salad dressing<br />
1 cucumber, diced<br />
1 container cherry tomatoes, halved<br />
1/4c red onion, diced<br />
1 pkg feta cheese<br />
1/2c olive oil<br />
2T lemon juice<br />

I hadn't seen Abby since Christmas, which is way too long! She was no longer a baby and more of a little human and in only 5 months, so crazy! Last time I visited, we spent a little time in the city, but not much so I enlisted my friend, Mat, to give me a better look at the city. While I already knew this from my last brief visit, I love Seattle! If it wasn't so cold I would seriously contemplate moving there. Here are the adventures from my travels via pics:<br />

It's been the center of a pretty big health craze recently, and for good reason. According to wiki (where we all know everything is true); "<span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Nutritional evaluations of quinoa indicate that it is a source of </span>complete protein<span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Furthermore, it is a good source of </span>dietary fiber<span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"> and </span>phosphorus<span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"> and is high in </span>magnesium<span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"> and </span>iron<span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">. Quinoa is also a source of </span>calcium." And since the UN has named 2013 the "<a href="http://www.fao.org/quinoa-2013/en/">International Year of Quinoa</a>" I've gone a little crazy with the quinoa recipes. I'll start here with one of my favorites, a sort of Tex-Mex salad with some shrimp thrown in there. I pretty much love this flavor combo. Give it a whirl and hopefully learn how delicious quinoa really is.<br />

<b>Quinoa Tex-Mex Salad with Shrimp</b> (original from the <a href="http://tastykitchen.com/blog/2011/01/step-by-step-red-quinoa-and-black-bean-salad/">Tasty Kitchen Blog</a>)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ingredients:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 1/2c uncooked quinoa</div>
1 14oz can black beans, rinsed and drained<br />
1 14oz can corn, rinsed and drained<br />
1 red bell pepper, diced<br />
2 jalapeño chili peppers, diced<br />
1/4c chopped fresh cilantro<br />
1/4c chopped sweet onion<br />
1lb peeled deveined shrimp<br />
<br />
Dressing:<br />
5T fresh lime juice<br />
1t salt<br />
1 clove garlic, diced<br />
1t cumin<br />
1/4c chopped fresh cilantro<br />
1/3c olive oil<br />
fresh ground pepper<br />
<br />
Thoroughly rinse the quinoa to remove the bitterness. Place the quinoa in a sauce pan with 3c water and some salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and cover. Cook for 15min or until the water has completely disappeared. Set aside to cool<br />
<br />
In a large bowl, combine the black beans, corn, red bell pepper, jalapeños, cilantro, and onion.<br />
<br />
In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients. Pour about 1/4c of it into a skillet. Toss the shrimp in the dressing in the skillet. Cook the shrimp until all are opaque. Mix the shrimp in with the other ingredients in the large bowl.<br />
<br />
Add the quinoa to the large bowl and toss to mix well. Add the last of the dressing to the large bowl and toss to coat. Enjoy!<br />

Hundreds of pounds of crawfish and potatoes and corn, yum! It was a pretty epic party overall with corn hole, a slip-n-slide, twister, and of course great friends!<br />

I decided I needed to live in the city as opposed to the suburbs of Houston. This was a little bit of a hard decision because it meant not only a much longer commute (like 3x as long) but also a slight increase in cost of living. Now, my plan last year was to move to DC so the change in cost of inner city Houston is not nearly as bad as I had been bracing for, but still. I was a bit panicky when, with 2 weeks left until my lease ended I had not found a new apartment. Luckily, I was touring around near Highland Village on St. Patty's weekend and stumbled upon a great option that was actually reasonable to live in a single. Pretty much got the application, moving truck, packing etc all done in about a week. Nothing like waiting until the last minute!<br />
<br />
How has the move worked out you ask? Why don't you tell me how it looks to you:<br />

We convinced a few more ladies to run this one and had a pretty good group. Unfortunately it ended up being a super cold and windy day and we were worried that we wouldn't get enough color. We needn't be worried, as you can see in these pics:<br />

Saint Arnold's is no longer the only show in town for craft brews, however it is still the best organized and biggest haha. So, we all trooped over to celebrate Corey Beth's birthday with some yummy brews. I was happy to be rid of all the 6pk carriers that I had been holding onto for the past 5 years (they recycle them and give you goodies for them like free entry to the brewery tour etc). Sky and CB brought some goodies to eat and we all had a great time just hanging out. Not too often that I get to see these folks outside of soccer so it was a great time.<br />

Let's just say I've been busy. Like 'there are so many things going on you get an ulcer' busy. Yes, apparently perfectly healthy 27 year olds can get ulcers. Whoopsies. Stay tuned to see all that I've been up to in the past months. I plan on catching up to current happenings by next week. Woohoo!<br />
<br />
Now, on to my amazing trip to San Francisco to visit <a href="http://meredithinca.tumblr.com/">Meredith</a>. Warning: mucho awesome pictures ahead. Meredith moved to San Fran last summer and I instantly wanted to visit her and the great state of California, but plane tickets were redic in the summer so I put that in the 'have Airfare Watchdog keep an eye on this for me' pile until February when an amazingly good deal arrived and I snatched it up. Added bonus: I accidentally booked this trip for Super Bowl weekend and both the 49ers and Ravens (Meredith's team) were kind enough to make it to the Super Bowl to create a perfect storm of sorts for an epic weekend. Bring it on. Here is a pictorial account of our shenanigans:<br />

So, all in all it was a perfect trip with many more shenanigans that escaped my paparazzing like the tour of Tcho, making zero friends walking around San Fran with Meredith wearing her Raven's jersey on Super Bowl Sunday, secret speakeasy drinking etc. Can't wait to visit again asap, thanks Mere!<br />

It involved $10 cover (half went to <a href="http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/">WWP</a>), a bake sale that i donated goodies to (proceeds go to <a href="http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/">WWP</a>), and Valentine making stations to help fill the care packages that were being assembled to send to deployed soldiers. With your $10 cover you got free-flowing <a href="http://www.saintarnold.com/">Saint Arnold's</a> beer and there were two delicious food trucks outside with available dinner food for purchase. Beer, food, dessert, and crafts. What more could you ask for out of a night? Steph and I had an excellent time and I hope that SA has more events like this in the future! <br />

Unfortunately, December 31st delivered miserable weather so Steph and I were a bit derailed from our plans of partying downtown. We instead went to a friend's house and celebrated a little more low key. I can't complain when there is Catch Phrase involved though! Hope everyone had a happy and safe New Year's, here are a few pics from mine:<br />

After NJ, I was able to make a trip into the city to see my fave lifeguards, but I haven't seen any pics from Miss Grace, so I'll have to add to this post soon! So happy to see everyone for the holidays, miss you all already!<br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">After a 3 year hiatus, I went to Duck’s Ugly Christmas
sweater party again this year. As always it was a great time with Apogee home
brew, white elephant gift exchange, and of course ugly Christmas sweaters. I
had planned on wearing one of my Mom’s exquisite Christmas sweaters that I
borrowed (permanently) a few years back, but it ended up being about 75F that
night so I opted for my Christmas tee. If you don’t get the reference you need
to check yourself.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The US Women’s National Team came to Houston in December and
played at the awesome new Dynamo stadium downtown. As soon as this was announced
I rounded up some of my fave soccer homies and got 3<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">rd</span></sup> row tickets.
The seats were amazing and the ladies played awesome as always; Beat China (at
least at soccer we win). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Next up on the kiddo birthday train was Jaxon’s 6<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>
birthday. His awesome parents got him a giant bouncy castle, outdoing
themselves every year seems to be the goal because this one had a basketball
court and a giant slide. His birthday was Avengers themed so I made Captain
America’s shield in cupcake form. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">They turned out pretty good once I finally
found those darn white stars. Seriously, every time I need a specific
decoration it is nowhere to be found in stores. I can’t believe Jaxon is
getting so big/old (and how have I become old enough to start making statements like that?!). I’ll include this gem to show him when I met him: </span><br />

And truthfully, this was probably more like a few months after we met him since we were babysitting. Craziness!<br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">My November <a href="https://www.birchbox.com/?raf=m3wby">Birchbox</a> was missing some of the items it was
supposed to contain (they gave me 100 Birchbox points to make up for it) but my
December one was pretty cool. It contained <a href="http://www.birchbox.com/shop/klorane-dry-shampoo-with-oat-milk/">Klorane Dry Shampoo</a> (can never have
enough dry shampoo), <a href="http://www.birchbox.com/shop/benefit-its-potent-eye-cream/">Benefit It’s Potent eye cream</a> (pretty good but isn’t good
enough to replace my Mario Badescu eye cream), <a href="http://www.birchbox.com/shop/harvey-prince-hello-50ml/">Harvey Prince Hello perfume</a>
(actually pretty good stuff, contemplating purchasing), <a href="http://www.birchbox.com/shop/the-balm-hot-mama-shadow-blush-all-in-one/">the Balm Hot Mama eyeshadow and blush in one</a> (not super into this),<a href="http://www.birchbox.com/shop/flo-atomizers/"> FLO fragrance atomizer</a> (super
cool-you pour a little bit of perfume into it and can take it with you on your
travels so you don’t have to worry about cracking your glass bottles- which I’ve
done recently), and a $50 gift card for Rent the Runway which I will probably
never get around to using. Overall a really great box, I like more than half of
it and the total value was $37.80 for a box that costs <a href="https://www.birchbox.com/?raf=m3wby">$10 each</a>.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This box was filled with snacks, my favorite! I think I
ended up liking every single item in this box. My favorite item was the
American Vintage Wine Biscuits that I ate with cheese while sipping wine. The
pumpkin spice tea was also an amazing pick me up at work when it was really cold
(for Texas). They also threw in a canvas tote for grocery shopping. Still loving the crap outta this $7 box!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

enough of the apple chips, veggie crisps, and cinnamon sugar popcorn. I’ve had
the sun cups before and they’re still delish. All around cannot complain about
the massive yumminess of this subscription box!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

more. This month had a big winner in the Balm Meet Matt(e) eye shadow. I use it as a soft eyeliner when I'm not using liquid.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><a href="http://www.glossybox.com/">Glossy Box</a> had a really great sale on their December box so
I bought it and then cancelled the subscription. I got a couple of nice items,
I really like the Forest Essentials Luxurious Ayurveda Bath and Shower Oil
because it makes my winter skin feel super hydrated. The Zoya nail polish was
lovely, but I already have an identical one in my collection (isn’t that always
the way?). This box contained a lot of products and very healthy sizes. It
would be a nice one to try out for a while, but I’m trying to cut back on my
subscriptions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Let me know if you've tried any awesome boxes lately!<br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">December seems to be a very popular birthday month for the
nuggets I know. I went to Miss Avery’s birthday the first weekend in December.
Already 2 year old, insanity! I made some red velvet and chocolate cupcakes for
the event and Amy did an awesome job with all the snacks and decorations. Happy
Birthday, pretty lady!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So it appears that I’m now increasing the gap between posts
from 1 month to 2 months, my bad peeps! I could say that I’m going to be
better, but that would be a lie so we’ll just roll into all the things that I’ve
done in the past few months. Since my last post was from before Thanksgiving, I’ll
give you a little looksee at our Friendsgiving celebration first. My friends
Randi and Joe were kind enough to allow all of us Thanksgiving orphans over to
their house for some turkey, football, and booze. Perfect day. I made the same
<a href="http://soimintexasnow.blogspot.com/2010/11/my-personal-thanksgiving-dinner.html">turkey</a> I’ve been making for the past few years and everyone brought tons of
sides and goodies. It was excellent and I ate way too much, as it should be.
Here are a few pics in between (and during) noshing and boozing:<o:p></o:p></span><br />

lady friends. We opted for the night run so we could get colored in neon! The
whole idea is that you run through these color stations and get pelted with
cornstarch that has been dyed different colors; in our case, neon colors. Then at
the end there are black lights and everyone looks like they've been bathing in
glow stick. Here we are before the race, all nice and white and clean:<br />
