Garden Cabbage

I got these wonderful cabbages from my community garden and was not sure how I was going to cook with them.  I thought of making bubble and squeak or possibly kimchi, but my friend Samara posted this awesome recipe on her blog The Daily Avocado for Turkey-Stuffed Cabbage with Marinara and I decided to check it out.  Here is a slideshow!



She recommends brown and wild rice with it, albondigas style.  I steamed an artichoke for an appetizer and made a few meatballs with the extra meat I had left.  Please visit her site for great gluten free recipes!

work party

I watched this how to hair video by Elessa Jade (video below) and decided to try it out this morning for work.  I am so glad I did, because I got a ton of complements and also was thrown a surprise graduation party by my co-workers.  It was perfect for the occasion!  The best part is that the longer I had it in, the better it got!  Here are the pictures...

Graduation Weekend

I am so excited, I walked the stage Saturday! Here are some pictures from the event and the celebration brunch.
