i am giddy for pinterest. what a fun way to catalog what you like, get inspired, and learn about rad stuff floating about the internet.. i kept seeing pinterest on several blogs i read, but, quite frankly, i always feel a bit shy on the social media front, so i was sure pinterest was something to "fear" as well, ha! boy was i mistaken! if you haven't tried pinterest give it a whirl. it's pretty fun and quite addictive. if ya wanna share in the love you can follow my pins here. OR i think you can just search my name. enjoy!!

 

the baggu....

i friggin' love these bags at baggu. no patterns no fuss. just good fun solid colors, just the way i like it. but, dang how to pick a color. it's like having a brand new box of crayons and trying to pick your one favorite color.

middle eastern chickpea burgers

photo-81.JPG

middle eastern chickpea burgers 1 red potato 1 can chickpeas, rinsed, drained and mostly mashed 1T chopped parsley 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp paprika 1/4 tsp black pepper 2 large egg whites or 1 whole egg olive oil spray.

boil potato, cut, and course mash in a bowl with chickpeas. leave a few whole chicks for added texture. stir in parsley and remaining ingredients. spritz pan with olive oil. form flat patties and cook til golden on each side. these are really yummy and super easy. i'm making them today with sweet potato & fennel fronds instead of red potato & parsley. hope they turn out delish. * i like to eat them with vegenaise and hot sauce. chris' mom made these for me countless times just after lucy was born and they were always such a treat.

lucy fell asleep in her carseat and i tucked her under the table to give her a reprieve from all the action :O) this was our first show with lucy and she was definitely a trooper and loved the people watching. the last photo was of her having a little play time on a cozy blanket in the backyard of chris and ryan's studio.
