Good morning! Hello! How was your weekend! Have you had as much coffee as me today??
(I am so sensitive to caffeine!)
*Deep breath*
Marvelous things lately:
-Girl’s night Saturday night.
(Christy, Lauren, Aimee, and Emily.. See! I told you your names would make it on my blog! 
)
We made my this recipe for meatloaf, but added two cups Italian stewed tomatoes.
Turned out BEAUTIFULLY…. unfortunately I only managed to snap one lopsided picture of it before I devoured it… oops…
- Being inspired by Kyra @ Scribbles and Sprinkles and making my two ingredient pancakes with squash instead of banana:
(1/4 cup mashed cooked butternut squash and 1/4 egg whites)
SO GOOD. I am so into squash right now. Butternut and acorn are my current faves.
But the most marvelous thing today?
-Seeing Josh Radnor from How I Met Your Mother speak tonight at my school:
AHHHHH. I am TOO excited. I may or may not be skipping class, but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity (okay, that might be a bit over dramatic, but seriously, it’s a lecture class and she reads straight from the slides which are all online). I don’t know how I’m going to wait for tonight, I’m so anxious. I hope we get good seats.. Wish me luck everyone!
I am seriously so jealous you are seeing him! You HAVE to post about it!
I will!!
Seeing Josh Radnor is awesome, have fun at that! I really need to get onto these two ingredient pancakes! Week in and out you rave about them and they do look delicious…I’ll try to give them a go this upcoming weekend
Thanks! I’m so pumped. & Yeah I’m totally obsessed.. let me know if you like them! They’re only good when they’re slathered with peanut butter or almond butter in my opinion
I’ve actually never seen HIMYM, but I keep hearing amazing things about it. Skip class! you only live once!
WHAT. OMG ALEX YOU NEED TO WATCH IT ASAP.
you will love it I promise!!!
What a great MIMM! I love the idea of squash pancakes!
Thanks Sunnie!
That is SO exciting.. what is he speaking about?
I think just the process of making a movie and stuff like that (I actually have no idea hahahaha)
Not that it matters. He could be talking about how to blow up a balloon and I’d be there.
HAHA yes, perfect description
Weeeeee!! You get to meet Ted???? Lucky girl!!! And yay for girls nights! Those are the best
you make me want to try squash, too, haha…love spaghetti but other forms intimidate me…perhaps I’ll pick up a pack of already cut squash and start there!
I CAN’T WAIT. Ahhhhh, can it be night time already? & omg I LOVE acorn and butternut. Put a little butter and cinnamon on them and I PROMISE you will love them!! You need to try them asap (especially if you like things like sweet potatoes)
Good luck on getting good seats!! Enjoy it! Also, I’ve got to try squash pancakes. Sounds good!
They were delish. & thanks!
ooooh Josh is a cutie!!!
I knowww. I just want to snuggle with him… is that weird?
Sounds like it was a fab weekend! A girls night is needed for me! I am hoping to do dinner with my BFF this weekend
Happy week love!
Oh I hope you get a chance to do din with her! Happy week to you too Katie
That’s so cool! What a great opportunity
And yay for girls nights, yummy pancakes and coffee!! I always write like I’m on a caffeine buzz so I’m used to it 
Hope you’re off to a good start to the week!
Writing with a caffeine buzz is the beeest. I think I had too much today, but I don’t even care because I feel so good!!! Going to be so productive today. Hope your week is starting off right as well!!
OMG Josh Radnor yummm!! What a fun girls night!
Can’t waaait
NO HE ISN’T gosh I wish I was there, so jealous. beyond jealous
YUP!! I literally have no idea how to pass the time until then…
Girls night are da bomb! Loving the two-ingredient pancake!
Have a blast seeing Josh Radnor!
Ahh thanks!!
i loveee josh! hes so cute! im sooo pumped that your going to see him and so unbelievably jealous, have so much fun! and using butternut in those pancakes sounds so good, anything with butternut is good lol
He is adorable! He literally just did q&a the whole time. It was awesome, but some people asked really weird questions and they didn’t call on me
Mmm, those pancakes look really good! I’m really into squash, but mainly kabocha. LOVE it. I really like butternut too & acorn, eh, not so much. Hope you have a great time seeing the speech tonight!
I don’t think I’ve ever tried kabocha actually! & thanks Karey
Try it! It’s so sweet & delicious…
I envy you & I’m completely jealous of you right now!!
Looks like a really really fun night! Girls nights are the best!
Agreeeed
Love the Girl’s Night Out pics! Squash is an awesome and less sugary way to make the pancakes. I will have to check that out. I wonder if pumpkin would work? Where is Josh speaking? That is awesome. Hope to see some pictures of you stalking him…he he!
I actually made pumpkin pancakes last week if you wanna dig up that recipe! they were pretty decent, but I really love squash and banana more. And I only got one blurry pic of him, but you can bet I’ll be putting it on here!
I think I saw that recipe and have added it to my list. I love squash and the idea of using it in pancakes is genius. Wish I had time to make them for brekkie today but I gotta get to work : )
I feel ya! I totally wake up early so I can make them before class… they make me feel like I’ve had a little treat which makes 8:00 class more bearable.
Ahhh your pancakes sound divine! I never think to have sweet potato for breakfast.
And that meatloaf looks really good. I made some meatballs the other day which reminded me of how much I love beef mince. I never normally eat beef so it was such a nice change.
Thanks
. & Same!! I usually eat chicken or fish, but I love switching it up.
Oh my heavens, yum! I love the idea of subbing butternut squash for banana in the two-ingredient pancakes! I’m definitely going to try that!
How cool that you got to see Josh Raynor last night! Was he as hunky in person as he is on TV?? xoxo <3
He is JUST as cute! Also he is really really similar to his character.. except a little bit less goofy and more sarcastic. But overall he was so sweet and adorable!!
WOOOHOOOO I’M FAMOUS
WEEEEEE
Nothing better than a girls night!!!
You ladies look gorgeous!
aw thanks!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE kabocha squash!
meeee tooooooo
