Quite chipper today 
. I love Thankful Thursday link up by Jessie from Jessie Loves to Run: It forces me to think about the good things!
For starters, I am thankful this week is over. It’s been a bit intense! In case you missed it, this is how I’ve been feeling about homework lately:
I’m thankful that I think an interview I had yesterday went well! And even if it didn’t actually go as well as I think I bought a cute dress for it that I will DEFINITELY be wearing again:
Cute, no? I wore a jacket with it, but I didn’t get a picture of that.
I’m also thankful that I tried Kim’s Coconut Cookie Dough recipe last night in my frozen yogurt for dessert. Yummm.
(I also tried Kelly’s low calorie coconut butter and almond butter earlier this week, but didn’t get any pics. Sorry Kelly! They were both delish!!)
& lastly, I am thankful someone commented here telling me try spaghetti squash, because I finally did last night and it turned out brilliantly:
Mmmmm. I made it with scallops and a sort of pesto sauce recipe I made up last night.
(Sort of) Pesto
-3 cups basil leaves
-2 cups stewed tomatoes
-handful sundried tomatoes
-2/3 cup greek yogurt
-1/4 cup hummus
-1/2 cup chopped red onion
1) Throw everything in the food processor and blend until you reach the desired consistency. Definitely more creamy than normal pesto, but I liked it like that.
Beautiful self-portraits!
I tried the cookie dough crumble too–wow! So yummy. I love scallops–your dinner looks delicious!
Thanks! & yeah I’m not usually the biggest fan of coconut flour, but I was in love with this…definitely will be making it again!
Yum, your dinner sounds so awesome! Good combo of flavors. The polka dot dress is a adorable, hope your interview went well!!
And PS I nominated you for the sunshine award

Aww thank you!!
Thanks love!
Your dessert looks amazing! And you’re tres adorbs in that dress. I hope the interview went smashingly!
Thanks girl! I think it went well. I just found out I have another one next week with a different company so fingers crossed!
Mmm.. pesto! Hope you hear back all positive things from the interview!
Thanks Taryn!!
Spaghetti squash is so amazing! Did you microwave it? When I had a microwave, that was my preferred method.
Your dress is adorable! I bet your interview went really well
Really?? How long do you microwave it for? I microwaved it for a couple minutes just so I could cut it in half and cook it in the oven
I put it cut side-down in a dish of water and it takes about 5-10 minutes. yum!
whoa that sounds so easy!!
Your dress is adorable! Where’d you get it? I’m sure your interview went well. I think it’s against the rules to ever think you knocked it out of the park!
Haha totally. Can’t get too cocky! And I got it from A’gaci (which is my favorite store.. Lol)
that dress… adorable. way to nail that interview!
thanks Alex

Mmmmm that cookie dough thing looks good. Talk about a craving.
Aw thanks Abby!! And you should def try the cookie dough. Low cal/healthy and SO good!
Very cute dress!! I hope you get the job! Glad you liked the cookie dough crumble as much as I did!
Thanks! And I’m obsessed with the crumble now.. you’ve started an addiction! haha
Your dress is adorable, and I want it since I love polka dots! Where did you find it?? And that pestoesque recipe sounds amazing…you always post recipes that look delicious and easy…such a gem

You’re quite the gourmet, my dear! I’ll have to give your pesto sauce a go for dinner one of these days.
Thank you so much for making my buttahs! Pictures scmictures.

Mmm, spaghetti squash–I only just tried it for the first time a few months ago, so good! I need them to go on sale again, I want more… And oh, you are TOO adorable, plus that dress is gorgeous!
