Can’t Resist a Ruffle

Posted on October 23rd, 2009 by BroccoliHut

I have inherited many things from my mother: my disturbingly large mouth, my introverted nature…and my love of a good ruffle (no, not the potato chip!). Although I consider myself just “selectively girly,” this decidedly feminine fashion trend is one I simply can’t resist. Observe today’s ruffle-riffic outfit:

Between the ruffled shirt and the red heels, you better believe I was struttin’ around campus today. What did you wear today?

Alright, I’ll spare my male readers from any further fashion torture discussion. Onto the eats!

Wednesday

I went for a tropical theme for last night’s smoothie. Sweetened coconut>unsweetened coconut. Who’s with me?

Thursday

Savory oats were on the breakfast menu today. This batch featured some soy sausage (good protein!) as well as spinach and a drizzle of BBQ.

For lunch, I made a lazy girl version of Snobby Joes, using jarred pasta sauce (with peppers and onions), canned lentils, mustard, and some extra onion. It made for a quite a delicious lunch alongside my favorite veggie.

I think I have developed a dependency on acorn squash—I can’t go an entire week without it! I ate an entire small one this evening for dinner, stuffed with white beans, veggies, & walnuts. I enjoy stuffed squash so much that I am thinking that perhaps I should make a fancy version of this for Thanksgiving dinner:)

I must go watch Sorry, Wrong Number for class. Ta-ta for now.

    This is an awesome post. First off- I love ruffles too…and bows…I’m not super girly, but these are two must haves for me for some reason. I really like that top. Second- stuffed squash is my new favorite food. Just fabulous. Good luck making it to the double digits! It was a really awesome feeling. You are SO close- 7.5 miles is incredible! Hope you have a good friday

    I’m a sucker for girly frills on my clothes too. I don’t do heels though, I’m tall and feel like a giant in them! I admittedly wore yoga clothes yesterday. In my defense, it was my day off :P

    Great post! I need to try out one of your savory oat recipes. Do you have a favorite soy sausage? The snobby joes and stuffed roasted acorn squash look delicious as well. You always come up with the best looking meals!

    PS As a male reader, my vote is that some fasion discussion from time to time is completely OK…especially if you include pics. :)
