pioneer woman obsessed

I'm sure at this point, everyone has heard of Ree Drummond, AKA the Pioneer Woman. When I was in college (I think... maybe grad school?) a friend introduced me to her blog and I read her love story like a novel. And became hooked! A few weeks ago my friend L casually mentioned her show on the Food Network... I quickly set up my DVR and finally sat down Sunday morning while the hubs was playing golf to watch an episode... And ended up watching all 5 saved on my DVR. It's great! 

Here are a few recipes on my list to try: 

Fig-prosciutto pizza with arugula

Petite vanilla scones

Perfect iced coffee

Cinnamon rolls

I'll keep you posted as I try them! Happy Tuesday!

Monday, Monday

Today was simply a Monday. I openly admitted to my coworkers this morning that I was in grouchy mood. Honestly, I still can't pinpoint why I was such a pill. I'm thinking the main contributor is most likely the fact I did not get adequate sleep last night. I decided to start reading the Hunger Games yesterday. And, in classic this-is-why-I-only-read-books-on-vacation fashion, I couldn't put it down and go to sleep last night. Once I did go to sleep, my dreams were ridiculous. 

Anyway... After being a grouchy bear at work I drug myself to the gym for one heck of a workout. Ahhh. Monday workouts are always the best/worst. The best, because it's the way I like to start my week. The worst because, well, it's Monday and it's hard to get motivated.  See above complaining. 

I'm excited about things to come this week and, of course, for the weekend. We are making the trek to Keeneland this weekend with friends and I can't wait. 

Happy Monday!
