Guilty Pleasures and some not so guilty pleasures


1. TV Shows- so in this hot, hot summer weather I am watching more tv than I have watched in a very long time. Most recently this has been Friday Night Lights reruns and Rookie Blue (I blame Christine for this Rookie Blue addiction)- I watch them both on Hulu. I am sort of vicariously living through the characters on these shows. I would definitely want to be Julie Taylor, who doesn't want their Dad to be the most successful varsity football coach in the state of Texas?! Just kidding Dad! I NEVER want to live in Texas.

2. Frozen Watermelon- again in this hot, hot summer weather, I have started freezing pieces of watermelon to eat as a snack. So refreshing!

3. The pool- like I said some pleasures not so guilty! But, in this hot, hot summer weather, there hasn't been a day this week that I haven't been to the pool.

4. Cold Brewed Iced Coffee- Need I remind you of the hot, hot... I think you get it! I made this recipe from the Pioneer Woman's blog and she calls it liquid gold, there is no better way to describe it than that! The sweetened condensed milk version is amazing but, I did say that I have been at the pool a lot and bathing suits and unnecessary extra calo
ries don't go together so, I stick to skim milk and still it's such a rich cup of iced coffee.

5. This granola! It's my friend from college, Andi's recipe. Or actually it's her mother-in-laws. And, I have not had this since I lived with Andi in college and it is TO-DIE-FOR. Other granola recipes can not compete- expensive organic brands like Naked Granola would go out of business if we started packaging and selling this stuff! We posted the recipe on Jesssie's blog this week. Check it out and turn those ovens on- it's only August, what? is it hot at home? I am so sure it's not as hot as my hot, hot summer weather!

Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.

All I want to be is looking at Tim Riggins. All. the. time.
