I would have had this post to you YESTERDAY but something happened. Something that is explained in the KELSEY EQUATION below
[2 people + 2 laptops + 2 identical laptop chargers] –[1 person + 1 laptop + 2 laptop chargers] = KELSEY HOME ALONE WITH A DEAD COMPUTER
Luckily ERIC is synonymous with AWESOME + super overnighted the charger + I’m bbbbbbaaaaaaaack!!
——————————————————————————————————–
TJs hasn’t had my favorite snack in FOREVER!! —I was SO HAPPY when I found them on TJs shelves on Friday!!
Seeing as I was a TERRIBLE mother to my DOGGHTER last week + shaved her even when I knew a winter storm was brewing because she was SHEDDING TOO MUCH!! So I let her wear my clothes over the weekend!
Isn’t she FOXY?!
Caught in the action of BEGGING for BEETS
Oh FRIDAY what a great day to drink some beer + study some MICROBIO
And the SNOW began!!
This wine = Meeeeeh.
I need some good wine in my life!! Any Recommendations for a girl who loves dry reds + sav blancs?? —Kim Crawford is my go to SB.
We tested out the NEW TJS TACO SHELLS + SEASONING.
Hott ddddamn they were good.
Hands down best taco seasoning I have ever had.
SPICY + simply delicious.
NO PUDGE FUDGE – this has always been a FAVORITE of mine that I revived this weekend.
I LOVE that you can EASILY make SINGLE SERVING BROWNIES so you don’t have a whole tray of brownies sitting around your house + that the ingredients are REAL.
The entire process literally takes less than 2 minutes + these guys are DELICIOUS. They don’t taste like a “healthy brownie”at all. Just plain WARM YUMMY GOODNESS.
Just add VANILLA YOGURT!! [or many other options-- but vanilla yo is my personal FAVORITE]
We awoke to a blanket of ICE that looked very similar to SNOW!!
Snow doesn’t happen very often in Charlotte —So we went out walking for a few miles so the pup could get her SNOW PLAY ON!!
FROZEN FACES!!
We came home + continued the theme of COLD–
BERRY DELICIOUS SMOOTHIES!!
- let me go ahead and clarify that I have NO IDEA the measurements on the following ingredients —my brain was FROZEN when I made them!!
- a lot of frozen blueberries —picked by my MOM!
- 2 kiwi —skin + all
- 6 mandarin oranges —peeled
- 2 small bananas
- splashes of OJ
- spoonfuls of vanilla yogurt
- sprinkles of flax seeds
- sprinkles of chia seeds
HOLY PERFECT FROZENNESS!!
Then we hit up STRIKE CITY at the EPI CENTER uptown to get our BOWL ON!!
Meet Rocco —Professional bowler [not really,but kind of].
I may or may not have been double fisting FAT TIRE + a BLOODY MARY
FAST FORWARD to breakfast on Sunday –
The most perfect smoothie ever.
- Peaches —also picked by my mom
- a lot of Mandarin Oranges —peeled
- a splash of oh so delicious glass bottled milk
- splashes of OJ
I am going to try to recreate this smoothie right now.
LOVE!

ohh,i was wondering about those brownies. i adooore brownies and i like that these are a little healthier than usual. i was wondering if that made them gross tho. glad to hear they get the thumbs up!
I have seen those brownies around and have always wondered about them. Do you think they taste like a healthy brownie or like a regular brownie? Whenever I pick up these “faux”brownies like vitabrownies,for example…I always end up disappointed because it doesn’t taste like a brownie.
Your dogghter is adorable!! I grew up having a dog and I miss it terribly. My husband is allergic
i didn’t know you could use something other than yogurt for the no pudge. (maybe i didn’t read the box closely enough?) what are some substitutions?
freaking love the pic of penny’s face…hahaha!!! Love the berry smoothie COLOR. Puuurdy!! You + E + frozen faces = CUTEness. mmm love those brownies –would be good with creamy honey vanilla bean icecream CHOMP!
Penny totally looks like a person in that snow picture.
Sheesh what a loaded weekend! Those tacos look delish and now I really want to eat something with salsa and cheese.
What a great weekend Kelsey! Despite the laptop mishap but glad you got it taken care of.
Love all the smoothies. As I read this,I am eating an SIB this moment (smoothie in a bowl) Even though it;s 20* outside,smoothies will always hit the spot.
<3 you!
um –i love everything about this post,but mostly 1 –penny,2 –standing penny –3 BLOODY MARY!!!
Love the furball!!
LOVING all these smoothies!!! Isn’t it so weird that we can crave the coldest foods on the coldest days?
Ok,your winter hat is ADORABLE!!! Do you remember where it’s from?
xxoo

How come you all get snow,and we don’t. We’re hosting this little event called the Olympics –share some with us!
Ummm I love Fat Tire. When I was in Denver last summer it was all I drank. And Penny is too awesome for words.
Awww,now that’s my kind of smoothie. I love the color of it,the pretty ones always taste extra yummy.
My favourite Sauv Blanc is Highfield. Main Divide is good too. Pretty much everything from Marlbourough rocks house.
Dry reds is a little harder to recommend but I might suggest something from Northern Italy –Barolo,Piemonte,etc. tend to be higher in tannins and quite dry.
I tasted a bottle of Tabali Pinot Noir yesterday that was quite good. Another surprisingly good find recently was Firesteed Pinot from Oregon. I guess I just like Pinot
Kim Crawford is great SB,if you like it,you should try WhiteHaven SB,also quite yum and reasonably priced!
