Define "quick"....

This post will be super-quick! I had my first day of my last semester of classes today (God help me) and have tons to do. I figured I'd post a little run down- also known as "Ashley is emptying her camera to prepare for her cruise this weekend!"

Does anyone else think the cost of education is ridiculous these days? My textbooks for one class alone came to $250. And that's just Spanish! Geesh.


I tried the Starbucks Vivanno in Banana Chocolate- sub soy. It was okay. It tastes like a bland protein/cocoa smoothie I'd make at home. Just okay. It did keep me full.


YUM! I found this great frozen yogurt place called Caliyogurt in South Tampa. They feature three kinds of frozen yogurt: plain, green tea and mango. They have more fresh fruit toppings than candies!


Last Friday I told you all about the dinner I was making for David. For the best sauce, spinach, sliced shrooms, fake ground beef and garlic- simmer, add in jarred sauce and a big splat of low-fat ricotta, stir in pepper, basil, garlic salt. So good! We ate it with spinach fettucine and grilled eggplant.


This is my friend Rob and I at Coldstone Creamery. I realized I take way more pictures of food than people, so we took a picture (thanks, David!)

This stuff from Coldstone is GROSS! The guy behind the counter warned I wouldn't like the sample. He was right. I wanted to gag. I guess this NrGize product is Coldstone's attempt at "healthy". Don't go for it, people- for your tastebuds sake!


This past weekend was stuffed with family events and food. I love seeing most of my family within two days- but it was exhausting! Here David and me at Nana and Grandpa's for breakfast. <3
David's adorable family celebrates a few birthdays at a time with a big Italian celebration. Every year they include me, too (see my name at the bottom of the white cake??). It was a wonderful time.

The end!
