1. Make these meatballs.
2. Then do this workout. It’s what I did today.
3. Cry tomorrow. Your legs will hurt.
4. Order this book. No? Okay, order it for me then. I like to read classics.
5. Wonder what we’re having for dinner tonight. It’s going to be amazing.
I’m Jessica and this is where I share my stuff. You will find a balance of healthy recipes, comfort food and indulgent desserts.
I am madly, passionately, inexplicably in love with food. Bacon makes me beam. Chocolate makes me shout from the rooftops with joy. Vegetables and I are the best of frenemies. My perfect world would include none of them.

1. Those meatballs look amazing. I want to try them as soon as Lent is over (because yes, bacon is off limits atm =( )
2. I got that book on Tuesday and finished it in a few hours. Won’t spoil it for anyone, but I’m dying to debate and discuss it!

Wow, I’m so excited to see that so many others are excited about the Sweet Valley book too, I thought I would be the only one ;-) lol. I didn’t know that there had been any new ones released since the 90s!

OMG! Those meatballs look scrumptious and Sweet Valley High!?!? Totally my favorite series to read when I was younger!!!

I just saw an article about Sweet Valley Confidential. I immediately put it on hold at the library. I totally better be the first one on the list.

OH MY GOSH!!! I WANT THAT BOOK! I LOVE SVH!!!!
Reply
Yum, I would love to make those meatballs!

Can I just say… That my family’s original meatball recipe goes like this… for every 10lbs of meat, 26 eggs.
Surprising that my grandfather died of a heart attack I know. We have since changed it. But they were the best meatballs ever.

omg, it’s so funny you wanna read, “Sweet Valley Confident.” LOL. i used to read sweet valley twins/high all the time. i love those books growing up.
Reply
I just told someone yesterday I need to read this book! I loved SVH!!!

Sounds like a plan LOL :)

I’m so glad I’m not the only person secretly into the sweet valley high book
Reply
Ummmm….here’s what I will most likely do: drool over the picture of the meatballs, skip the workout because I didn’t actually ingest those meatballs, get excited about that book, then cry because I can’t have that glass of wine.
Reply
i just saw those meatballs for the first time a second before i read your post…holy heaven. i love her!
Reply
I thought you would like those meatballs!
And boy does Sweet Valley High bring back memories!
Reply
I’m totally with you on the workout, the crying tomorrow :-) and the book. I’m dying to get my hands on a copy – seems like a lifetime ago when I first read those books! It would go especially good with that glass of wine.
Reply
Oh my gosh- those meatballs look amazing! I want to eat them right now, but sadly I can’t because I must go to bed! I can’t wait to see what you are having for dinner tonight…oh please do share tomorrow! :-)

That workout sounds great. I did about 90 minutes of weights today (full body) and I’m praying that I’m in pain tomorrow. You know, in a good way.
Reply
oh my goodness. i want to read that book now sooooo badly! it’s times like this i wish i had a nook or kindle or whatever…. i’m a fan of instant gratification!

Things I have to do today. Workout today and at least four times a week so I can eat the wonderful dessert I made last night. LOL Paulette

I absolutely adored Sweet Valley High when I was a kid, I read every book in the series… Even watched the show! So glad I’m not the only one who misses quality young-adult literature… Ever read the Boxcar Children?

I did, but I wasn’t as hooked on those like I was with these and Babysitter’s Club.

Awww, the Babysitter’s Club! I was obsessed… Oh, memories :-) Thank you for reminding me of such wonderful kid-things today!

no words are necessary.
I rushed to get the new Sweet Valley book yesterday too! I was so obsessed with those books in junior high. I think I’m gonna try buying as many as I can so my own daughter can read them when she gets older. I just love nostalgic books like that :)

That’s how I make my burgers. They are amazing!
@Lauren – I LOVED the boxcar children!

you should defiantly end some nights with a glass of wine!

I hear ya! ;)

I just ordered that book on my kindle yesterday! can’t wait to read it. I was such a SVH geek…I even woke up at the crack of dawn to watch the tv show, cause it came on at like 6 am on Saturdays…

So did I!!

Sweet Valley High! I want to re-read them all and feel all teeny-bopper giddy again. I love/hate being so sore i can’t walk up the stairs and want to cry every time i squat to sit down.

SVH and the Babysitters Club were the best books ever. I don’t care what my 10th Grade English teacher says…
Also I like anything where one of the characters is pretty and has my name :)
