intense neon.tons of bacon.thai chicken wraps.beachy color.
sunday ice cream.zoo polar bear.
saturday flowers.liking each other.elixir of the gods.rainy wedges.
supervising the worker.basil in a pot.friday night fire.
serious summer hair.never enough avocado.a bad decision.pretending to drink coffee.
not my idea of fun.smoky grill.good on ice.flower planted in order to get a tan.
friday lunch.face baby and some chubbalicious rolls.way too much kielbasa.

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 bought Cookie Butter finally, and I blame you for any weight I may gain in the next month (or however long it takes me to eat it all. (probably a week)).

I agree!!! I always wonder if I’d ever recognize you on the street? I loved seeing your face!
LOVE this! looks like an amazing, memorial day weekend! can i PLEASE have those hot pink heels? PS: love the summer hair!

Where did you get those shoes??? I have been on the hunt for hot pink shoes…a practical wardrobe staple, yes?

Two things:
1. What day were you at the zoo?! I was there Saturday.
2. Where is your instagram? Is it totally creeper of me to notice that your profile is MIA?
oh and one more thing
3. I bought neon shorts at Target because I thought it would make you happy. Again, not a creeper.

Wait, my instagram isn’t working?? I’ve been posting stuff all weekend! Can you really not find it? And I want to see your shorts!

I just searched your name and it found you but if I look in my followers/following or click on your name from a photo of mine you liked, nothing comes up. I haven’t seen any photos that’s why I was on the hunt
Jessica — May 28th, 2012 @ 8:37 pm
That is soooo weird!
LOVE the pictures, but especially the ones of the bacon!!
Is that BELLA???!!! She’s all grown up!!! But still very beautiful!!
And is that Mr. How Sweet? It’s so very nice to “meet” him. It’s funny, that is what I pictured him to look like, no kidding.

Love all the pictures! Great post!

I am googling a recipe for thai chicken wraps right now… yum!
Your weekend looks absolutely amazing, and relaxing. Hope you have a great week!!! :)

Mr. How Sweet kind of looks like an older version of Dr. Owen Hunt from Grey’s Anatomy. Don’tcha’ think?? And your weekend looks AWESOME!!!
Reply
You guys look great! And your hair…it’s so long! And thick and wild and fabulous! I WANT!
Glad you guys had a nice weekend. And copious amounts of bacon & kielbasa. Lol

I see both our weekends had Maker’s Mark in them… good choice. I knew I hearted you for a reason. :)

Chubbalicious rolls are the best :)

I love all the pictures! And it was nice actually seeing you!

For a second, I thought Ryan Gosling was handing you an ice cream cone!

What a fun weekend! I am very interested in your “bad decision”…It looks divine!! Yall look great, Your hair is so pretty, awesome outfit, sexy shoes!

Love all the pics!
Also…Jessica Wakefield would love those shoes more if they were purple, just sayin’ :) You know the Unicorns always wear purple, because it’s the color of royalty. (I’m ashamed I remember this…) Kidding aside, awesome shoes. I want!

I forgot about the UNICORNS. Omg where is Lila?

Try peanut butter with white chocolate chips mixed in…literally sinful and might take away the sadness of the end of the cookie butter! Looks like such a fun weekend!
Reply
Looks like a great weekend!

You and your hubby could be a couple on Greys Anatomy – for realz!

Never enough avocado. Well said.
Reply
Oh that ice-cream looks so delicious. It is mean to show me such pictures when I am stuck in a hot office with no prospect of a such yumminess today!
Reply
how are you keeping your basil plant alive?!? I’ve had one for only 3 days now and can’t seem to keep it from dying!

Love the turquoise necklace and the Sweet Valley references!

Jessica Wakefield. Wow, you just took me way back. She would have loved those shoes, guaranteed!

Such a great post! It’s a great idea! My favourite was “liking each other”…awww!

You are my FOODIE Rock~Star!

Life’s rich pageant.
I liked especially the photo of the bear. Is that bacon shot an option on Instagram? If so, I’m going to have to get that.

I love those pink shoes!

Leinenkugel does equal nectar of the GODS. SRSLY. (And it makes the best beer bread, too). Love, love, love their summer shandy with slices of orange in it.
Have you tried Good JuJu Ginger beer? It’s a good summertime-omg-so-hot-I-want-to-die beer.

My favorite part of this is “liking each other”… that’s the secret to marriage, right there.

I miss Sweet Valley High. I think Jessica would totally approve of your shoes. I approve of the Red Velvet Cheesecake. Never try the Junior’s version or you will eat it EVERY SINGLE DAY. It is so much better than the Cheesecake Factory version. Yes it is possible. Dangerous.
Sidenote: I went to Catholic school and in the 5th grade Sweet Valley High books were banned after Book#5 was confiscated and read by the nuns. Do you remember book #5?
Reply
Jessica — May 29th, 2012 @ 9:26 am
I don’t remember book 5, but I went to Catholic school too and now I can’t remember if we were allowed to read them? I think I read them mostly at home.

Tawny — May 29th, 2012 @ 2:33 pm
I can’t believe I remember this…it is the one where an older boy tries to take off Jessica’s bikini top. SCANDALOUS! : )
I received your emails daily and read them with my friends. We always share and then I post them for all my other friends to read and enjoy. Thank you!

Omg. You just mentioned Jessica Wakefield in a post?? I love you!
