Sometimes I do things other than eat. Sometimes.

I love that the question "What should we make for dinner?" Turns into a solid hour of me, Leah and Sara all sitting around the dinner table on Pinterest drooling over potential recipes. Yesterday, Memorial day, we finally all three didn't work in the evening, so we decided to make dinner all together. After a day of basically doing nothing (don't get me wrong, relaxing all day is very nice sometimes) I was ready to enjoy the evening.
After looking through millions of pictures of spring rolls and breads we decided on stir fry because we all had a bunch of veggies that needed to be used.

I have cute housemates.

 There was too much delicious for just one frying pan. Our massive pile of veggies overtook the stovetop and filled up two pans. The funny thing is though, between 4 people we devoured basically the whole thing. After looking through the whole fridge we ended up with this winning combo of veggies:
broccoli
zucchini
peppers
mushrooms
onions
brussel sprouts
asparagus
sprouts
We bought a bottle of Thai Peanut Sauce to drizzle on top, and that was perfect. I feel like that will be gone pretty quickly though.

Of course any time I go shopping I end up with things that I didn't originally intend to buy or don't actually need. Someday that's really going to cause me problems. This time it was a pineapple. We decided to make some kickass pineapple coconut milkshakes. Even though we were all stuffed full of stir fry, we managed to find room for these heavenly concoctions.

 Because the massive amounts of food we had already consumed apparently weren't enough for us, we just kept on cooking. I tried my hand at making rolls, and dare I say they turned out quite nicely.

There was quite a bit of butter involved in the process.

Here are my hot buns, straight out of the oven. (I'm sorry, I had to.) I know, they're beautiful.

Meanwhile, Leah decided to make homemade tortilla chips while Sara made black bean salsa. We're going to explode someday.

Like I said, my death by means of exploding stomach is imminent.

Today I worked all afternoon and then Landon came over afterwards and we made cookies. Hopefully once the excitement of having our own kitchen wears off I'll stop getting so fat. We slightly adapted this recipe with peanut butter and milk chocolate chips too. These cookies came out magnificently.

They might be some of the most perfect looking cookies I've ever made as well. After eating a little too much cookie dough I went on a night run with Leah. Today was payday so we ran to the bank to deposit our checks. It was actually perfect, it ended up being like 2.5 miles round trip. Running at night is a little sketchy, but with a buddy and on main street it wasn't bad at all! We're thinking this will definitely happen again.

I'm thoroughly exhausted now that my sugar rush has worn off, its time for bed for me!
