Simple Song

When I was driving to work this morning I heard that song on the radio and thought 'yes! its going to be a good day!!!' It makes me feel so joyous! I bet the guy driving in front of me was wondering why the girl behind him was grinning like an idiot, but seriously, cant stop smiling when I hear it! Ha! Anyway, I love when a song can set the tone for the entire day :) Im just realizing this (work)day is almost over. And I heard a rumor that its sunny outside. Hooray! My premonition is coming true! Thinking its really time to get my tattoo. My 30th *gasp* birthday is Saturday and I cant think of a better excuse to spend money on myself. Maybe Ill get two! YES! Im loving this idea! Cant wait!!! In other news, today is the two year anniversary of my life altering car accident. Before realizing this, I requested all my medical records from my attorneys office and was reading the chart notes from the latest specialist. GOOD LORD it made me feel anxious. I had to stop reading and say a quick little 'thank you' prayer for being alive...for being HERE...for actually feeling pain. I. AM. THANKFUL. Isaak is going to make me dinner tonight. Whoa! Heres a pic, just for fun:

Its frightening because I KNOW I make this face ALL THE TIME. Finally caught on camera. God, Im so professional. HAHAHAAHA!!!

Lets talk about food, baby.

Jeeze, I'm such a nerd. I supposed everyone replaces words in songs so they become relevant to what they're talking about right? RIGHT? So...I follow a blog called My New Roots which has taught me sooo much. I can't even begin to explain how often I rely on this site for food inspiration and information. I tell EVERYONE I know about it. Literally, everyone. Anyway, I bought some goat yogurt awhile ago at the co-op with the intention of getting the good stuff from dairy, just not the cow version... Ill just say this, goat yogurt is not my fave. So I started looking for ways to use it up so I wouldn't have to toss it out. At this same point in time, I had some lovely bananas rotting ripening on my counter and wanted to incorporate those as well. I stumbled upon this recipe Let me tell you!!!! I have made this stuff 3 times in the last 2.5 weeks. Its that good. So good. Everyone loves it. Even my brother loves it, which is a miracle. I dont have the heart to tell him its made with goat yogurt...thats my little secret. haha! Here are some phone-shots from when I made it before my trip to Palm Springs:

The Medjool Dates were soooo cheap in California. I pay an arm and leg for them here and the deliciousness doesn't even compare. I called my mom and asked her to bring back another two pounds with her!!
