Fixings for a yummy quinoa salad to bring to Joey’s parents today.

I am now the proud owner of a brand new tea set!  I am so excited!  I asked for this for my birthday (June 30th) back in December.  Since I am home now and won’t be back until mid-July, my mom bought it for me now.  I can’t wait for its inaugural use tomorrow when I get back to Akron.

I’ve been making yummy smoothies lately.  Practically everyday.  Berries have been on sale!

My summer splurge purchases….  The tank top under the cardigan is from Urban and the the jeans, which are cropped, are from Lucky.  Shopping like I have money to spend or something, haha.  Good thing my mom bought the jeans.  I’m lucky.

Dinner from last night: Stir-fried chili chicken with bell peppers and snow peas.  Got the recipe from the June/July 2012 issue of Fine Cooking.  Just substituted chicken for beef.
