with pictures.

I wanted to share some pictures of what has transpired lately. I had high hopes for this past week, but my immune system had other plans for me. F.L.U. And now, both Matt and I are sharing the same cold.
Awe...so sweet.
I will start with our most recent food adventures:

 The Return to Sushi! 

Avocado Roll and Tempura Veggies.

 My very first Indian Food Adventure! 

Potato and Cauliflower Curry...yummy.

 Saturday Morning Brunch at Local Harvest.

Matt on the Top: Chorizo Pot Pie (holy cow) 

Mine on the Bottom: Vegan Apple Stuffed French Toast (holy non-cow)

Christmas: 
Sickness ruined our travel plans for Christmas. We originally planned to leave St. Louis Thursday night and head up to Matt's parents in Springfield, IL. Stay the night up there and then head to Iuka to spend Christmas Eve with my parents. Stay the night there and then head to my grandparents in Hartford, IL and be home on Christmas Day evening.Well, none of that happened. Boo. My parents ended up coming to our apartment on Saturday morning before heading to my grandparents across the river.We will go to Matt's parents on New Year's Day. I suppose it isn't the end of the world...but it did/does make me sad.
My mom baked us some vegan brownies AND vegan cupcakes from one of the cookbooks they got me!
Look at all these COOKBOOKS! Santa spoiled me rotten!!

A big ol' Thank You! to my mom & dad, and Nanny & G-pa! 

There is going to be some good cookin' at the Miller House :)

 My favorite homemade cookie plate. 

Winter Wonderland out our front windows.

Last but not least:

We ventured outside today to pick up some necessities to get through the next couple days. Our cabinets were bare, our noses needed tissues, and our brownies needed milk. I wanted to share the adorable tissues I picked up at Trader Joe's.
