My Super Fabulous Mixed Fruit Cobbler

This is seriously the easiest "Cobbler" ever. So easy, I just made it up…Seriously,I just had all this stuff on hand and whipped it up.I am a genius. It's delicious and now I must share. 


Ingredients


Baking dish (I used a square one)
1 large can of sliced peaches
2 cups of frozen berries   (I am uncertain of the exact amount I used….as I just poured the last of the frozen bag of blueberries, raspberries and blackberries)
2 cups oats 
1 cup vanilla cake mix (Ya, I just opened a cake mix box)
4 TBS of butter (melted)


Directions 

1. Preheat to 375 Degrees (Again, I made this up and just chose that to be the temp.)
2. Dump all fruits into dish 
3. Combine all other ingredients and pour over fruit as topping
4. Put into oven (I started at 20 minutes and then I broiled the hell out of it to get the crunchy-goldeness that makes a scrumptious topping) 
5. Let cool 
6. EAT IT & Enjoy!

DO TRY THIS AT HOME! 

A piece is missing. Like I said, I tried it… THEN I had to share. 

What's Inside: My (huge ass) purse

My purse is an ENDLESS HOLE!!! I was carrying it around the other day, and my back started to hurt! It's ridiculous. So, I decided to unload it, and see what crazy things were inside. I swear…. I am Mary (Effing) Poppins. 

Here's the ENDLESS HOLE

AND….What's inside

Starting from top and going across to the right: 

1. My re-usable shopping bag my co-worker made
2. My Red wallet with a Peacock on it (thanks Mom)
3. Sunglasses
4. Can barely see it - but that's a coffee cup sleeve
5. Napkins (always need to be prepared)
6. Pink Glitter nail polish
7. 1 Tea Bag
8. Hand sanitizer
9. Hand Lotion
10. GUM
11. Travel Size hairbrush 
12. Holiday Mints, Rootbeer Barrels, and a Cough drop
13. Yup, that's an Easter egg
14. 2 Pens
15. The purple bag are my "City Flats"
16. Granola Bars - I carry snacks with me, cause I am dating a toddler and he gets cranky when he's hungry. Sorry babe, you know it's true. 
17. Old perfume sample 
18. Splenda
19. Lip Stain
20. 2 old tickets from a Seattle U B-Ball Game
21. My business card holder 
22. Deodorant 
23. Head band

Phew! No wonder my back hurts. The thing is, I feel I NEED all this stuff. Well, maybe not the Easter egg. Seriously….seriously…? 

Ladies & Gents….

I can drink through a straw!!!!

I had my check-up today to see how my holes are healing. I'm in the clear! Apparently my teeth were extremely difficult to get out of my head, hence all the massive jaw ache. Awesome. 


I am sleeping through the night again, and I only took Ibuprofen once today! They FINALLY gave me a syringe to squirt the water in there and flush all the gunk out - disgusting. 


I've missed using a straw. I bought a Frappuccino and drank ate it with a spoon. Super lame. 

Cheers to recovery! 

The Gift of Sight

I have been wearing corrective eyewear (i.e., glasses or contacts) since I was 6 years old. SIX! I can't remember a day where I woke up and could see the time, or my own face in the mirror. Doing so would be a miracle. While I was not blessed with great vision (thanks, Dad) I have been privileged and fortunate enough to have always had glasses or contacts; not every one is so fortunate. 


As you may know through THIS BLOG POST I enjoy supporting organizations and movements that do good in the world. TOMS, known for their shoes…. has developed a brilliant new movement: Eyewear! 


For every pair of sunglasses they sell, a person in need receives corrective lenses. I remember the moment where I put on a pair of glasses, and could read the letters on the wall. Even now, at 24… I get excited when I can see just a little bit better (my eyes keep getting worse). I am excited to be a part of someone's experience of receiving sight. 


Of course they are a little more spendy than TOMS shoes. But that makes sense considering they are producing corrective lenses. They sell them on their website - but they're also at NORDSTROM if you're like me and want to go in and try them on. I'll be purchasing mine soon.
