So, the consensus is to keep Project Redesign on Meals and Miles. That’s ok with me. I’ll probably keep the post separate from food and only post once or twice a week on the topic. I’ve already got several ideas and am very excited about the possibilities. 🙂
Now, I just need a name for this series. Project Redesign seems to generic. Thoughts?
This afternoon I realized just how small of a world it is when I met a new friend for tea at Whole Foods. We knew we had mutual friends from FSU, but were really surprised when we realized we had connections from people I went to high school with as well. In fact, in a weird way we were each connect to an old high school boyfriend of mine. Seriously, small world.
I had a Jasmine Green Honest Tea, but was so caught up in the conversation that I forgot to take a photo. 🙂
Dinner tonight was one of my favorite lazy concoctions: Nachos.
Nom Nom
It’s easy.
Start with Blue Corn Chips
Cover with Beans, Cheese, Onion, and Broccoli
Bake for 5 minutes at 425.
Serve with Plain Yogurt, Avocado, and Salsa
This meal is a favorite of Derek’s and one he requests every time there’s a football game on. He’s easy to please. 🙂
Warning: Impulse Buy Ahead
Edy’s Take The Cake Slow Churn Ice Cream was eyeing me down at Publix today. I usually have a rule not to buy Ice Cream when It’s not on sale, but it. looked. so . good. 🙂
And, oh boy, it was! Loved the sprinkles and loved the icing. Seriously, loved. loved. loved it. 🙂
Know what else I love? GOSSIP GIRL IS NEW TONIGHT!!! Ahhhhhh……
Good Night!
That’s one of my all-time favorite Edy’s flavors! I can’t find it lately though — I thought they stopped making it!

My impulse buy is always Ben and Jerry’s. Except it’s not really an impulse when you track a special trip to Walgreen’s to buy it because it’s 2 for $5, is it? Hmmmm

uhmmm might be eating nachos for dinner tomorrow night. underrated brilliant-ness right there 🙂
as for a project redesign name…
“operation overhaul” 🙂 seems more like an overhaul than a redesign?!

I could totally go for some Mexican food right now, but Indian leftovers are calling my name!
YUM. I love that you take generally unhealthy foods (like nachos) and make them flavorful and delicious! Plus I’m totally jealous of your dessert 🙂

Can’t wait to see the redesign progress!
What about something like “Operation Overhaul” ?
Operation Cohabitation!

Why don’t I ever make nachos for dinner? Easy and healthy. Done and done. 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration!

yhe nachos look delish! and its so fast! ill have to give it a try sometime.
Apparently I am in the minority, but that Take the Cake is disgustingly sweet….bought it once, tried to eat it, but the hubs and I neither one could stomach to eat it, so it sat in the freezer till it was freezer burnt and i finally thre it away…if only there would have been a way to ship it to Florida to you!! 🙂
I LOVE that ice cream! I refuse to buy ice cream unless it’s on sale too. I can get it for 2.50 sometimes- it’s normally 5 or 6 bucks otherwise. Offensively expensive!

Love the idea for Nachos. So easy!
How about “Combining and Designing” for your series?

A nacho plate dinner is so good, only problem is I can never stop eating the nachos, they are so addicting!
Love that icecream flavor! I saw the edys girl scout samoas the other day and almost bought it, it wasnt on sale, so that saved me from doing it ; ) lol

Those nachos look great! I haven’t had nachos in forever.

I love those nachos. It’s really exciting how easy it is to throw something so good together so quickly.
My husband and I bought that on our honeymoon and basically destroyed the carton in like two days and have had it banned from our household ever since….once time we thought we could handle lifting the ban and it ended badly.

Nachos look great! Ca you tell the difference in using the plain yogurt vs. sour cream? I am not a big sour cream fan (guac all the way!), but i tried this substitute once and wasnt a fan. Did it take you a few tries to get used to it?

Those nachos look so good! I am a huge Mexican food fan so these look like something I would really like! I love Edy’s Take the Cake! That ice cream is so yummy! I like any cake flavored ice cream. Mmm! The best part is when there are pieces of cake in the cream cream! 🙂

I LOVE Take the Cake ice cream! I hardly ever find it here, which is disappointing.

What about something tying moving & miles together so it’s part of your “brand”?

Nacho’s are one of my favorite snacks! I never thought about making it a meal, especially if it’s healthified like yours! Great dinner idea! 🙂

I think you just saved my dinner. I’ve been craving nachos, but I just can’t have them without something cool and creamy and have been trying to stay away from sour cream. Yogurt, so simple yet so genius. I have a whole case of Chobani 0% plain! Thanks!

So glad you decided to just keep it here! Who needs more blogs to read?? I’d be happy if you did one big post per day.
For a name, how about just “Merek”? Not as cute as Shamey but still cute 🙂

I think you should name the posts/house portion “When Two Become One” because it will truly be a journey of melding your lives together. Believe it or not, discussions about chairs, paint colors (HINT), and sofas lead to much deeper conversations 🙂

Excited for the apartment design 🙂 How about the title, “From Derek and FSU to Derek and Meghann Too”. A little long, but the FSU decor is insane!
