In an attempt to be more festive because I haven’t had the time to make Thanksgiving themed recipes, I’m sharing with y’all recipes I’ve written in the past–all which make great Thanksgiving dishes–& recipes from others. I’m partial to these food bloggers because they interact with their readers, so please give their recipes & websites a visit. Such beautiful scrumptious pictures & recipes, what’s not to love? Shameless plugs + friendly plugs, simple, short, & sweet. Hopefully these recipes get you inspired to get cookin’ this holiday season.

As I sit here listening to Broods’s self-titled debut EP, I feel a sense of calm that I haven’t felt since I was in the Bahamas with my family & Josh. I’ve been so high strung since I’ve gotten back with application deadlines looming, attempting to gather together my thoughts to compose several profound & moving personal statements formatted correctly to each school’s guidelines that I often forget to just breathe. There is so much I’d like to write to explain myself & why I want to pursue medicine, but I’m often confined to 2500 characters to 450 words, thus it’s absolutely imperative that I make every word count. Years of blogging have taught me that most people stop reading if your blog exceeds 500 words so I’ve always attempted to keep my thoughts short. Just taking a gander at my giveaway post, you can see that most people didn’t care to read what I wrote because they were simply there for the chance to win free loot.
Without further ado, here are some pictures & a video from my week vacation in Freeport, Grand Bahama. It was overcast everyday while we were there so the weather wasn’t optimal for us to do any fun water sports, but with such a beautiful view, it’s difficult to have a bad time!

The Road to 100…Bloglovin’ Followers. |
I’m hosting a giveaway for the very first time on Tiffany Bee & anyone can participate because I’m making this worldwide! It doesn’t even matter if you’re my friend & you just saw me yesterday, you can still participate. So please help me spread the word so more than just a few people can get a chance at winning some free goodies. I know I’m not exactly throwing in a free camera or anything that fancy, but I do send the best care packages. (See Nancy & Becca for confirmation on said best care packages.) For some very strange reason still unknown to me, the cookbook I ordered for this giveaway never got delivered to me & the company that sold it to me never responded back to my e-mail, so for this giveaway, you can choose whether you want a cookbook, one of my favorite novels, or any book that is on your wish list right now.
What’s in the package?
- (1) Book of your choice within $15
- (1) Matcha Green Tea Cream Pocky
- (1) Panda Cookies & Cream Pocky
- (1) Handmade faux pearl bracelet
- (1) Nail lacquer
- (1) Handmade “tribal” bracelet
- Various snacks & candy
- (1) Free Domain for 1 year of a max value of $13
- (1) Free hosting account for 1 year

Sara & me at Eton College |
Olivia & I went on a tour to Stonehenge, Bath, & Salisbury Cathedral yesterday & counted the number of pictures I took. Just from that day alone, I accumulated 610+ pictures. I haven’t even gotten to the Oxford pictures we took on Saturday either. This is probably the most my camera has ever been used within two weeks. Talk about one of my best investments of 2011. All right, just like last time, I’ll post a few random pictures so you’ll stare at my website for longer than 5 seconds. Hover over the pictures to see a caption.
