Five Reasons To Be Happy This Friday - Fünf Gründe, Diesen Freitag Glücklich Zu Sein

Happy Friday!

Let's start with all the happy stuff:

Reason #1 I baked cupcakes last weekend!!! And they were great! At least I thought so! I ate way to many of them... ha ha, I think five all together on Saturday & Sunday! *confession time* Oh well! They were the first cupcakes I baked here in the US. And I took them to a special girl's birthday party. And of course, I had to make sure before hand that they were ok! They were not as sweet. I hardly have any sugar in my daily diet. The recipe called for 2 cups of sugar, and I only used 1 1/2 - I think they turned out great. Anyway, they were chocolate cupcakes filled with cheese cream and chocolate cheese cream frosting!

Recipe: Lentil Stir Fry with Mushrooms, Spinach and other Veggies - Rezept: Linsenpfanne mit Pilzen, Spinat und anderem Gemüse

This recipe might just become one of my favorites for a rainy fall day - yes, we have them even here in Florida! I adapted it from Noms for the Poor. It really is a great recipe, because it's so nutritious, healthy, tasty and cheap! It's also vegan and gluten-free.

Happy Friday!

And it is Friday again.

Let me tell you, my morning started off quite interesting!

As usual, I went to work at 5 am. When I opened the door,  it smelled like smoke and it was hazy inside. I called 911 and the police and firemen came. But nothing was on fire inside our space. (We share the building with a few other businesses.)

Smile, it's Friday. Friday afternoon to be exact, and I'm sitting at Starbucks enjoying my latte (with skim milk), while writing my blog.

What are you up to?

Here's my list of five things that made me happy this week:

Reason #1: Last Friday we went to out TacoLu for dinner and drinks with friends. It's an awesome Mexican place here in Jacksonville. It's not a typical Mexican restaurant, more Mexican inspired, but their food is amazing. I cheated a little on my meal. I had their $10-Taco with filet mignon - it's really good. But next time I'll try one of their fancy fish tacos.
