These Girls Are on Fire

Background music for today’s post:

Alright, so maybe not. But figuratively speaking, these girls really are on fire.

Yesterday I was kindly nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award by Kyra at Scribbles and Sprinkles. This girl is seriously awesome. She even adapted a recipe from my old blog and just posted the pictures (delicious-looking!).

Here are the rules for accepting this award:

• Link back to the person who nominated you.
• Nominate other blogs for the award.
• List 7 random things about you.
• Put the award pic on your acceptance post.

So, here are the “girls on fire” that I nominate for this award:

• Hollie at Fueled by LOLZ
• Amanda at Running With Spoons
• Katie at Peace Love and Oats
• Lauren at Empowered Sustenance
• Jessie at Jessie Loves to Run (Feel better soon!)
• Caitlin at Chasing Chels
• Alex at The Run Within
• Lisa at Lisa Lately

Instead of doing the old-fashioned linking to their homepage, the hyperlink with each of their blog names is a post that I found particularly ”on fire” this week!

As for the 7 random things about me, I figured this would also be a good time to participate in Kyra’s Fun Fact Friday:

1. I have a poster of Sheldon right behind my mushroom chair in my dorm room. Sometimes it’s a little creepy.

2. Sometimes the mirror in my dorm room gets super foggy (like when you’re taking a shower?) because of the steam from cooking my soup…

3. I complain about the cold weather just as much as anyone, but really, I love it.

4. My friend is trying to convince me to watch My Little Pony. And I think I’ve finally cracked.

5. Even though I haven’t kept up with New Girl, I found a clip on Hulu of Nick and Jess kissing and my heart skipped a beat. Love them together!

6. I was supposed to go and run my car at least once this week, so the same thing didn’t happen as last time. But it was warm one day, so I figured that takes care of things. I hope.

7. My animals want me to share more pictures with you. Camera hogs.

Here are four allergy-free recipes that caught my eye this week:

First up is an Egg-Free and Tomato-Free Paleo Meatloaf from The Paleo Mom.

Next is a simple Paleo Mousska from Chocolate and Raspberries that I saw during WIAW.

While searching on Pinterest for easy GAPS recipes, I stumbled upon this 15-minute Chicken and Peas Sauce from The Iron You.

And finally, a recipe for Butternut Squash Lasagana from Conscious Eatery that will be perfect with just a few adjustments.

So, let’s turn up the heat, get the fire going (or electricity going for those of us without gas stoves), and fingers crossed for a great weekend of cooking!

If you missed my last post, check out WIAW for a recipe for Butternut Squash Shepherd’s Pie.
