2010 September | girl meets life.

September favorites.

Hello there, lovebugs! It’s the last day of September, so it’s time to take inventory of all our favorite foods, trends, and pop culture tidbits! All the important things, of course. Starting with…

food.

Do you even have to guess? Pumpkin.

Sometimes trends get on my nerves, but can I really blame the entire world and their mothers for [...]

Girl Meets Life.

HI! My name is Gracie, and welcome to Girl Meets Life.

Yes, you read that right – Girl Meets Health is now Girl Meets Life.

You might be thinking – but I liked Girl Meets Health, it had such a ring to it! Trust me, I felt the same way. But for a number of reasons (which I’ll [...]

my never ending pasta bowl.

You know how Olive Garden has their Never Ending Pasta Bowl? Well, I think mine gives theirs a run for its money.

The difference is – my Salmon Florentine Pasta bowl is never ending not because I had seconds and thirds, but because it’s full of filling ingredients like salmon, beans, and spinach. And if you’re [...]

no fig deal.

Lately I’ve really been noticing my inner-foodie coming out. Growing up I always loved food, but I couldn’t seem to find anyone that shared the same passion. But now, as a 23-year-old with access to this little old thing we call the Internet, I’ve been able to connect with fellow foodies from all across the globe. [...]

Pumpkin Bread Streusel Muffins

There’s something about waking up at home on a Sunday morning that gives me the desire to bake something. Luckily for me, Pumpkin-Gate 2010 is apparently over, as I finally came across an abundance of canned pumpkin at the grocery store the other day.

My usual choice when it comes to baking with this canned fruit is [...]

and a half.

Oh hi, friends!

Do you know what today is? It’s my half birthday I am now officially 23.5 years young. And, I can honestly say that this year has been the best of my life thus far. My mom has always told me that it was between the ages of 21 and 25 is [...]

peanut butter apple crisp.

Every fall, my family and I go through at least three batches of homemade apple crisp. Yeah, we like the stuff. Even though my mom and I have plans to make some next week, I couldn’t get apple crisp off of my mind last night. I thought, how could I make apple crisp a) a bit [...]

without a hitch.

Don’t you love weekends that seem to go without a hitch? Well, that’s exactly what this weekend turned out to be. There was time spent outside, fun nights out, relaxation, good food, and even better company

Rewind to yesterday, where Amanda and I spent the day at Peddler’s Village. It was pretty much the perfect [...]

houseguest prep.

Hello, friends!

Today my lovebug Amanda is arriving to spend the rest of the weekend at the GMH household. Amanda and I became friends at college, and after realizing we have pretty much everything in common, we knew it was a friendship that would last!

We even got to share the experience of being odd-ball December [...]

no fresh food? no problem.

Hi dollbabes! Hope you’re all enjoying this holiday weekend

After a great day in the city, I’m back home in good old Pennsylvania. I was pretty hungry by the time I got home, only to find that there was barely any food in the kitchen. I didn’t feel like going to the grocery store, so [...]

he’s like a vegan Bradley Cooper.

^^ Gabriela’s words, not mine

Where to begin? Well, first of all: New York, I love you.

Actually…that’s Jersey City. But you get the point.

After getting settled in at Gabriela’s (absolutely adorable) apartment yesterday afternoon, we headed uptown for dinner at Candle 79 for some vegan eats.

No, I’m not a vegan. But I’ve also [...]

oh, hi!
