List 19: Recipes to Try

It's Kam again! Hi. I can't believe it's the end of the week already. I hope you had a good one, Spring is right around the corner! Yay :)

My mouth was watering the entire time I wrote up my list for today. How could it not be watering when today's prompt involves yummy food?

Prompt 19: Recipes to Try


My stomach is rumbling.

I'm pretty domestically challenged, but I can make a few quality meals without the use of a recipe...macaroni and cheese (no, not Blue Box), cheese or chicken or veggie enchiladas, breakfast burritos (with soysauge or turkey bacon), pizza, and a few other small dishes. Nothing to boast about...my boyfriend says I have the tastes of a homeless four-year-old so that tells you what I like to eat ;)

What do you want to learn how to make? 
Any recipes floating around your junk drawer? 
A whole e-mail folder dedicated to recipes 
your friends send your way? Maybe a folder for all your 
bookmarks? Let's hear them!

List 18: Road Trip Must-Haves featuring CaL

Hello there,

I'm CaL from Boardwalk To Eden & I am so excited to share my list for today with you since I am, in fact, on a road trip this very minute. Heading up to San Francisco to see blog friends, of course!

When Kam asked me to participate in the 30 Days of Lists challenge I was so jazzed. Listing things just so happens to be my strong point when it comes to writing, designing, creating, decision making. Pretty much anything I can make a list for, I will.





Because my writing is sloppy & small, here's what's on that list:

1. favorite v-neck.
2. shorts.
3. favorite hoodie.
4. TOMS.
5. duffel bag.
6. water.
7. chex mix.
8. carmex.
9. iPhone.
10. sunglasses.
11. camera.
12. destination.
13. FUN.



Basically, comfort is key when you plan to be on the road for an extended period of time. Take, for example, my trip today where I'll be on the road for about 8 hours. Water & snacks are important because stopping along the way is a pain. Carmex is always good in case you want to let the wind hit you in your face without getting cracked up lips. Sunglasses are a must for any glaring highway. My camera is my baby, it's a G11 & will be documenting my trip. & because I am sort of weird with numbers & such, I made a number 13 - have fun! Don't let the long hours on the road get you down. Embrace the serene beauty of the open road! Play some music & smile!

Happy list-making bambinos!

List 17: Words That are Hard to Spell.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
I have always wanted to visit Chicago on St. Patty's day, and of course, Ireland. I am Irish, but I never really celebrate. 
Is anyone doing anything super fun?


Well, about our 17th list.. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT'S ALREADY THE 17th LIST! We are almost done :(


This was an easy/fun list to do, and it gets you thinking about all those words you might hate, like me!




Do you have any of the same words as me? Don't make fun of my words! :)


*There's over 1200 photos on in the flickr pool! (I am awful at uploading my photos, it is my goal to spend 2 hours on flickr this weekend)

List 16: Places to See in Your Town with Mal of Sunday Morning Sugar

Kam here with today's list prompt. I personally love visiting new cities/towns. I spend lots of time online asking people for places to visit, researching hikes, and scouting out hole-in-the-wall gems that may otherwise not be mentioned in main travel books/websites. I also believe that every town has something special to offer and a story to share.

Prompt 16: Places to See in Your Town

Today, we have Mal of Sunday Morning Sugar with us to share her list for today's prompt!


 Hello hello!

When Justine first announced this project on her blog, I was thrilled.  I am an avid list-maker and I really don’t have enough time to participate with all of the art journaling projects.  List-making on the other hand, I’m a champ.

I live in Chicago and I think that I live in the best place around (except in the winter!) so there are really a lot of things to do in this town.  Here’s my list…



In case you can’t read the writing, it says:

-The Bean
-Willis Tower
-John Hancock Building
-Water Tower
-Millennium Park
-Navy Pier
-Buckingham Fountain
-Aquarium
-Art Institute
-Museum of Science and Industry
-Museum of Natural History
-Wrigley Field
-Tribune Tower
-Zoo

What is there to see in your town?  I listed a lot of the tourist hot spots but my real favorite thing to do in Chicago is eat.

I can’t wait to see your lists :).  Thanks so much for having me.

Xoxo
Mal

List 15: On My Shopping List

For today's list prompt: Take a look at what you've been meaning to purchase

What is on your shopping list?

I tend to always have a few shopping lists going ..... Grocery store and/or Costco, Target for cleaning supplies and/or house stuff, birthday gifts, craft supplies for specific projects, etc etc etc ...

Since I generally go grocery shopping on Tuesday or Wednesday, here's a peek at what I'll be getting for food for the week:

30lists  005

As I mentioned when showing y'all my book of lists, I'm using a 7x9" 3 ring binder, with the half-page minimal theme from the 30 Days of Lists pdf downloads.

Image is an iPhone photo from a previous week's shopping.

Text reads:
vegetables - always always tomato, cucumber and bell pepper; cheese - always; fruit - what's on sale; possibly chicken or steak - depending on what Andrew is in the mood for; coffee and coffeemate creamer; ice cream?

Although, I'm not really sure why I wrote the question mark after ice cream ... I ALWAYS want to buy ice cream. :)

Please head on over to the 30 Days of Lists Flickr group to see what other participants' have come up with and add your own list!
