Fried Green Toms

Things are yawningly kicking off this  morning  afternoon. Last night was one of those where I just tossed and turned. Those are pretty rare. Our bed is pretty much like a cloud with a Tempurpedic mattress, mattress topper, and pillows. What can I say? I like the comfort. I usually always get my sleeps.

This lack of night-night time isn't cutting it. I have to go to the grocery store and should also tidy up. We have company coming in late this afternoon, and I feel like doing absolutely nothing. Double shot espresso? Adderall? Where art thou? 

Anyneedsmoreenergypront, and switching gears, one of my favorite dishes is some fried green tomatoes. I'm a total southern girl who needs this fried candy on the reg. Get your mouthparts ready for one of the best treats in the world.


Fried Green Tomatoes

|| ingredients ||
4 Green Tomatoes 
1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour 
1/2 cup Yellow Cornmeal 
3 Eggs (beaten)
1/2 cup Canola Oil
Salt, Pepper, Cajun Seasoning

- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium- high heat. Slice tomatoes about 1/2 inch thick. Place the beaten eggs in a shallow tray or bowl. In another tray, mix the flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning. I used my Pampered Chef Coating Trays for this. Love them.

- Dip the tomatoes in the eggs, then into the flour/cornmeal mixture. Press down on the tomatoes to get the mix to adhere. 

- Cook tomatoes until golden on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve with ranch or any other dipping sauce.

Mungi Bands

Oh, to be a kid again. I always say that. Did I want to hurry up my childhood? Did I get sick of my teenage years? Yes. Stupidly, might I add. Being an adult is for the birds. Bills, stress, cooking, cleaning, bills, trying to justify telling your child no to another bowl of ice cream, (she can't still be hungry? maybe she is?) it's all hard to deal with on the reg. 

But being a kid, you can't beat that with a stick. Everything is done for you, playing outside in the hot heat or the frigid cold is actually fun, holidays aren't stressful, and you still have an imagination. I mean, those little fun sized people go bat ish crazy over bubbles. Bubbles! I get winded and light headed just blowing a few rounds for the kiddo. Real talk.

The other day, I got a package from the wonderful people at Mungi Bands. They sent my little fashion queen two sets of their kiddie arm candy. I'm sure everyone, including their mamas, have heard or dealt with the Silly Bandz craze first hand. If you haven't, they are rubber bands that are molded into different shapes.

I was too old to get into that fad, and my child is too young to even know what regular rubber bands are. Mungi Bands are sort of the same concept. They're silcone bracelets that you can trade, just like the Silly Bandz. Except, what makes these guys so much cooler, is the fact that they don't lose their shape when you don them on your arm. Those Silly Bandz look like a bunch of silly, squiggly junk.

Mungi Bands come three in a pack, each one being half of a bracelet. Put two together and you have a whole bracelet. If you get really wild with it, you can stick more together to form a necklace or headband. They have magnets on each end to connect to each other. Making interchanging super easy.

The Mungi Bands come in different designs. If your kid (or you) is feeling like a rock star or has a need for all things princessy, there are bracelets for that. Something to suit every little budding human.

These make the perfect gifts for kids. Stocking stuffers? Totes. Being a parent and getting to try them out first hand? Lovett. Thanks Mungi Bands, for bringing out the kid in me, even if it was only for a few mintues.

You can purchase these guys for around 7-8 dollars a pack. They also come in small and large. We received the large pack and they fit me.

Weekly Wrap Up (Kinda)

This past week we relived our college years by grilling out and playing "categories/waterfall" til the cows came home. Or until twoish o'clock in the morning. Whichever came first. I mean really. Straight up college kids. I hate them and me equally. 

Per usual, I'm totes behind on my photo uploading. I have folders full of unorganized pictures. Tons of snapshots that need to be edited. My brain? Have you seen it laying around anywhere? Because it's not in it's home.

ICE CREAM
Just sprinkle me five years old.


WATER BABIES
Found this Water Baby at Goodwill. It got me all nostalgic. Minnie Mouse swimsuit from Disney.



MUFFINS
Mini cotton candy treats from the grocery store. Taste? Mediocre. Appearance? Lovett.



PHOTOGRAPHY
These last two photos are taken by my two year old. I was going through my images and came across a handful of ones I had never seen. I quickly realized that my mini photog had taken my camera, took some practice shots, and placed it right back in the drawer. ||wipes hands|| My work here is obviously done.
