Yuengling + fig & goat cheese pizza (At Uno’s, of all places. Who knew?) + fries + a giant peanut butter cup sundae*, all shared with one of my best and oldest friends. It’s the best Valentine’s date I’ve ever had. Romance is overrated.
*Cookie crust bottom, peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough filling, dark chocolate exterior with ice cream and chocolate sauce. Do itttt.
Tell me the BEST thing you’ve eaten recently…

The cardinal rule of dinner party cooking is that you’re never supposed to use a new-to-you recipe. So, since I’m throwing a dinner party for some friends in a few weeks, I saw that as an opportunity to bake a cake- never mind the fact that I’ve actually already made it before. I used this [...]

Apparently it’s slacker week on Une Vie Saine. All of the “recipes” I’ve posted have been basically childproof. Infused vinegar? Melted chocolate and graham crackers? And now, rice? Pay attention, though. Though this rice is ridiculously simple to make, it’s by far my favorite way to eat the stuff. You see, I don’t really care [...]

I feel like I’m finally getting the hand of dressing nicely every day. I went from having my mom dress me every day in elementary school, to wearing a uniform every day in middle and high school, to wearing jeans or yoga pants and sweatshirts every day in college, to actually having to look polished [...]

In case you didn’t already know, it’s Valentine’s Day! I’m really not a huge fan of this holiday. It’s a nice idea, but in execution I think it’s kind of silly. I’m not single and bitter about it, either; even when I’ve had a boyfriend, all the hoopla just kind of sets you up for disappointment. [...]

Everyone knows that there’s something about restaurant salads that are just better. I’m not sure what it is, but no matter how healthy the menu description makes something out to be, the deliciousness of a fancy purchased salad makes me suspicious. Do they butter the lettuce? Inject the tomatoes with sugar? (Well, depending on the [...]

Now THIS is what Valentine’s day is all about
My kind of Valentine’s Day! Good friends, great food, and chocolate. I recently had a blood orange creme brulee that was absolutely delicious!
That pizza looks so good!!!
And I had some AWESOME vegetable rolls the other weekend with cilantro, tofu, and a vegetable (I want to say cucumber or asparagus?)
the best thing I ate recently was a roasted eggplant stack with melted goat cheese and a tangy mariana. I would definitely trade that for that pb cup though! I am a pb addict!
MANGIA!
Do drinks also count?
Because I had THE BEST vinho verde last week, when I went to dinner. Amazing!!
Wow, I want a glass right now,.,haha
Drinks ABSOLUTELY count! That sounds delicious!
Your dessert sounds and looks great! Best thing I’ve eaten lately is the Snickerdoodle Cookie bars I posted about a couple days ago and also some brownies I made that will be blogging about soon!
I just went through my reader and saw those…drool…
There is a sandwich place by me that has the most delicious reuben. Actually getting it this afternoon for lunch!!
your v-day looks wonderful.
best thing i ate was my favorite pizza!
UNO’s has fig and goat cheese pizza?! I have GOT to hit up my local joint. wowza!
Dude, their menu was incredibly surprising and everything we had was the BOMB. So worth a trip, and I’m not usually a fan of chains (besides Cosi)!
Those fries are calling my name!!
omg your valentines shoes are ADORABLE!! break them out once a week i say! xoxo
While the dessert looks fantastic, the fries look even better…the best thing I’ve eaten recently was my dinner this evening. Spicy spinach and sauteed tofu. Simple, but it was so so so good, best thing I’ve cooked in a long time!
Looks like a winning Valentines Day to me! Sometimes good food > boys (:
This sounds perfect! Valentine’s Day with a good friend is way better than Valentine’s Day with a boy!
The best thing I’ve eaten recently is a sandwich with grilled chicken, spinach, goat cheese and pesto!
That dessert looks amazing! Yum!
I have a weird thing for Uno’s. I think it’s because it’s one of the few places where my whole family can go and each one of us (with our different dietary needs) can be really happy with our meal.
Who knew, right? Their menu is surprisingly awesome!
