anything for a free meal

If you know André and I, you know we'll do just about anything for a good deal. So when we get the chance to eat for free, we're all over it.

Last week was Chic-Fil-A day. For some reason we've never taken advantage of this before, but we've decided it's now a tradition. We whipped up some quick cow costumes and each scored a free meal (even Rhett). Free waffle fries and delicious chicken? Of course!

We gave our headbands to some people as we were leaving to share the free chicken love

Rhett was more into his chicken nuggets than the cow. But the girl on the right? She loved the cow and followed him around the entire time we ate.

This weekend a Cafe Rio opened up close to us. Mormons love Cafe Rio (the place was crawling with BYU gear and modest shorts), and we're no exception. To celebrate they were giving away free meals, and I may have accidentally signed us up for 6 free meals. So we went on Thursday to try something new on the menu and brought friends with us on Friday to go with the classic (pork salad!). We love Cafe Rio, but now we're a little Cafe Rio-ed out. But who knew their horchata was so heavenly?

It's dangerous that this place is only 15 minutes away now.

the hunt continues

The latest entries to the Great Fry Hunt of 2012...

5 Guys

A little soggy, but fresh. Tasted good that night but sunk like a rock in my stomach the next day (note to self--stopping for some late night fries may seem like a good idea at the time, but it's not)

André liked them more than I did, but overall they were pretty good
They weren't really number 1, but I didn't want to hurt anybody's feelings on our sign.

McDonalds

I (surprisingly) liked these fries! With my refined french fry palate, I realized these tasted a lot like Smashburger's fries, only saltier (their only downfall). André wasn't impressed. Negative points for atmosphere and service, but the cherry berry chiller I got on the side was delicious.
(this is how we celebrated the end of André's finals, because we're classy like that)

And for the record, we eat lots of fruits and vegetables at home. This is our indulgence. 

friday favorites 2.0

let's try this again, shall we?

Things we are loving this week:

Honing our baseball skillz playing catch at the park

Honey Lime Enchiladas, Homemade Applesauce and Peach Raspberry Ice Cream (Happy 11-monthiversarry to us!)

Reading NieNie's book Heaven is Here. I've never gotten into her blog but felt I should read the book to be a good Mormon wife. Half-way through her incredible story and loving her openness about faith and church related things, especially to a non-LDS audience.

With the impending doom of starting church at 2:30 in a few weeks, the heavens opened and we move to 9am on Sunday. Hallelujah!

Wishing we were riding this on its opening weekend

And ok, I'll admit it--with our dinner group out of town, we have eaten dinner almost every night on the couch watching the Olympics swimming trials. You guys, I just love the Olympics. And we have our favorite swimmers and cheer them on, but I mostly get sucked in whenever any version of this commercial comes on:

the cake

birthday cakes are really just an excuse for husbands to play with fire and wives to eat sugar during the week.

I had a fabulous birthday full of work, hair dye (yup, you read that right), girlfriend dinners, cake and presents (i am spoiled) and snuggling with my husband. just perfect. 

Here's to making 23 the best year!

I gave André a chance to blog, but for some reason he was busy with more important things (like school...whatevs)

Here is a little glimpse into life lately at the Kaiser home:

 Bekah and Jesse got married! We were so happy for them and excited to go to our first sealing that wasn't ours. There is something special about being in the house of the Lord on such a special day. We loved spending the day with good friends!

We were also the accomplices in Adam's proposal this week. We got to be stealthy and sneak around and make up codes and although we aren't the greatest proposal masterminds (there were a few minor mishaps), Ashley said yes and they couldn't be happier.

 Back on the home front, we love cooking and are realizing Sunday meals are one of our few chances to do it together. It's so fun to have our own place and have friends over for dinner or dessert.

Once we got coupons for free Chic-fil-a breakfast, so we drove all the way to American Fork to get our free food. We paid for our chocolate milks in quarters from our change bag. So sue us, we're poor newlyweds.

Other than that, our days are busy with work, school, evening walks and late night cuddles.
Our apartment is slowly becoming our little home and we love it.

 

Oh, and once André ate a burger as big as his face.

(I just realized almost all of these pictures are about food. Welp, there you have it)
