Monday, Monday, you are here too soon! Was it just me or did this past weekend just fly right on by? Yesterday I did manage a trip to IKEA and although there were many lovely things there, I didn’t buy much and was kind of disappointed.
Well we won’t be disappointed this morning because Jenn from is our Blooming Blogger today! Jenn is not only beautiful and sweet but she is quite funny to boot! She also has some mad photography and culinary skills that you need to check out, after you read a little bit about her first.
How did you come up with your blog name?
My husband and I talk like normal human beings very rarely… usually we speak in movie quotes =) I always swoon a little when he says “Me and Jenny goes together like peas and carrots” and when it came down to title my bloggy project — I knew I wanted to play off that quote. Since I’m always combining food and art, the crayons reference jumped into the mix and the rest is history!
Favorite thing about blogging?
Connecting with such a fabulous and diverse group of people! The best feeling in the world is to know I changed someone’s day/week/life by helping them love veggies or at least look at them differently! Every time I get a comment saying “My kids devoured this dish – veggies and all!” or “I LOVE broccoli now!” it confirms that this is exactly why I blog — I love it!
What is your favorite food?
I know you’re about to see this one coming: Vegetables! Pretty much all of them
What is your favorite recipe?
Name one thing you can’t do that you wish you could.
I enjoy singing badly (more fun that way) so I would have to go with flying. Living with a pilot makes me insanely jealous =)
If you could vacation anywhere, where would you go and why?
Right now? California! I’ve never left the east coast.
How did you meet your husband?
We were next door neighbors in college. He lived in 304 and I was in 303. I met him the week I moved out. #Irony
Favorite kitchen item?
If I could marry my garlic press I would. I HATE touching garlic =)
Favorite item in your home?
does my bathtub count?
Best book you have read lately?
Hunger Games!!!! I’m 1/2way through Catching Fire at the moment
Three favorite blogs to read right now.

One thing people don’t know about you but they will now.
I cry at every movie. Ever. Either b/c i’m laughing or because its ridiculously sad
Show us your favorite room or project you’ve completed.
!Everytime I look at those upcycled glass kombucha bottles I smile — they’re lean, “green”, and beautiful!
<3and is my favorite room! it’s my happy place! Though I could use some advice on how to decorate it!
Thank you Jenn for sharing with us today and I am going to admit that I have never tried Quoinoa but it looks yummy. I think I might try some this week. But first I want to learn to pronounce it properly and maybe Jenn can cook me up some of her Quoinoa instead. For reals, I am trying some this week although there are no gurantees the rest of my family will, does anyone want to take the Quoinoa challenge with me?
Head over to see and while you are there, maybe offer her some decorating advice for the kitchen!
i love how you met your husband! my husband and i went to the same small college and met after he graduated, my senior year!
and i looooove that pantry, and i would be crying at every movie with you. 
Oh I'm so excited to check out Jenny's blog and that quinoa recipe! Right up my alley! And yep – I cry at every movie too – funny or sad. Overboard with Goldie Hawn – bawl my eyes out.
I love Jenny! She was one of the first people to ever comment on my blog. Her recipes are devine. Ange, you have to tray quinoa. We ate it all the time here and love it!!
That quinoa fried rice looks awesome! Great post, ladies!
