To my Disney-obsessing, dog owning, Harry Potter l To my Disney-obsessing, dog owning, Harry Potter loving, facebook addicted, movie watching, Manhattan exploring, mamma mia dancing, graphic designing, photoshopping, cricut crafting lovely friend: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I am pretty sure everyone can vouch that anyone who has met Sammi is a better person. You are kind, caring, compassionate, braver than I’ll ever be, moderately sassy (in all the good ways), protective, and oh so loving. I don’t think you know this BUT... before we met at leadership weekend, I struggled adjusting and making friends and I didn’t really feel like FIT was my home. Then when I met your smiling face in the meeting before the we left for the leadership weekend and you asked to room with me for the weekend I knew that everything I was worrying about wasn’t really true. You accepted me for who I was and after that weekend kept inviting me out with you and your friends. I’m not sure if you even noticed how much that small gesture of just including me meant to me— because being inclusive is something that you do so naturally.. BUT the reason I’m sharing this is because that kind spirit you have is one of the many things I love about you. Sammi you are literally home in a person (and I’m sure all of your residents feel the same way 😉). From our time at FIT Olympics, to escape rooms, to watching movies (both at the theater and in the dorms), to upstate adventures, dining hall chats, library study sessions, target runs, alpaca farms and random frolicking no matter what adventure we go on— you manage to make everyone you make contact with feel loved and you make every place feel like home. Being your friend is literally an HONOR and I wish everyone in the world has a friend like you in their life. I hope Charlotte and Willow have a big surprise up their sleeve for your big day. (I am sure they have been plotting). I am counting down the days till I can hug you and we can celebrate in person. I hope your day is magestic, magical, sunny, cake-filled, and just as beautiful as you are and I hope you always remember to embrace your inner sparkle ✨ 🏰🍎💃🏻🐕🦙🍕🌃💗🎉

From all of our adventures to alpaca farms, bacon bars, escape rooms,rap concerts, upstate, the wild subways, and trips to the library— you always have managed to brighten my day. One of my favorite memories is that one day freshman year when we went to the dog park and hung out with random dogs for an hour. (Absolutely Magical— BUT WHAT WERE WE DOING) I’ll never forget the night we did face masks and you had the cooking incident. I’m gonna have to watch Mamma Mia tonight in honor of you. Also sorry for all those times I should’ve used photoshop and used Indesign instead. Thanks for being just as crazy as I am. Thank you for loving me so fiercely and for being such an amazing friend constantly. Thank you for picking me up when I’m down. Thank you for encouraging me to be brave. BUT more importantly: thank you for being a friend. I can genuinely say that I am a better, more compassionate, arguably more sassy, and kind person because I have you in my life. Hope your day is JUST as magical as you ✨💗🎉🌆🍕🧁

Vanilla Almond Milk Ice “Cream”

Personally, 2020 has been out of CONE-troll and I think the one thing we can all agree on is: the world needs more ice cream. I’m not sure if it is the current news cycle, the fact that we are living through a global pandemic, or the fact that the world is slowly falling apart– but ice cream just seems in order nowadays.

One of the hardest things when I changed my diet, was not being able to find good dairy free ice cream at the grocery store. Pre-COVID, I used to have an ice cream subscription at Pressed Juicery. (Yes, a literal ice cream subscription- Mom if you’re reading this, I hope your proud of me). Their almond-milk vanilla freeze is to DIE-FOR. …. Okay that might be an exaggeration BUT I would be lying if I said I didn’t get a freeze at least once a week.

Since I moved home from school, I didn’t have a Pressed Juicery nearby and went ice-cream less for a few months. (Tragic, I know). This summer, I splurged and bought an ice cream maker (I know, I babble way too much about this ice cream maker) but it has changed my life. Homemade ice cream has been a staple in my house and I swear it’s the only thing that has kept me sane the past few weeks. Many dairy free ice cream recipes use coconut milk, but this one uses almond milk as a base — and it’s surprisingly creamy!

THE INGREDIENTS

  • 2 Cups of Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
  • 5 Dates
  • 1 TBS of Vanilla Extract or Vanilla Bean Extract
  • 1 Small dash of Cinnamon

STEPS

  1. Soak the dates in warm water for 4 minutes
  2. Put the softened dates and half a cup of almond milk into the blender, and blend until a soft paste is formed
  3. Add the rest of the almond milk, a dash of cinnamon, and vanilla extract and blend at high speed
  4. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker, and follow your ice cream makers instructions (I put it in the ice cream maker for 20 minutes)
  5. Serve soft, or freeze for 2 hours– scoop and enjoy!
