The famous dump cake
This was almost the post where I tell you about majorly screwing up the easiest recipe of all time: Summer Dump Cake. In honor of Father’s Day, I had to make the Pilot his all-time favorite: dump cake! Target didn’t have crushed pineapple, so I figured it would be no big deal if I used…

Father’s Day weekend pics
Fish taco Friday. Let’s all make this a thing. We also had an AMAZING dinner at True Food Kitchen. Now that we know we have one In San Diego, it’s going to be tough keeping us away 😉 The kale salad is the best, and we also shared hummus with veggies and a flourless chocolate…

Happy Father’s Day
They say that you fall in love with your husband in a new way when you watch him become a dad. While “they” have lied to me about quite a few things (“You get used to the lack of sleep when you have a newborn” baha), I knew this one was true the second it…

Friday Faves
Happy Friday! Anything exciting happening this weekend? I can’t wait to get back to the Pilot and Liv this morning. I missed them like crazy, but they had a blast enjoying some quality daddy-kiddo time. They visited the zoo, had a beach picnic, and went to an event at Liv’s school. I’m so excited to see…

Last night, we were treated to a beautiful cooking party at Sur la Table. Allow me to get out from under my rock dwelling because it was my first time in this store. Love at first sight! I can’t wait to go back when it’s open and shop a little 😉 Our chef instructor, Stephan…

Props to all the SF runners out there) I was invited along with some blogging friends for a Stitch Fix and LUNA vacay, including visits to the Stitch Fix headquarters, the warehouse (aka The Hizzy) and…

Musical Cardio Workout
Morning! How’s your day going? We replenished a small amount of the weights stash last night. Pretty much everything made it here to San Diego without a hitch, but we’ve been unable to track down my dumbbells. My 35 lb kettlebell made it, along with my jump rope and spin bike, but I like having…

Like a good Sunday meal
Sunday night dinners are undoubtedly a favorite weekly ritual. The weather has been positively dreamy, so we’ve been eating out on the patio, and the Pilot does most of the cooking since he’s the grill master. (the dogs sit by the grill like a couple of chicken creepers.) Last night was even better for a…

Berry Lemon Chia Jam
I started a new thing where if we’re out of something, I’ll try to make it from scratch. This doesn’t work for the obvious staples (like eggs. We go through 172 each week), but little things like almond butter and jam. Berry Lemon Chia Seed Jam One night, I was packing Livi’s lunch up for…
