Banana Almond Muffins
When was the last time you had a muffin? For me, it was when we had breakfast at Ventana. They have gluten-free breads and pastries – when I saw they had apple-cinnamon muffins, I was scary excited. I love muffins and always seem to forget about them when I’m at the store. When I’m baking,…

Rain on the windows, snow on the mountains a lovely, dreary Tucson day. It decided to jump down 30 degrees for a little wintery chill.. as long as it doesn’t stick around, I don’t mind 😉 Plus, we could use the rain… especially my cilantro that I haven’t watered in at least 4 months. It…

Protein fruit yogurt
Hey guys! Happy Friday 🙂 Anything fun planned for the weekend? We have a party to go to on Saturday, along with a return to tapping. <— So random, but exciting. My boss is an incredible instructor and is teaching some fitness and dance classes at a local studio. When I saw her the other…

Hey! Hope you’re having a lovely day so far <3 I loved reading about your March goals this morning and what you’re looking forward to- it’s going to be a great month. So, there’s nothing like having your gel-cushioned booty handed to ya 😉 Madre came by this afternoon and told me to workout or…

Happy humpday and leap year! I feel like we should make a wish on leap year- it just seems like a lucky day 😉 Some ordinary lucky oats: a fancy salad that I whipped up: (Oh Joe the Trader, I appreciate you so much) and a new-to-me lunch wrap combo. I was in the mood…

Oh hello, Monday. Definitely back into the swing of life over here! After having a house hustling and bustling all weekend, back to just the girls: myself, Bell and Liv. I caught Bella eating a piece of ice cream sandwich in the backyard this morning.. this worries me for two reasons: 1) we haven’t had…

So many fun adventures today! A world beat class (which was amaaaaaazzing) hike at Sabino Canyon and dinner with an intimate party of 17. I was SO excited to take world beat this morning. As I mentioned before, there’s no recorded music, only live drummers, and we dance to international rhythms including African, Latin and…

Banana Split Protein Shake
This is the reason why I never make oats in the microwave: OATSPLOSION! No matter what I do, how long I cook it for, how much water I add… it always ends up being time to clean the microwave. I was willing to make the sacrifice and try out these new-to-me oats: the half that…

Oh hey, weekend. (I’m not sure what kind of flowers those are.. or how long it will be before they’re brown and crispy) So nice to see you again! Since I’m not back at work yet, the weekend is similar to the rest of the week, but way better with the Pilot home. We have…

This is what can happen when you eyeball a baked goodie recipe: While we were at the store, I grabbed the ingredients to make more of Heather’s fabulous oaties (including regular unsalted butter. I still don’t understand why they make salted butter in the first place, and why I always buy it by mistake). After…

Flowers vino and a pizza picnic with three valentines (a baby, a man and a creature). How lucky does a girl get? 🙂 Hope that you had a fabulous night, too! This morning’s bfast was one of the usual suspects: (egg puff sandwich with greens, goat cheese and hummus, with strawberries and tea) I…

6 years ago, Bella was a Valentine’s Day gift from the Pilot. Same sassy face, 6 years later: We had gone to look at puppies one weekend, and I knew Bell was the one, so we decided to go back the following weekend. She came from a family here in Tucson –none of whom spoke…
