What’s cookin’?
2 hour kitchen blitz: Greek-style quinoa salad (lentils instead of chickpeas) stuffed chicken (the same I made for the last baby meal) and my favorite chocolate chip cookies, which ended up looking like pancakes. Still taste good, though 😉 I’ve had a few kitchen fails lately, including the brownies … I guess it’s bound to…

Planks are one of my all-time favorite core exercises. Source (It looks like Vies!) As I’ve mentioned before, one of the tricks I’ve learned is that the maximum amount of time you should hold a plank is 10 seconds, because after that you start to engage and depend on other muscles to keep you up…

Feels good to be home 🙂 Today ended up being a longer day than anticipated, so lunch break was a blitz through the house to grab more food and clothes teach some more (it was a Zumba day! Always a great thing) and then back home to my favorite people. (I’m sad that picture turned…

Totally called it. The Pilot woke up, saw that the birds were still failing miserably at their nest attempts, so he built them a nest platform. Cribs, bird-style: He did a good deed, and I think it’s for our benefit, too… I would be traumatized if the baby birds fell out and crashed onto…

Hey guys! How’s your day going? Hope you’re having a lovely morning. I enjoyed reading about your fitness and food goals for April! I have a good feeling about this month 😉 So does Bell. She’s already enjoying smelling the fresh flowers that I will most likely kill, and the run we took yesterday to…

Did you know that if you have red sangria on a Wednesday, it automatically makes the rest of the week so much better? It is true. The Pilot played hooky today 😉 He took a day of leave so I could go to the dentist (and then couldn’t get an appointment). He still has 90-something…

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…

It’s a full house over here 🙂 (+ my nana and stepdad) The Pilot’s side of the fam came in from the southeast yesterday afternoon, and when they got here we did what most people do with out-of-town guests: took them to a bar. Ok, so not a *real* bar, but to the squadron…

It’s not delivery…. it’s dinner, courtesy of my friend Kelly 🙂 She and her baby came over to chill for a while, and brought the Pilot and myself some dinner. Gluten-free pizza with peppers, basil, and Daiya (the Pilot’s had reg cheese and pepperoni on there- Kelly and her pilot eat almost exactly the same…

As much as I like getting dolled up for a night out, I also appreciate the places where I can wear lululemon and moccasins. For dinner tonight, the Pilot and I went to one of the restaurants at work. Since it’s a health resort, there is an amazing abundance of healthy options. It’s lower on…

Nothing makes a house smell strangely amazing like the aroma of macaroons dehydrating and a pot of fresh refried beans on the stove. (I’ll probably do a bean tutorial sometime soon- they’re super easy, and sooooo good) It was an afternoon of dancing over here: I took a Zumba class at work, and a couple…

3 blog-related things from the day: 1.) The return of savory oats I say “oats” but it’s really Bob’s Red Mill hot cereal… oaty enough, though. Seasoned with nutritional yeast, garlic, sea salt, cayenne, and topped with a slice of goat gouda + the last bit of Nana’s famous egg casserole 2.) New kicks! I…
