End it in pizookie
Any night that ends in “pizookie” is a good one. After the dance show last night, the Pilot and I each munched something random to hold us over until we determined what the rest of dinner would be. [I had a couple of sweet potatoes with goat cheese, and I have no idea what he…

Trader Joe’s copycat cookie butter (gluten-free)
Dear Trader Joe’s, I’m already addicted to your nut butters. I take a daily almond butter dip no matter what, and I don’t understand why you needed to come out with all of the crazy combos that I have to try. And I guess you came out with a chocolate almond butter, too? Well, that…

Another amazing day <3 It was the Pilot’s first time at the San Diego Zoo- we headed down there after bfast. We loved seeing all of the animals – my favorite was watching the meerkats dig for grubs and eat them. There were also a few hilarious photo ops… and the Pilot coerced me to…

Pumpkin Cheesecake for 1
It was a “dessert first” kind of night. It was a long and awesome day of teaching, capped off by team-taught Zumba class and a tubing class, and all I wanted when I got home was some sweatpants.. and pumpkin cheesecake. I’ve been scheming of this recipe for a couple of days, because I wanted…

Look who’s here 🙂 My good friend Hayley from Hotlanta, in town for baby shower weekend! I was so excited that she said she’d be able to make it and spend the weekend with us. In Valdosta, she and her husband were our neighbors, and Hayley and I spent many days out by the pool,…

One of the perks about making goodies for other people? Making sure they taste ok 😉 [Side note: roon with almond butter may be the most insane combo ever] Sending roons for the giveaway winner + a batch to an unsuspecting reader tomorrow! Today at work was my lucky day. I got to assist 3…

San Diego, which of course in German means…
you know the rest 😉 Last night was Bella’s dream night. We took her for a long walk at the park – which I especially enjoy since the Pilot and I can catch up on the day- and then to Frost for gelato. Vanilla for her: Pumpkin for him, and a peanut butter truffle for…

Hi friends <3 How was your day? Hope you’re enjoying your evening. I had a bit of a temperature conundrum at the base gym this morning. I ventured in to do the indoor track and it was FREEZING. So after one lap, I went to the outdoor track and walked for a half hour there,…
