One man’s treasure

is another man’s trash? Not too much food or fitness to share this morning. I was feeling pretty run down last night -the teething monster strikes again and it’s a fierce bout- and instead of seeing the gym as a refresher, I knew I was too tired to get in a good workout, so I…

2/22: Friday Faves

-This week’s surprise snow. Snow-covered cacti: not something you see very often. -Caroline’s naptime acrobatics taken to an entirely different level. (I took that picture before she fell then proceeded to act like nothing happened.) -Mangoes! They’re not in our usual fruit rotation, but it’s always fun to switch it up and Liv loves them.…

2/15: Friday Faves

-Weekly hot yoga dates. We went to the $4 60-min class again this past week and it was glooooorious. The studio is super packed -maybe an inch in between yoga mats- it’s stupid hot, the instructor is fantastic, it’s perfect. -Tucson Gem Show. The gem show is yearly in February, with minerals, gems and wholesale…

Indian Food Wednesday!

Chicken tikka masala, it’s been way too long. Tuesday night, while setting out the ingredients for Wednesday’s slow cooker destiny, I thought to myself, “This could totally become a regular thing again!” And then I started making everything and very quickly changed my mind. Anyone else get a little intimidated to see more than 15…

I gotta [spring] fever

Early February is when it tends to hit me. I love living in Tucson, but man is the weather bipolar. A few weeks ago we were in the 20s and now we’re in the high 70s. Turtle doves are already scoping out our prime bird condo real estate, it’s warm with the slightest cool breeze,…

2/3: Pics (and words) from the day

Not all from today- how ’bout the past 24 hours? Last night we took a little road trip to Phoenix to see Brian Regan. I got the Pilot tickets as a Christmas gift and thought that it would be a fun date for the two of us. It also saved me because I never know…

A Caro update

Dinner last night was everything I wished for: The star of the show: this risotto. When I put the recipe on our meal plan this week, I hadn’t really thought it through. And then today I was thinking: “Risotto? There’s no way I’m going to have time to stand over a pot and stir rice…

Just what the doc ordered + Friday Faves

Sniffle soup all around! ย  (Please note the creeper in the background.) Thank you for all of the get-well wishes. I’m still fighting the good fight. Yesterday we laid low, drank lots of tea, watched some Elmo on Youtube while snuggling, and had chicken, carrot and rice soup for dinner. I figured it would be…

Protein pancakes for the week

I feel like we ate a very grown-up little kid dinner last night: Maybe the ketchup is what takes it over the edge. My new kale salad obsession (which is a post in itself- see the jalapeรฑo?!), butternut squash with ketchup and chicken sausage. (+ wine while I watched Girls, which was just as quirky,…

A day to dine-out

Hi friends <3 I loved reading your responses on this morning’s post! I had no idea so many went commando at the gym, but totally understand- the liners are there for a reason, eh? After a few responses, just wanted to clarify that I couldn’t give a flying you-know about other peopler’s panty lines. You…
