3-ingredient combos

I’m caretaker of the house today <3 There’s always little lovebug and the pups, but the Pilot had surgery this morning. He’s doing great and is just laying low- it’s been a nice treat to have him home on a Monday, even though he’s resting and recovering. I wasn’t feelin’ anything heavy for dinner, so…

Things of lately

11/28: What I Ate Wednesday

I’ve done a couple of these before, and keep getting more requests for them, so I thought it would be a good day to do another since it was a fairly “normal” work day, even though I taught two more intense classes instead of one. It was also a normal life day, which can affect…

Thinking outside the “box”

You may have seen CrossFit on my tentative workout schedule every week for the past, ummm, couple of months? Well, even with the best intentions, I still haven’t made it back. There are so many different class options, but no early morning beginner classes. I really want to learn all of the lifts/techniques and the…

Back at it

Thanks for all of your awesome comments yesterday morning <3 Your kind words and Liv’s sweet little face helped to make it an awesome Friday. We had lunch with Kyle and the Pilot,ย came back home to hang out -Liv was having a teething day so we laid low for the afternoon- went for a family…

Our favorite bacons

Food-wise, lunches are usually my least exciting meal of the day. Since I’ll make them while serving Livi’s food, or they’re packed up to take to work, chances are that it’s a quick wrap or salad I throw together with veggies I’ve already chopped and/or roasted. Company-wise, they’re one of my favorite parts of the…

11/2: Friday Faves

I think the little humpday holiday made the weekend arrive so much faster. Chocolate and a quick weekend- hey, I can get on board with that. Anything fun going on over the next few days? Please let me know if you’d like a November workout calendar and I’ll have it up by Sunday morning (Sunday…

Vegan stuffed pattypan squash

There are a lot of things I love about my husband. He takes such great care of Liv and myself (just when I thought I couldn’t be crazier about him, he became a daddy), works extremely hard, looks verrrrryyyy nice in a flight suit… and so many other things that I could go on and…

Not my skillz

One of my favorite things: taking a walk with my girls after work. It’s such a great way to end the day, and Bella appreciates the change of scenery. It’s also the icing on the cake when dinner is ready at home, waiting to be devoured:ย sweet potato and black bean chili!ย I didn’t have black beans…

Lose some, win some

I’m kind of crazy about Bella’s new haircut. We took her to a new groomer, which can always be a little nerve-racking but she came highly recommended by a friend, and were so happy with everything about it. The place was clean, the employees were extremely kind, Bell was happy (and playing with their pet…

Smack in the middle

Most of the time, I love to cook.ย  I can’t wait for a chance to try out a new recipe or make an old favorite for dinner (all while singing “Bringing home a baby bumblebee,” doing a ridiculous dance or orchestrating a Tupperware drum solo). Other times, I want my food delicately placed on the…

{meat}loafing around

Instead of my 4-miler, we had a bit of a fiasco. We were at Sabino Canyon and the Pilot twisted his ankle walking in from the parking lot. The poor guy has been hobbling around the house, and will probably have to make a doc visit soon :/ ย He offered to take Liv home and…
