Dinner
Pinterest: inspiration or intimidation?
The other night, when I finished that one crazy intense workout, I knew I had something glorious waiting for me: Dinner at the madre’s. It usually takes a little while for the hunger to kick in after a hard workout, but the second I walked in the door, I was ready. The entire family was…

9/12: What I Ate Wednesday
Last time I posted an entire day of eats, I got a few requests to make it a regular thing. While it was fun, taking care of Liv and photographing my many snack/meals is a bit of a tricky combo. Plus… well, you’ll see. Some of the things I eat are not very pretty to…

Back to “om”
I love Sundays. Especially ones filled with family brunches, getting chores checked off the list, and spending time with the people I love. Sunday flowers: We ended up doing a lot yesterday, and when I went to upload pics from the day.. there were only three. One of Bella patiently waiting for a green bean…

“Three Great A’s” Pizza
Before Liv was a twinkle in our eyes, we talked about how we would introduce our children to the three great A’s: avocado, artichoke and asparagus. I’ve always wanted to combine them into a dish, but thought they might taste weird together. But pizza? You can put anything on a pizza. This combo was RIDICULOUS.…

Quick shrimp and quinoa stir fry
I took about 30 minutes yesterday to prep some goodies for the week: Ballz Steamed eggs and quinoa and dinner was one of those one-pot wonders where everything came together to make a delicious, quick and satisfying meal. I just threw some ingredients into the pot, said a silent prayer to the cooking gods, and…

“Wow, that was a really bad meal at Guadalajara Grill.” -No one ever Liv and I met the Pilot at G Grill when he got off work this afternoon. We shared spicy table-made salsa and chips, had a date with our friend ‘Rita, and I enjoyed the Guac-o Tacos while he had the lobster-stuffed salmon.…

I was like Christmas today. First, I got to sleep in. The Pilot has been flying and working nights all week, so I haven’t seen him very much. He got home past midnight last night and we were all in bed, I gave him a groggy smooch and passed back out, and this morning, I…

It’s a stormy night over here- perfect for a rainy day workout, eh? (Thank you so much to those of you who already did the workout and left your feedback! So glad you’re loving it so far) My friend Lisa spent the afternoon over here hanging out with Oliv and myself. Lisa is from Australia…

let’s sangria away…” Yes, “sangria” is a verb now. We had an AMAZING dinner at Firefly, a tapas restaurant, last night. Last time I had tapas, I was kind of disappointed. The portions were supposed to be shared, yet ridiculously tiny (like one wonton with a little tuna on top) and we all left hungry…

Reader’s Request: Eat Clean On-the-Go
Thanks to a reader’s request, I’ve got some great tips to help you eat clean on-the-go below. One of those tips: Leftovers! I love leftovers for many reasons, mostly because 99% of the time I can throw them in a skillet, add a couple of eggs = breakfast. For dinner last night, I used this beautiful…

Liv’s favorite soup
Blogging from bed- still feeling a little under the weather, but still fighting it with everything I’ve got. (gotta love the baby bangs- after my post-baby hair loss, it’s on it’s way back) The only thing that really sounds good: Soup… and coffee. Oh, and chocolate. I have no idea why I don’t make soup…

Guess what?! I joined a gym yesterday. I’m so, so excited to have an option where I can go work out (and even take a class!) during the day. By time time the Pilot gets home at night, I do the bedtime rituals with Liv, make/prep dinner, blog and go to the gym, I’m pretty…
