Dinner
Lavender and honey salmon
I never, ever would have thought to do this. Looks like regular salmon, right? Nope, it’s coated in a mix of dried lavender and honey. Best surprising combo I’ve had in a looooooong time. Since my uncle the cheffer has been staying with us, we talk food pretty often. He’s given me some great tips…

Can we just take a moment here? Two of my favorite things EVER (chocolate and vino) had a lovechild. And it is a delicious lovechild. To be honest, it was a little on the sweet side, but it didn’t stop me from having a hefty glass with the fam. Think of it like wine Bailey’s.…

Two pro chefs in our kitchen? Not a bad place to be…. While Meg, Liv and I hung out, my Uncle E and Kyle were busy whipping up an amazing feast. As soon as he got home from work, we made a Pilot sandwich… Sleepy girl went up to bed, and then the rest of…

Dinner at our house has been pretty chill the past couple of nights. Since there have been at least 10 people eating at any one time (my family is huge!), we’ve just been setting out different meal components, building plates and munching as we please. When I got home from work, my mom, nana and…

The Pilot and I have been in an excited frenzy- our family is coming in today from Key West and staying with us for a couple of weeks. We haven’t seen them in so long (my uncle since our wedding, and my aunt and cousin since we took a red eye to orlando 4 years…

It finally rained! We enjoyed the amazing sounds of heavy raindrops and thunder, with the TV off, being crazy productive and hanging out around the house. We got a lot of the baby-proofing done (will be in an upcoming family post) and as much as we enjoyed the rain, It was Livi’s first thunderstorm- as…

July 12: Tabata Thursday
Last night was one of those nights where I felt like we had nothing in the fridge to make for dinner. In reality, we had plenty of things to make, but I was hoping to open the fridge and a plate of food would appear. Instead, it was a quick Italian stir fry that took…

Slow cooker rotisserie chicken
It’s always hard to leave for work on Saturdays, when the Pilot and Oliv are home. At the same time, it’s pretty amazing that they get a daddy-daughter day each week. (Look at her face! “Yeah, just chillin’ in the pool with my daddy. You know”) Yesterday, while I was Zumba-ing, they spent the…

My skin is turning orange
Ok, salmon can’t really do that, but I’ve had a lot of it this week: It’s funny because way back in the dieting days, I avoided fats (even healthy fats) like the plague. I like to think I’m making up for lost time. Not only do they taste amazing, but I notice a huge difference…

Have you tried this stuff before? Vegemite! It’s huge in Australia, and I’ve become good friends with a girl who is staying in Tucson from Australia for a while. Yesterday, I asked her if she liked Vegemite, and she said, “I have tubes of it in my room! I’ll bring you one.” Today we had…

I did something yesterday that I’ve been freaked out about for quite a few months: (still obsessed with the sweet potato brownies) went to the dentist. In the world of medical professionals, dentists freak me out the most, especially after having a really bad experience (being stabbed with the novocaine shot 8 times !!!!! for…

Hey! How was your weekend? Anything exciting happen? We had an awesome, restful and low-key weekend over here. Yesterday, the Pilot told me to go get a massage (twist my arm, eh?) and it was probably the best I’ve ever had- my hair is still greasy from the oils, haha. After my experience with prenatal…
