Dinner
Slow cooker shredded Mexican chicken
A glass of wine and jammies = pretty much the best way to cap off a Monday night. Or any night, really. When are you too old to wear the PINK collection? Actually, don’t answer that. Some other highlights from the day: –The Schweaty May workout Mom came over in the afternoon to hang…

Sometimes it feels so good to hang around the house in jammies and do nothing. Since the Pilot was off work yesterday, I was happy to celebrate a slow day with him 🙂 He let me sleep in and then I took care of Livi while he took a long morning nap. Around 12, we…

Stuffed chicken
Thank you so much for your sweet comments about the Fitness Magazine win and to those of you who entered the cookbook giveaway! I was cracking up reading your kitchen disaster stories. It made me feel better because I have them fairly often 😉 Congratulations to the lucky winner: Please send me your info (fitnessista…
Read More →Pretty pizza
Pizza and wine… maybe one of the best combos ever. Hand me a pizookie and it would be my dream meal. Last night, we poured some wine, set out the supplies and made “his and hers” pizzas. The Pilot rolled with garlic and herb crust, marinara, pepperoni and cheese while I made mine with gluten-free…

10 Ways to Crunch
Crunches are a key part of any ab routine, but it’s good to expand beyond the basic crunch to get the most benefit. Pairing crunches with other ab exercises is a winning combination, so check out this 5-minute ab workout or this barre ab burner for a balanced routine. For this post, I’m going to focus…

Hi friends 🙂 It’s almost the weekend! I’m so glad you liked the back workout– let me know if you give it a try! Since the Pilot and I are both (still) feeling a little under the weather –please be allergies- we had someone else do the cooking last night. Soup and salad FTW Treat…

Will shake for chicken. Would probably sing an aria whilst riding a unicycle for chicken, but you know. Another lovely Pilot-grilled feast: I prepped the food and when he got home, he grilled it up while I did the baby bedtime rituals. We had dinner before 8pm, and it was awesome. Wilted some kale on…

Smoothie weather! Nice to see ya. It’s easy to complain about the heat when you live in the desert, but I say bring it on. I may change my tune when it’s 115* and my eegee is melting faster than I can drink it, but for now, I will relish in the toastiness, Drink lots…

Fresh laundry = Bella’s favorite pillow This is why it’s so much harder to put it away.. she just looks so comfy. Hope you’re all having a happy Monday so far! My last post could have used some text to go along with the pictures, but kept it wordless in the spirit of my Sunday…

After teaching today, I was ready for a giant Oregano’s salad. Not just a “someone got heavy-handed with the lettuce” salad.. a “feed a family of 4” salad. Except the family of 4 was my face. Chicken, romaine, pine nuts, sundried tomatoes, kalamata olives, roasted red peppers, soaked raisins (my favorite part) and balsamic…

That song has been stuck in my head ALL DAY. I just love it 🙂 The only wild animal picture I have today: So there ya go. Later this afternoon, the Pilot, Liv and I headed to the mall to get my bro’s birthday presents- he turns 17 tomorrow! He’s always been so “little” to…
Read More →Nudge Fry
Apparently I need to work on my stir fry skills. I guess you need to flip and stir with vigor? I just munched my kettle corn and pushed the veggies and chicken around in the pot (we don’t have a wok). The Pilot mentioned my “nudge fry” skills… but stopped teasing me when he ate…
