Swim in sorbet

Iโ€™m more of a cake girl (or pizookie girl!) than an ice cream girl, but twice this week, Iโ€™ve fully appreciated the beauty of sorbet. The Pilot and I took the family on a walk and then walked over to Frost for a little treat. Mango sorbet for me: Bella had vanilla It definitely stayed…

Hey, hemp

Another one of these hilarious videos: (I still like the originals and the yoga one the best) It definitely came to mind when I busted these out a couple of days ago: hemp seeds! Long time, no see. When my doc recommended upping my fat intake, hemp seeds was one of his suggestions as theyโ€™re…

Hi, Thai

Dinner by the bro

As much as I like getting dolled up for a night out, I also appreciate the places where I can wear lululemon and moccasins. For dinner tonight, the Pilot and I went to one of the restaurants at work. Since itโ€™s a health resort, there is an amazing abundance of healthy options. Itโ€™s lower on…

Rice investment + a NEW leg burner

Iโ€™m pretty sure our rice cooker has paid for itself already. I picked it up at Costco for our housewarming party, and since then, have used it countless times for various grains- it makes beautiful quinoa.
