Dinner
Inspiration time
To cap off an incredible weekend of festivities, –Christmas Eve dinner at my dadoo’s house –Christmas brunch at our house we all took naps and relaxed yesterday afternoon –I watched Christmas Story twice. Once with my eyes open, and once with them closed- and then went over to my mom’s house for Christmas dinner and…

it only takes a minute. We did SO much today! We were all over Tucson, running from doc appointments, elf errands, BX, grocery store, PetSmart… and I only took a few pics throughout the day :/ My lunch from Renee’s Organic Oven: Tonight’s dinner: (rotisserie chicken, Alexia fries and salad with beets, arugula, goat…

Nothing makes a house smell strangely amazing like the aroma of macaroons dehydrating and a pot of fresh refried beans on the stove. (I’ll probably do a bean tutorial sometime soon- they’re super easy, and sooooo good) It was an afternoon of dancing over here: I took a Zumba class at work, and a couple…

Red and green quinoa lentil salad
Along with having the fam here, one of the best things about being back in Tucson is being able to see our amazing friends, many of whom we’ve known forever. (the scenery is a bonus, too) My friend Marisa and I have been dancing together since way back in the day. I asked her if…

It was one of those days when I wanted to work out, but the thought of getting to the gym was the only thing holding me back. You know, like getting dressed in normal-people clothes and driving there in the cold. I also hate the thought of leaving right when the Pilot gets home for…

To switch up my usual long walk with a DJ dance cardio class (something about Pitbull and booty-shaking makes a day so much better) to test out out my new infinity scarf (finally, a scarf I can’t mess up! I look like a goofer in regular ones) to fight the masses at Costco (don’t let…

Santa came early! I’d been lurking the oGorgeous website since the new bags were released, and the above silver bag was on my Christmas list. I was beyond excited when my friend Cassey offered to send me one- it just arrived today. As you guys know, I hardly ever do product reviews on the blog,…

Hi friends! How’s your morning going? We’re on our second day of gloomy doomy rain over here- I kind of love it. Since I didn’t want the weather to get in the way of Bella’s walking schedule, I took her to walk indoors to PetSmart. She starts squeaking like a little bird as soon…

As much as I love all holiday decorations and wintery things (SNOWMEN!), there’s one that’s not really my fave: Source tinsel. It’s made a comeback in the holiday decorating world over the past few years, but I can’t help but think of how hard it would be to clean up (especially with an artificial tree) and…

Last night’s enchilada’s were a little different than the usual chicken or veg that I’ll make. I’ll usually serve them with rice and beans, but last night the rice and beans were inside the enchi’s <—an idea I got from my “Cooking for Isaiah” cookbook In all my years of enchiladas, I’d never tried them…

Last night when the Pilot got home from work, I had showered and was wearing real, non-workout clothes (a feat when you’re fighting fatigue) and tonight, dinner was ready and waiting. I’m on a roll, friends 😉 The Pilot LOVES pulled pork, but it’s one of those things that I don’t think to make until…
