Dinner
Red and green quinoa lentil salad
I’m going to go ahead and blame my tiredness on the weather. 46* and raining all day. That’s gotta be it. Almost every day this week, around 6 pm, I’ve hit a wall. I’ve done a pretty good job fighting through it, but as far as cooking/dinner goes, it’s been a little rough. Lots…

Verdict on the car front: negative. It needs about 7 things done in the nearish future (3 are immediate), so looks like we’ll be getting the necessary stuff fixed and trading in Betty this weekend. Thank you for the SUV suggestions! They were so helpful and I’ll be sure to let you know what we…

We found out Christmas lights are a major to-do in our neighborhood. We’re really happy with how our interior decorations came out –so festive!- and the Pilot put up Christmas lights for the first time. He did an amazing job, and we have a single strand of sparkly lights on the roof. I was in…

San Diego created a monster. I had my first Thai experience, and since then have been dreaming of wrapping everything in rice paper and dipping it in peanut sauce. So when I was trying to figure out dinner last night –we usually go out, or get takeout on Saturdays- I said: “Doyouwantpizzafordinner or… would you…
Read More →The Taco Man
There’s a man that drives around base in his taco truck, selling delicious Mexican meals. The truck plays the “Mexican Hat Song” as its horn (I couldn’t even make this stuff up), and the guys on base swarm around the taco truck like a grown-up version of the ice cream trucks of our youth. The…

Turkey Treadmill Workout
Good morning, friends! Hope you’re having a Happy Monday. <3 I have a tabata treadmill workout below that you can breeze through in 20 minutes– perfect for this busy time of year! This is what happens when I don’t make dinner: That is a Pei Wei fail. See the shrimp? They’re brown and gnarly. I’d…

What a fabulously lazy Sunday We slept in and then met up with the fam at Millie’s Pancake House for breakfast. It’s pretty much the spot for brother’s breakfast, so the boys go there often, but I haven’t had a full meal there in years. Millie’s is a cute little place, and I love that…

Bella doesn’t even know what she missed out on. Whenever I ask her if she wants to go for a walk, she goes ccrrraazzzyy. She runs around, and as soon as she sees the harness, I have to catch her to actually put it on. She’s fine with the leash (and will even sit pretty…

Morning, friends! It’s our last morning in San Diego… We’ve had such an amazing time, and as sad as it is to leave, [Please come home with me, seals!] I can’t wait to watch Bella try to shake her tail off her body teach a Zumba class sleep in our own bed (even though…

I think I’d like to stay here a couple more days. Ocean, wildlife, shopping, amazing restaurants and yoga, not much more that a girl could ask for 😉 But I can’t help but wonder, does the novelty wear off? Friends that live in exotic or beachy locales, does it still feel as magical as it…

I’m not sure why I waited 27 years to try Thai food. I’ve heard good things about it, but never got into it for some reason. Well now that I’ve finally crawled out from under my rock, I finally understand what the hype is all about. We were looking for somewhere casual to eat last…

It’s a slow morning over here! [Bella was mad for the lack of recent blog face time, so I had to remedy that. Sorry, Bell] The Pilot and I were feeling adventurous and decided to pry ourselves off the couch from watching X Factor and go out and do something last night. Cocktails and…
