Liv’s favorite soup
Blogging from bed- still feeling a little under the weather, but still fighting it with everything I’ve got. (gotta love the baby bangs- after my post-baby hair loss, it’s on it’s way back) The only thing that really sounds good: Soup… and coffee. Oh, and chocolate. I have no idea why I don’t make soup…
Read More →Tomato tea and massahhhhhhhge
Most of my meals today have been out of a bowl. First, this morning’s oats, and then this afternoon’s stellar sniffle remedy. Tomato tea! Whenever I start to feel under the weather, I usually try to fight it by upping my fruit and veggie intake, fresh juices (Liv and I made a Whole Foods run…

Lemon-mint lentil salad
I have a not-so-secret for you: I love salads. They are so many possible ingredients, they’re super filling, and an easy way to get in fruit and veggie servings. I prefer making them at home because restaurant salads are often sad, small and wilty. With at-home salads, you can control how sweet/savory/iceberg lettuce-free and beastly…

That’s a spicy ‘rita
Another amazing date night with that one good-looking guy I snagged over at Starbucks. We dined at Acacia, which is quickly becoming one of our favorite spots. They have a great mix of the things we love, fantastic drinks, and locally-sourced organic produce and meat, which is a bonus. Since our last Acacia dinner, I’ve…

Before I start this post, I have to say that Livi crawled FORWARD today. I’m such a proud mama <3 The best part about having a beautiful meal cooked by others? Leftovers. (Please to excuse the crazy hair) I came home from work on my lunch break and was so stoked to see some pasta…

It just started raining, thundering and lightning… not bad weather to write a blog post (take a nap, watch a movie, drink hot tea.. or all of the above). (I tried to get a good picture of the raindrops, but instead all you can really see is our play set that should be condemned) Before…
Read More →Raindrops on cacti
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…

Monsooner or later
This year’s summer monsoons have been a dud so far. Every afternoon, the clouds creep in, looming and promise an epic rainstorm, and so far it’s only been a few sprinkles here and there. Last year’s were so amazing, I really can’t complain, but I’m excited for some real monsoon action…. especially since that means…

Chillin’ at home for lunch break, eating a chicken burger the Pilot made me (on toast with kale, mustard and ketchup) going over choreography and chiseling away at an eegee nana left in the freezer for us. (thank you, friend!) I’ve had a great morning teaching, and Liv and the Pilot have had quite a…

Weekend: nice to see ya again 🙂 Anything fun going on? We have absolutely nothing on the agenda, except teaching tomorrow. I love it. Congrats to the Summer Shape Up team for rocking out another amazing week- you’re halfway there! I hope you’re already seeing results from your hard work, and thank you again to…

The Pilot came home early from work today! He had to fly balls early so he was finished with the day earlier. I was grateful because I forgot to switch the carseat base from his SUV back to my car, so Liv and I just chilled at home with Bell today. Lots of songs were…

Chickpea Cakes with Indian Spices
Last night we had an amazing dinner at Saffron–my favorite Indian restaurant in Tucson. We left in curry-food comas and I was inspired to create my own meal using spices reminiscent of our experience: Chickpea Cakes with Indian Spices Our date night mentality has changed a bit after having a little one. The Pilot used to ask…
