Toes in the grass
It was a day full of good things. First off, I found a new {air-conditioned!} place to take Liv during the day: the library. I had a card in Orlando since I loved to borrow books on CD for long commutes, but forgot to get one a new one in Tucson. We remedied that today!…

Wait dance
Hey everyone! I’m sorry for all of the blog down time yesterday. The blog crashed the server, so the hosting company shut it down. My awesome web wizard was hard at work fixing the problem and making changes, and since I’m not techie at all (if I touch the blog, something catches fire and then…

Not a bad view
I’ve been on a protein pancake kick lately. I realized they’re just as quick and easy to make as my beloved egg burrito, and keep me satisfied for a long time. This morning’s batch accidentally had about a tablespoon of baking powder, since I kind of stopped measuring things. I tapped the can a little…

This post is dedicated to the existence of the slow cooker. Without you, we’d get takeout a lot more often. Leaving for work this morning was a little on the hectic side. I ended up getting my first class covered so we could take Liv to the pediatrician -her eye was looking a little funky…

Tempeh Taco Lettuce Wraps
Doing the same thing all the time can get a little boring, even if it’s something you like. Take tempeh, for instance. Tempeh-as-bacon is my usual favorite way to enjoy it, but I was looking for a new way to prepare it. The result? Tempeh tacos! Not just any tacos–lettuce wrap tacos! Does that make…

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…

= National day for tamales with eggs and beans for breakfast It’s a good combo in the morning if you’re, um, moving a little slowly after the previous night’s festivities. Things didn’t get too crazy over here –I just had a couple sips of margarita- but we had a blast hanging out at our friend…

Fiesta Friday
Hi friends! Happy Fiesta Friday. Any fun plans for Cinco de Mayo weekend? We’re going to a party tomorrow when I get off work- trying to decide which sweet treat to bring, along with some guacamole and cheeps (= chips). If you’re partying this weekend, here are some of my all-time favorite Cinco-appropriate recipes: –Enchiladas…

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…

The Pilot’s girlfriend
I’ve gotten a few requests about giving relationship tips, dealing with deployments, how the Pilot and I keep from fighting, stuff of the like. My only real relationship tips are: you’re a team, don’t nitpick the little things that don’t really matter, and do something everyday to show the other person you love them. As…

I’d like to take a second and thank…. -our neighbors, who brought over the best enchiladas I’ve ever had. A bold, very true statement. (Savored it- cheese and all. If someone makes the tortillas and sauce from scratch, you need to have the full experience. I wanted to curl up and live in that enchilada)…
