Did you know that if you have red sangria on a Wednesday, it automatically makes the rest of the week so much better? It is true. The Pilot played hooky today 😉 He took a day of leave so I could go to the dentist (and then couldn’t get an appointment). He still has 90-something…

It’s been a great month so far 😉 Walking around Casas Adobes a stop at Whole Foods for almond butter, a juice and other necessities making the Pilot’s favorite dinner: and a new circuit workout. But first, has anyone seen one of these before? A Rumble Roller! When I first saw it at the gym,…

Zumba, how did I miss thee? Let me count the ways: 1. The loud music made my heart sing 2. It felt good to bellydance sans a giant belly 3. Sometimes a girl’s gotta shake her booty to a wicked reggaeton and the list goes on. My friend Melissa taught class, and even though I’m…

Remember our mystery tree? Mystery solved: they’re oranges! My mom brought one in the other day, cut it open and we shared it. Super sweet and delicious 🙂 Maybe we should start watering said mystery tree? Another fabulous baby meal: Chicken tortilla soup from my friend Meara, topped with a couple of corn tortillas, sliced…

Stayin’ alive
Many bloggers will go outside and take lovely pictures of foliage or flowers for their posts. Everything is pretty much dead over here, except for the grass and this cilantro: which I haven’t watered in at least 4 months. It’s a survivor, for sure. Also, the perfect complement to the baby meal my friend Liz…

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…

Happy Sunday! What a nice and lazy morning <3 When we wake up, Bella jumps onto the bed and covers us in puppy kisses. She’s usually very stingy with her love, except for in the morning. Whenever we sleep late (like today) she makes sure to jump up there and smack us to take her…

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…

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…

Good morning! Happy Saturday to you 🙂 Hope you’re having an amazing weekend so far. [She was in another world for that pic, but usually Bell will give me a smug face when the Pilot is petting her. Like “See? I win. Be jealous.”] The Pilot and I got a lot done around the casa…
