Mini Goat Cheese Chili Relleno Casseroles
Hi 🙂 Catching up from the long weekend? I ran my first postpartum half marathon. I’m wicked sore, but am happy to be back in the game. Thank you again for all of the wonderful birthday wishes, too! Chili rellenos were never my favorite Mexican dish. If I was going to have Mexican, which was…

Quinoa Trail Mix Muffins
Sometimes I pretend to know things that I do not… but only when I’m talking to the Pilot. “Turn left here!” “Are you sure?” “YES! Ok… no, not really.” This is partially because I like to mess with him, and also partially because when I tell him things that are indeed fact, he asks me…

Amazeballs flavor variations
I’m pretty sure there’s nothing in the world that’s more adorable than a table full of babies in their diapers painting pumpkins. Before Liv was born, I used to have groups of friends over all the time, at least once a week. I love cooking for others and entertaining, but since Liv has been here,…

Pumpkin Amazeballs
These pumpkin protein balls are the perfect seasonal healthy snack! They pack a punch of protein and healthy fat in delicious dessert-like bites. It was a low-key, laid back day- everything a holiday should be. Got the Bob tire fixed (!) took it for a spin at the dog park lunch at Chippodle (my fave…

Cranberry avocado salad
It’s rare for me to have a case of the moan-days, since I love being able to spend the day with Liv. We’ll do the usual thing (play, read books, go on a fun adventure. meet up with friends or just take it easy) and yesterday, I only had one thing in mind that I…

Slow cooker rotisserie chicken
It’s always hard to leave for work on Saturdays, when the Pilot and Oliv are home. At the same time, it’s pretty amazing that they get a daddy-daughter day each week. (Look at her face! “Yeah, just chillin’ in the pool with my daddy. You know”) Yesterday, while I was Zumba-ing, they spent the…

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…

It made me feel better because I have them fairly often 😉 Congratulations to the lucky winner: Please send me your info (fitnessista…

Banana Almond Muffins
When was the last time you had a muffin? For me, it was when we had breakfast at Ventana. They have gluten-free breads and pastries – when I saw they had apple-cinnamon muffins, I was scary excited. I love muffins and always seem to forget about them when I’m at the store. When I’m baking,…

Slow cooker chicken coconut curry
Last time I made Thai food, I almost burned our faces off with the spiciness factor. This is coming from a girl who eats jalapenos straight-up. It was borderline too much for me too handle, and way too spicy for the Pilot, who likes spicy foods, but not the same way I do. This time,…

New Ballz and Snack Links
It’s about time I expanded my amazeball horizons. I’ve been brainstorming snack ideas that I can have in the fridge, grab and eat, and couldn’t believe how long it had been since I had an amazeball. They’re a great dose of healthy fat and protein- 2 usually does the trick for me. Instead of making…
