Some things you may not know about the Pilot: -He minored in Italian -He grew up in Arkansas and Alabama -He’s the third generation of military pilots in his family (His dad and grandfather–pretty incredible resemblance, huh?) -He doesn’t like quinoa… or squash. I knew all of the above facts except for the last one,…

flash to Friday
It was a pretty great week. The house feels like it’s finally put back together- I can’t wait to show you pics of Liv’s new room- work was bueno (taught Barre, Tabata and Zumba in one day!), lots of time spent with lovebug, dates with friends, some Downton Abbey- can’t complain. It was a nice…

Raw jalapeño crackers
When things get a little, um… shriveled… over here, there’s really only one thing to do with them. Put them into the dehydrator! Duh. It’s where things go to die…or be born again? I’ve gotten a little overzealous with my jalapeño consumption. They’ve been thrown into eggs, salads, eaten with hummus, plain, it’s a little…

March Greens!
We spent the morning playing at the Children’s Museum with friends- it’s one of Liv’s favorite spots. [Picking veggies] Behind the scenes of playtime, the tow truck and the Pilot were on the way to rescue us.. my car decided to flip out on the way there. The coolant indicator light went off in orange…

Chicken Crust Pizza + WSU Giveaway 2
Yesterday, I was really in the mood for some pizza. Actually I’m not sure what it’s like to not be in the mood for pizza. The only dilemma: we had no crust ingredients, and Livi was snoozing peacefully upstairs. I thought of the ground organic chicken we had in the fridge: and decided to make it…

Savory Quinoa Muffins
I was in the mood for something a little different when I made quinoa muffins for the week. I LOVE this sweeter version, but was feeling like something a little more savory. Taste-wise, they were everything I wished for them to be: a mild nutty flavor from the quinoa, robust sundried tomatoes, creamy goat cheese…

Smoked Salmon Quinoa Hand Rolls
This is a sad story about some rice (but a happy story about some homemade sushi rolls). That would be the leftover rice from Pei Wei, which ended up having a slumber party in my trunk. It’s easier to forget about leftovers in the car nowadays. For a split second, I debated eating it until…

Green everything + Killer Cardio Circuit
I’ve mentioned before that I tend to suffer from workout accomplishment amnesia. This means that I’ll run 10 miles and then a week later, on my long run day, I doubt my ability to do more than 3. It shocks me that I was able to do such a long distance the week before. Anyone…

3-Minute Skinny Peppermint Mocha
Starbucks! They know me! Source I tend to stay away for the most part during the warmer months.. (which, let’s be real, is 97% of the time in Tucson.) I can make my own coffee at home, and save for the occasional iced green tea lemonade, it’s rare that I’ll hit up the SB drive…
