9/12: What I Ate Wednesday
Last time I posted an entire day of eats, I got a few requests to make it a regular thing. While it was fun, taking care of Liv and photographing my many snack/meals is a bit of a tricky combo. Plus… well, you’ll see. Some of the things I eat are not very pretty to…

Oh hey, fall
I don’t know what’s happening here in Tucson, but it can stay. Lately, it’s been perfectly cool and cloudy. So gorgeous that Miss Bell has been walked every single day. I look forward to our evening walks with the fam, but when it’s too hot, it’s less likely to happen. (Babywearing is hot) Also in…

Chili Mango Slushy
I have a delicious summery treat for you today, inspired by my heritage: chili mango slushy. My love of spicy food could be explained by many different factors, but I really think my addiction is hereditary. My nana eats jalapeños like they’re baby bell peppers. I live for green corn tamales -our tamale guy makes…

Healthy Baked Zucchini Sticks
Today I have a delicious recipe for healthy baked zucchini sticks. They’re perfect for when you have a hankering, but don’t want the greasy, fried variety found at most restaurants. First, here’s a bit about what I’ve been up to lately: shopping for bridesmaid dresses! Steps for Trying on Bridesmaid Dresses 1. Shop with the…

Friday, it’s good to see ya. It’s been a crazy couple of weeks! We’re wrapping up 2 weeks of night flying with the Pilot, which was after him being gone for 2 weeks, so I’m excited to hang out with him again on a regular basis. This week, he’s come home in the middle of…

All I have for ya from yesterday are pictures of my dessert: (red wine and a “baked” apple with cinnamon- a little butter, cinnamon, chopped apple, microwaved for 2 minutes) and our Bollywood costume: a gorgeous printed skirt, jingle belt and an anklet. I got to teach Zumba, assist Hip Hop and assist Bollywood- it…

Whenever the Pilot flies at night, I try to bring on the rain so that his flight is canceled and he comes home. So nice, huh? Last night, in typical Gina fashion, I did the rain dance, and the chip dance. I was just going to have a couple handfuls but then I dominated the…

8/16: What I Ate Wednesday
Wait, I’m late to the “What I Ate Wednesday” party? By how many years? Oh, well let’s not think about that 😉 I’ve never been a huge fan of posting all of my eats. For one, I’m usually racing around grabbing food as I go -to think of plating it up beautifully and snapping a…

Drank a boatload of chocolate coconut water kissed the hub, the beeb and the pup, went on a family walk ate this AWESOME egg scramble (eggs, arugula, turkey, that chili garlic sauce I’m obsessed with, goat gouda- first the arugula, then the turkey and chili sauce, move the side, scramble the eggs on the other…

Not much in the land of new healthy food ideas over here. I’ve been enjoying eggs aplenty and abusing the bag of steamed lentils from Trader Joe’s that I found in the fridge. Makes for some pretty unappetizing food photos 😉 I do have a hot bar record for ya, though: $5.99! Ka-boom. (My record…

Spicy almond butter zucchini chips
A couple of weeks ago, I got my hair Keratin-ized. It had been over a year (!) and I was so excited to defrizzify my mane. Madre hooked it up -you can read more about the type of treatment I get here– and I gave myself a kink by wearing a ponytail a couple of…

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…
