Look who scared the life out of me: At work, they’re always adding new decor, and that statue is newest addition around the corner by the water fountain. I thought it was a real, nekkid man and it frightened me a little. World beat was a lot of fun this morning. The drummers and my…

Good morning! Happy weekend to ya 🙂 Last night was SO much fun. (Don’t I work with some gorgeous ladies?)

Pizza and wine… maybe one of the best combos ever. Hand me a pizookie and it would be my dream meal. Last night, we poured some wine, set out the supplies and made “his and hers” pizzas. The Pilot rolled with garlic and herb crust, marinara, pepperoni and cheese while I made mine with gluten-free…

No AB, I cry
There’s a serious almond butter drought in our house. Hemp seeds filled the void for today, but thank goodness the Pilot is making a grocery run for some necessities while I’m back at work. When you go through at least a jar a week, it’s smart to have backup. I made a rookie mistake at…

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)…

Rice cooker Italian quinoa
Good morning! Hope your day is off to a great start <3 Waffles with almond butter and jelly over here tea snuggles and teeny grunts and snores (coming from the lounger next to me). It’s a good day. The Pilot had to fly late last night, and since he’s been the dinner chef in our…

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…

Red and green quinoa lentil salad
Along with having the fam here, one of the best things about being back in Tucson is being able to see our amazing friends, many of whom we’ve known forever. (the scenery is a bonus, too) My friend Marisa and I have been dancing together since way back in the day. I asked her if…
