8/30: Friday Faves
-Being reunited with an old appetizer friend: I made these sweet potato rounds for last night’s girls night, and even though it’s been forever since I’ve made them, they used to be my-go snack for parties. Super simple: cut sweet potatoes into rounds, bake 35 minutes at 375, top a mix of feta (I used…

Grain-Free Vegan Thumbprint Cookies
For yesterday’s dinner, I had an awesome picnic in mind, but the rain had another idea. So hot bar inside it was. Noodle has the hot bar routine down pat. We walk around and pick our eats, grab a drink (either water or a fresh juice) and then she looks up at me and says,…

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…

One man’s treasure
is another man’s trash? Not too much food or fitness to share this morning. I was feeling pretty run down last night -the teething monster strikes again and it’s a fierce bout- and instead of seeing the gym as a refresher, I knew I was too tired to get in a good workout, so I…

Not easy being green
I was better off staying far away from the computer last night. It was the kind of day where everything I touched seemed to spontaneously combust: I had a Home Alone moment with the grocery bags (of course, one happened to contain the eggs) I knocked Liv’s full plate of food off the table (thank…

2/15: Friday Faves
-Weekly hot yoga dates. We went to the $4 60-min class again this past week and it was glooooorious. The studio is super packed -maybe an inch in between yoga mats- it’s stupid hot, the instructor is fantastic, it’s perfect. -Tucson Gem Show. The gem show is yearly in February, with minerals, gems and wholesale…

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…

Share the love
The coolest thing happened at Starbucks yesterday! (Ok, second coolest thing since I met my husband there.) I drove up to the window to pay for our order, and the barista told me that the car in front of us had already paid for it. It was such a fun, thoughtful surprise and added a…

Crockpot chicken enchiladas
Wednesdays have pretty much become crockpot day in our house. This is because when I get home from teaching, I want to EAT… and I also want to snuggle with Livi and not be on my feet anymore. As much as I love to cook, it’s one of the last things I feel like doing…

Day of days
Or a week of weeks? (My “down time” last night was a mug of tea and painting my nails. Business on top, party on the toes) I think the universe cursed me for thinking to myself that I was so happy we made it a year without Liv getting sick. Even though we were at…

Staycay
Hi from staycation! 🙂 I gave myself a little gift for Livi’s birthday and took the next two days off work. For scheduling purposes, we have to ask for time off months ahead, and I asked for this Thursday and Saturday off quite a while ago. I’m excited for quality time with the fam and…
