Outside the tortilla
Last night’s enchilada’s were a little different than the usual chicken or veg that I’ll make. I’ll usually serve them with rice and beans, but last night the rice and beans were inside the enchi’s <—an idea I got from my “Cooking for Isaiah” cookbook In all my years of enchiladas, I’d never tried them…

Sleeping in on Sunday is one of the best things ever. Sleeping in with the sound of rain….. even better. A French toast breakfast? The icing on the cake. I LOVE this French toast recipe. Every time I make it, I tell myself to make it more often. Super easy, and I love that it…

Yep, still the same over here. Just looking at that pic makes me shiver. Crazy to think that if the rain keeps up, the mountains will be covered in snow this weekend! SNOW. <—something I rarely see up close, but admire from afar Arizona people are kind of funny about snow and rain, since we…

Hey guys! I’m so glad you enjoyed the holiday gift guide. There are some gift ideas on the Family page, too, and I’ll post one for the dudes next Monday. It was a great day today <3 Kinda weird that the Pilot had to go to work –I got used to having him around after…

Back home from a sweaty Zumba class (got to dance with a blog reader and her family!) showered: fresh and so clean rocking my moccasins drinking tea and eating pie. Oh, and dreaming about Las Vegas. Vegas would be lovely right about now 🙂 And while I was gone, the painters were hard at work…

Gingerbread Protein Pancakes
I’m always scary exited when gingerbread makes its seasonal arrival. Source When it shows up at Starbucks, I feel like the holidays are officially here and will usually get a soy latte with a couple pumps of gingerbread. [That’s actually a hot cocoa, but you get the idea] So this morning, I decided to gingerbreadify…

I’m not sure why I waited 27 years to try Thai food. I’ve heard good things about it, but never got into it for some reason. Well now that I’ve finally crawled out from under my rock, I finally understand what the hype is all about. We were looking for somewhere casual to eat last…

BB and Oats
Morning! How are ya? Hope your day has been lovely so far <3 While I was yoga-ing my little heart out last night, the Pilot was doing some of this: watching the Wilcats dominate last night’s bball game. Tickets are pretty impossible to get, and a friend from work couldn’t go, so he took my…

Stuffed bell peppers
I got to see the sunrise this morning. While I’m not a morning person in the least –I usually wake up around 6:45 or 7, but don’t turn into a human until at least 8- it was surprising to discover that I actually liked waking up so early today. I’m not going to make…

Chili Lime Pumpkin Seeds
Last night was pumpkin carving at our house, fabulous company and quite possibly the most random and festive snacks. Grilled corn on the cob, from the farmer’s market and prepared by the Grillmaster himself hot apple cider (also from the farmer’s market, spiced up with cinnamon and nutmeg) and pie. Told you it was random…

Such a glorious fall day <3 The weather for the farmer’s market was perfection so the Pilot, Bell and I walked around to check out all of the goods- it’s been a while since we hit up our favorite Sunday farmer’s market. They had the usual fare: salsas, preserves, tea, ethnic foods, local honey, organic…

Soggy FTW
Heyyyy 😀 How’s your day treating you? Hope it’s been lovely so far <3 Something very surprising happened after breakfast this morning… Cereal satisfied for longer than it takes to refill a bowl.. again.. and again. It was my second time trying these strawberry flakes I picked up the other day: [This morning was my…
