It’s already starting…

After a night of partying and piñata-smashing, I hit the snooze button a couple [more] times this morning. After making breakfast for the birthday boy and he left for work, I made some pumpkin oats. (Love that the 1/2 C scoop is a pumpkin!) Since it’s a special occasion –even though I’d do this on…

Little goes a long way

Hi 🙂 How are ya? Hope your morning is going well. Our house smells like a nori nacho paradise, so things are good over here. Quite a few of you were wondering how those Alexia sweet potato puffs were… the verdict? They were fantastic, but the chipotle fries will always be #1. The bottoms were…

Get me to the Greek

Festival 🙂 Hiiii. How was your day? Ours was busy, but a perfectly wonderful Sunday. In between doing house stuff –I cleaned and the Pilot installed a new showerhead- we took a break to hit up the Tucson Greek Festival, since it was the last day. I haven’t been to the Greek Fest in quite…

Chips and Dip

Hiiii 😀 How are you? Late night blogging tonight! It was the kind of night where I just needed to take a minute to let my brain defrost, and cozy up on the couch with some chips and dip (aka hummus and raw sweet potato chips) 😉 [+ a creeper smile and a begging maltipoo]…
