Practice 10k + a giveaway- ENDED
Practice 10k COMPLETE! (not pushing the jogging stroller, though. The Pilot walked with Liv since he has a PT test tomorrow and wanted to have fresh legs) I wasn’t sure if I was actually going to do it, but my killer playlist got me through. Even with the steep Sabino incline and a walk break…

9/9: Weekly Meal and Fitness plan
Most nights of the week, especially if the Pilot is home, I look forward to making dinner. It’s a nice way to unwind from the day, and I’m usually excited to try out a new recipe. After a full day of work yesterday, and a fun afternoon with friends over watching the football game, I…

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…

Red-faced and Tabata Thursday
The Pilot is responsible for the sudden overpopulation of turtle doves in Tucson. Ever since he built the bird condo, we’ve had mama birds rotating in and out, and a constant outflow of sweet baby birds. Liv and I love to look at them when we take Bell outside in the morning. Bird house 4…

“Three Great A’s” Pizza
Before Liv was a twinkle in our eyes, we talked about how we would introduce our children to the three great A’s: avocado, artichoke and asparagus. I’ve always wanted to combine them into a dish, but thought they might taste weird together. But pizza? You can put anything on a pizza. This combo was RIDICULOUS.…

Can you believe it’s September already?! (turning leaves or bad watering job? I’m gonna go ahead and guess the latter) While it’s definitely bittersweet to see summer ending as fall begins -even though Fall doesn’t reallllly start in Tucson until at least Halloween- September always makes me think of football games, apple recipes, jeans and……

– I took tamales to work today. They were a huge hit, and while everyone was gushing about how amazing they were, I couldn’t take credit for the work. All I did to contribute was the tamale deal in the Taco Bell parking lot. Nana picked them up from our tamale man, and I picked…

Cheezy Red Pepper Pasta
In my dream world, there would be no hate, no wars, and the environment could repair the damage that has been done over time. Every day would include beautiful and random adventures oh, and noodles and cookies would be calorie-free. Actually, I have no prob with the calories in cookies. Every time I have a…

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…
