Checking out September
Hi friends 🙂 It’s Friday! Thank goodness. What are you up to this weekend? On Thursdays, since it’s my long day at work, we usually have 3 choices for dinner: 1) Take-out 2) Slow cooker 3) Scrounge for something random. [Soup = the world’s least photogenic food] Last night was #3- some Amy’s soup and…

I could pretend that we did SO much today. But really: we didn’t. It’s funny because we weren’t lazy at all, but still didn’t manage to get a ton of stuff done. NBD, since I got to enjoy the day with the Pilot, instead of frantically running around like I usually do on Mondays 🙂…

Hi friends <3 How are ya? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. It was kind of a blah morning over here. A potential book deal that’s been in the works fell through (if anyone knows how I can gain *expert* status as a military wife, please share the secret with me), so I think I’m…

Reader’s Request: Fave Quinoa Uses
Morning! It’s almost the weekend! Kind of stoked 🙂 The chipotle black bean soup was actually a success, even though I went a little cray cray with the chiles. [Recipe is in the Canyon Ranch Nourish cookbook. I added 2 chipotle chiles instead of 1/2 t, and also a whole head of garlic.. because if…

Hi friends! How are ya? Hope you’ve had a lovely day <3 Soups on over here: It’s chipotle black bean soup from the Canyon Ranch Nourish cookbook, except I didn’t follow the recipe.. and probably should have. Let’s just say that someone got a little overzealous with the chipotle chiles (<—I LOVE this ingredient). It…

That’s how it happens
Heyyyyy 😀 How are ya? Hope you’ve had a fantastic Tuesday <3 [Bella in the sun. I told her she looks like a beach angel <— hilarious commercial] Today was a standard Tuesday over here… frantically getting everything done before I go to work on Wednesday. Satisfying bfast: (Brown rice toast with AB + 1/2…

Hiiiii 😀 How are ya? Hope you had a lovely day <3 Enjoyed reading your comments this morning about budgeting! Some of you are totally on the budget bandwagon, while others, like the college days Gina, just go with the flow 🙂 Don’t let budgets stress ya out though- it can be intimidating at first,…

Breaking in the new budget
Hiiiiii 😀 Happy Monday to ya. Hope your morning is going well! After I last *saw* you last night, we went over to the madre’s for my stepdad’s bday dinner. My contribution to the feast: Mashed sweet potatoes 🙂 I just baked about 12 organic sweet potatoes at 375* for an hour and 15 minutes,…

Hi friends! How’s your night going? We’re on a little staycation 😀 Back in May, I grabbed up a LivingSocial deal for a one-night resort getaway –thought it would be something fun for the Pilot and I to do- and we discovered that it expired on Monday. Couldn’t let it go to waste, so we…

or give me death.” I started saying phrases like this after our Philly trip. We were at Independence Hall, so of course I had to say “Give me liberty, or give me death!” [in some kind of funny weird accent…?] and on the walk back to our hotel, it turned into “Give me lululemon or…
