You want fries with that shake?

Source Started the day off shaking at World Beat. Live drummers, yelling, international dance stylesโ€ฆLove. First, I had some toast and eggs with salsa and took a Pure Bar with me for afterwards. The interesting thing about World Beat is that it isnโ€™t pre-choreographed, like Zumba or Dance Trance. Each song is a particular rhythm…

Make a wish

Friday Faves

1. The meal of my childhood. On Sundays after church, everyone would go over to my nanaโ€™s house for homemade tortillas, chorizo, tamales, beans and eggs. Itโ€™s something my mom would often make on the weekends, too.. I knew it would be a good day when I woke up to the smell of chorizo. Now,…

Slow cooker chicken coconut curry

Last time I made Thai food, I almost burned our faces off with the spiciness factor. This is coming from a girl who eats jalapenos straight-up. It was borderline too much for me too handle, and way too spicy for the Pilot, who likes spicy foods, but not the same way I do. This time,…

Back in Zumba action

Zumba, how did I miss thee? Let me count the ways: 1. The loud music made my heart sing 2. It felt good to bellydance sans a giant belly 3. Sometimes a girlโ€™s gotta shake her booty to a wicked reggaeton and the list goes on. My friend Melissa taught class, and even though Iโ€™m…

All ‘choked up

Itโ€™s been wayyyyy too long since weโ€™ve had โ€˜chokes in the house: (Each little leaf dipped into Goddess dressing.. amazing) Last night, I grabbed some groceries (finally!), we had a couple of drinks: and the Pilot cooked up an amazing feast. The artichokes above Alexia sweet potato chipotle fries and perfect turkey burgers. I have…

Oh hey, BPA

Hi from the Pilotโ€™s office ๐Ÿ™‚ He had some paperwork to do tonight, so I walked around the gym track with the Kindle for a while and am hanging out until heโ€™s done working. Today was a pretty good day- far more productive than yesterday!- filled with errands and many of the things that have…

Hail, (salmon) Ceasar

It was one of those days when I wanted to work out, but the thought of getting to the gym was the only thing holding me back. You know, like getting dressed in normal-people clothes and driving there in the cold. I also hate the thought of leaving right when the Pilot gets home for…
