Hello everyone! I need to keep this post pretty short, but I just wanted to let everyone know why I will beĀ a little absent for the rest of this week. This last week has been a complete whirlwind. I went into a local Christian school where Seth and I live to see if they had any volunteer or part time work available, and I ended up with an offer to teach English full time (grades ...

Grilled Mexican Street Corn
Hello, gorgeous. Have you guys ever had Mexican street corn before? No? Get in your car and drive to the grocery store. Pronto. Get some corn. Make this...now! This is one of those things that you just want to eat every single day of summer because it is so perfect in every way. The juicy, crisp, grilled (duh) corn kernels; the creamy, lime-y, flavorful spread; the sharp, salty Cotija ...
“One a Day” Project Update
It's been about a week and a half since I started the One a Day Project! In case you missed the last post, the goal behind this whole thing is to drink one smoothie and eat one salad every single day so that we can eat healthier and get lots of fruits and veggies in our bodies! There are several things I have learned from this experience so far, but the following is the first and most ...
Thai Meatball Lettuce Wraps
I have a new obsession. And that obsession is Thai food. It all started a few months ago when Seth and I ran in the Spartan Race that I talked a little bit about here, and afterwards went out to eat with his family at a Thai restaurant in Charlotte called Basil. So before eating at this delicious restaurant, I was under the impression that I hated curry with a burning passion. Which still isn't ...
Spicy Chipotle Chickpea Burrito Bowls
If I had unlimited money and could eat 10,000 calories a day without gaining a pound, I would literally eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner every single day at Chipotle or Qdoba. Let me describe my obsession to you with one story (I might have told this before....ALL MY STORIES ARE STARTING TO RUN TOGETHER). I'm going to preface for two seconds...literally every time we went out to eat in Georgia, ...
Crispy Garlic Smashed Potatoes
Ah, crispy, garlic-y, salty, potato-y goodness. Can I just eat you every day for the rest of my life? Seriously though...who in the world doesn't love potatoes? (Now I am talking to you...not the food.) I have never met someone who doesn't...even if you aren't a "meat and potatoes" kind of person, I feel like you still love them. And if you are saying no to this question you fall into one of ...
Roasted Apples with Cinnamon Peanut Butter Sauce
Apples and peanut butter = such a classic combo. Seth LOVES apples - we always get a huge bag when we go to the grocery store that I never think he will actually finish in a week, but he always does! "An apple a day keeps the doctor away"...he, his kids, and his grand-kids should be doctor free for their entire lives because of his apple consumption. I like the taste of apples, but the skin ...
“One a Day” Project
This post is about to be super weird because there are no pictures.....I FEEL NAKED. Here... That's better. Soooo, this One a Day project. What is it? The goal behind it is to drink one smoothie and eat one salad every single day. Doesn't matter what time, doesn't matter for what meal/snack, doesn't matter the size or ingredients. It's simple. Just one smoothie and one salad. ...
Huevos Rancheros with Grilled Salsa Verde
Soooo...the vet. I talked here about how we had a vet appointment for Boone a few days ago, and we had to put him on a heavy sedative so he wouldn't freak out when we got there (like he always does). Before we went got the the vet he was completely out - super super super tired. Like to the point where he could barely get up on the couch. But right when we got there he fully woke up again and ...
Grilled Salsa Verde
What? Oh...hello. Sorry. I was busy stuffing my face with this salsa. This tangy, bright, spicy, perfect Salsa Verde. Which is made up of deliciously grilled vegetables that are pulsed together in a food processor. SO EASY! And sooooooooooooo good. Hello there fresh vegetables. You are about to be charred and blended into the most heavenly bowl of food in my refrigerator. Or America. Or the ...
