Soooo....mornin, folks! Sorry I've been a bit MIA the past couple weeks, but roll insanely busy mixed with feeling LOUSY almost all of last week and the days just get away from me. And on top of that, I wasn't very diligent with taking photos the past couple weeks or even remembering what the hell I DID each day, let alone what I ate...hahahahahaha😉. Lately anyone asks how I'm doing and my response is "Just swingin from vines", since that's EXACTLY what it feels like day-to-day😉 I'm sure, um, ALL OF YOU understand that feeling😉 Sooooooo...instead of a weekly recap, I'll just share some of my favorites from the past couple weeks and maybe a few I'm REALLY excited to try as Summer is quickly approaching. Which...
A.- 'scuse??? How the hell did THAT happen??
and
B.- I'm FAIRLY excited for. Double 'scuse. I still don't even know who I am anymore...but we've already been to visit the beach a couple times so far this spring and I. JUST. CAN'T. EVEN. DEAL with all the gorgeousness and how happy the kids are just to BE there.
(and humidity, if you could stay away the ENTIRE time?? THAT'DBEGREAT)
Some of my fav meals:
Quickest dinner that felt 'fancy': One-pot puttenesca
Throw everything in one pan and end up with a dish where each bite brings a new taste of ZINNNNNNGGGGGG??? Yes, yes and yes please.
The 'pardon the photo on my stove grate' meal: BUT this picture makes me super happy because Katie was SO EXCITED to invite a couple of friends over for our first cookout of hot dogs of the season that she actually helped me clean almost our ENTIRE back porch (all while singing "I just can't wait to be King"...which was ADORABLE)...weeeeee! Not to mention: CLASSIC summer fare...
Pasta salad recipe from Pioneer Woman, which I made last summer and have thought about ever since. It's THAT perfect😉
We also made THIS PIE for the cookout and um, also PERFECT...
What will probably become a staple recipe: Lauren Conrad's Easy Enchiladas
My love for all things Lauren Conrad and her perfectly filtered life runs deep, so it was no shock that her absurdly easy enchilada recipe was not only easy but PERFECTLY DELICIOUS. Poaching the chicken in the salsa kept it super flavorful and extremely tender. I upped my game just a bit by finding a small loaf of premade cornbread in the freezer and stuffing it with said enchilada chicken. My photo does NOT do it justice for how PHENOMENAL THAT was😉
My current breakfast & lunch obsession:
+ strawberries + chopped almonds (or peanuts) + ground flaxseed + a sprinkle of granola. This used to be my spring-y/sunshine staple (how is that blog post from SEVEN years ago???), but haven't really had it in YEARS. And, just like most things, I get reacquainted and then get re-obsessed and have it a million times a week😉 I've had both the nonfat & whole milk variation of the yogurt and honestly can't say I notice much difference once you add all of those toppings.
Other meal-prep lunches:
Both made on Sundays, portioned and set for the week ahead. And BOTH were delicious!
Healthier indulgence: Chocolate Orange Chia seed pudding
So ya'll know my LOVE of chocolate on MOST days of the week, which I obviously think is FINE...BUT here's a great way to satisfy that craving while staying a LITTLE bit more on the healthy end of things.
Favorite Workout: Tone it up Sandy Sweat HIIT
I'm so obsessed with this one at the moment that I COULDN'T WAIT to get back to it after recovering from feeling lousy. 15 quick minutes + I'll throw in 15 minutes of dance and it feels like a full body, excellent muscle/cardio combo.
And a few things I'm excited to make with the Summer on the way!
This picture makes me straight up giddy.
Further making me question who I'm becoming😉 But it's just so purty!
How perfect are these?? I might just be able to get behind the whole 'fruit for dessert' thing with these adorable little babies! Plus, I'd love giving these to the kids.
I can't even DEAL with how adorable this is...PLUS we are a dirt cake lovin house and Katie will FLIP for this adorable variation, I'm sure😉
So while Googling the above recipe for Pioneer Woman's macaroni salad, I also stumbled on THIS one...and if she's saying THIS is the best?? Well, YOU KNOW it's worth trying!
Well, that's a colorful wrap! I'm planning to DEFINITELY be back on Wednesday since I have two current 'mental weight loss' topics that I'm dying to discuss. Here's to finding time to bang out these keys😉 (hold me...😉)
