Weeknight Taco Stuffed Bell Peppers

Posted In: Beef | Recipes
I know, I know, I just posted a Taco Tuesday inspired recipe last week! I fully intended to have more of a variety of recipes and space out ones that were similar. BUT I just couldn't not share this one! This easy, low carb recipe is a must make if you are getting into the back to school groove, or just trying to enjoy the final weeks of summer nights without spending too much time in the kitchen! Taco Stuffed Bell Peppers would also be perfect served to guests (can't go wrong with an edible vessel!) and can easily be[...]

Our Weekend in Snapshots & Stuff My Mom Says

Posted In: Lifestyle
And just like that, it's Monday again! We are heading into a HOT week here in San Diego, so summer isn't leaving without a fight, that's for sure! We have a big weekend to look forward to (a very special Labor Day Weekend wedding) so I am keeping my eye on the prize. But before I get ahead of myself, let's chat about the weekend we just had! It was another lovely couple of days filled with fun, relaxation, and a little bit of work here and there. Friday night kicked it off in the best way possible...NACHOS! Any time I[...]

Twice Baked Potato and Cauliflower Casserole

Posted In: Recipes | Side Dishes
It's hard to believe, but it feels like summer is winding down. I don't know if it's the unseasonably cool temperatures we've been having, or that all the schools are back in session, but I am seeing fall on the horizon, which is incredibly exciting because it is easily my favorite time of the year!! But before we jump into pumpkin spice everything, let's first talk about your upcoming Labor Day weekend! (I have always felt like Labor Day weekend is the official departure of summer.) Whether you are planning on going to[...]

Homemade Chipotle Burrito Bowl

Posted In: Chicken & Turkey | Recipes
If you could only eat one cuisine for the rest of your life, what would it be? Hands down, I would choose Mexican food. First of all: Margaritas. Second of all: Nachos. Honestly, I think I could stop there- case closed, problem solved, no more need for discussion. But I will go on in case you aren't convinced. You can make a variety of delicious meals using all different types of meat (chicken, beef, pork, seafood...) You can also easily adapt for fulfilling, flavorful vegetarian options. Any cut/cooking method also[...]

Our Weekend in Snapshots!

Posted In: Lifestyle
Happy Monday, friends! How about that eclipse, huh? Was it just me, or did all the people telling you not to look directly at the sun make you want to look directly at the sun? The whole thing got a lot of hype, but hey, science is cool and I'm all about anything that gets people excited in a positive way! Anyway...let's back up a little to this weekend's recap! It was our first weekend home in a few weeks, so we made sure to enjoy some quality time with our pups, get some work done around the house, and enjoy some time w[...]

Italian Sausage Zucchini Boats

Posted In: Pork | Recipes
This low carb, paleo, whole 3o friendly meal is a fun way to use up more of that summer squash without much effort!  We are back to the daily routine after an awesome week on the east coast. I always feel so fulfilled after getting to spend quality time with some of my closest girl friends. A lot of the people I love are spread all over the country, which is a bummer, but it also makes these visits that much sweeter! Plus, my friends make some really cute kids and it is so fun seeing the difference a year makes in their[...]

6 Tips for Staying on Track When Traveling Plus 3 Workouts You Can Do Anywhere!

Posted In: Fitness | Lifestyle | Travel
We just arrived in Washington DC for a weeklong vacation on the east coast with friends and family! So much of my desire to travel is fueled by the fact that many of the people I love and care about the most are spread all over the country! I always I wish I could see my close friends and family members more often, but I do love the excuse to visit other cities and see other parts of the country. I thought that since I am traveling this week, I would share some tips to help keep you on track when away from home. Rela[...]

Hawaiian Fusion Steak Fajitas

Posted In: Beef | Recipes
When I was in Austin a few weeks ago, I made it my mission to visit my favorite restaurant in town, Hula Hut. Not only is their chip dip game strong, they have a killer sizzling Hawaiian Fajita plate. After eating my weight in chips and dip (as per usual), by the time the fajitas came to the table, I was honestly not even hungry anymore. But I was at HULA HUT and I couldn't not embrace the full experience. I regret nothing! A lot of my recipe inspiration comes from eating out at restaurants. I love the idea of going out[...]

Husband Approved Cobb Salad

Posted In: Chicken & Turkey | Recipes
We just got back from a quick weekend trip to Seattle. We went last spring and enjoyed all of the amazing sightseeing and activities that the city has to offer. However, the sole purpose of our travels this time was to meet our brand new nephew, Harrison, and hang out with his mom and dad (my brother, Nick and sister-in-law, Erin.) My mom and other brother flew up as well, so it was such a treat getting to spend the whole weekend with the fam, just enjoying each others company (and reliving funny stories from our childhood.)[...]
