a food journal
Sometimes, it’s the simplest things in life that make me the happiest.
That first sip of hot coffee on a cold morning (from the 56th adorable Target mug you just had to have). The way the sun hits my son’s eyelashes “just so.” The feeling of crisp, clean sheets. The smell of melted chocolate. The way my dogs always know when I need an extra snuggle….
Say hello to everything I ever needed in a salad.
This salad, you guys. It’s so simple yet so delicious…I can hardly believe how well it came out. It was one of those pleasant surprise recipes. You know what I mean? You knew it was going to be good, but you had no it was going to be THIS good. That is this salad for me….
I’m switching things up a bit today.
You see, normally for a long holiday weekend (especially Memorial Day – aka, the unofficial kickoff of summer), I’d plan chips, salsa, and a boatload of margaritas. Margaritas are definitely my hot weather cocktail of choice, and probably my favorite boozy drink all year round. So, while I could stick in my comfort zone and share another recipe for margaritas, I’ve decided to take things to a more tropical place. And I’m not mad about it….
Whew. I am in need of some freaking green foods today.
I spent the weekend away with some of my closest girlfriends, and we packed our schedules full of eating, drinking, and dancing. Lots of cocktails were had, along with even more laughs. It was wonderful….
