New recipe post on the docket for you guys today – Almond Coconut Pumpkin Muffins! I was inspired to make these when Matt and I were stuck inside during the hurricane last week; we were lucky to not lose power so I figured I should take the opportunity to do a little experimental baking! A few months ago, Swanson Health Products offered me a Continue Reading …
Happy Election Day! Have you gotten out to vote yet? Matt and I tried to go early this morning before work, but it was too crowded (well over an hour wait) and he has some big presentations at work today he needed to be in on time for, so we decided to try again after work. We hear as long as you are in line, even if the polls close, they still Continue Reading …
Hello and Happy Halloween! Last Thursday, I had my college BFF (and one of my bridesmaids) Turner over for dinner and some serious business: The Vampire Diaries was on TV! Yes, we’re 30 years old and addicted to a show about teenager vampires. No shame. ;) For dinner, I whipped us up a delicious Pesto Baked Salmon with Veggies. Full recipe Continue Reading …
Hello friends! I can’t believe there’s only 5 days to go until the wedding! We’ve been watching the weather for Saturday like a hawk — so far it looks okay. Fingers crossed — our wedding is outside!

Into a pot he Continue Reading …

I’m loving these dinner dates — we get to catch up and enjoy each other’s company and a delicious, wholesome meal, but without spending money (and with the added bonus of clearing out the random odds and ends in our fridges). Perfect! Like Continue Reading …
Morning, friends! It’s actually a nice and cool-ish morning here, at least compared to the past few weeks — it makes me really miss morning workouts! Getting to work by 7 or 7:30 a.m. isn’t really conducive to working out in the morning… blah. I’m thinking in the fall depending on my new internship schedule I might transition back to Continue Reading …
A couple months ago, I went to a dinner gathering at my grad school friend Maria’s house — she had a bunch of us over right before we finished coursework as one last hurrah. She served us all a delicious Mexican Chicken Lasagna for dinner and ever since, I’ve been meaning to recreate it. Sunday night, it finally happened. :) One of the Continue Reading …
