Week one of the new job is one the books. Done and done. I also tried out my new lunchtime workout schedule for the 1st time and I feel like it’s going to be doable. Honestly the only negative thing that was going through my mind when I was dealing with all this job stuff… Continue Reading

Home-grown tomatoes & bike rides + Indian Summer
We have had something crazy like 58 straight days without rain. That is unheard of in the Pacific Northwest. It’s been amazing. Nothing but day after day of gorgeous weather. I’m hoping it continues and we get a full on Indian Summer. Cross your fingers. And because this is it – the last time we… Continue Reading
Better with Sriracha
Um, I was going to get to write about how well I’ve eaten today but then I came home, Chris went on a run and I sat here at the counter eating chips and salsa. I am seriously a chip monster. I hate having them in the house because I just love them so much… Continue Reading

Shrimp tacos with cilantro lime sour cream & “my favorite” salsa
Like I’ve mentioned before, I love shrimp and last night when I asked Chris what he wanted for dinner tomorrow he picked shrimp tacos because he loves shrimp too. Good thing. Tonight’s dinner is probably my favorite meal that I’ve ever made. All the flavors come together perfectly and you don’t use any cheese which… Continue Reading
Spicy Shrimp, Broccoli and Goat Cheese Pasta
I love shrimp. It’s in my top 5 favorite foods of all time (pizza, shrimp, corn, cheese and peanut butter). It’s my favorite source of protein and if it was left up to me I’d eat shrimp for dinner every single day. We always buy the big, bulk bags of shrimp at Costco (not farm… Continue Reading
