My family has this quirky little Christmas tradition. We eat Mexican food. Every year. But not just any Mexican food. Mexican Pile On. Forget the tacos. Forget the burritos. We just want the insides. A big mushy bowl over a pile of chips, thankyouverymuch. It is also worth mentioning that this is usually a meal … Continue reading »

Home for Lunch
Hello Lovelies! How were your Wednesdays? Mine went swimmingly – fairly uneventful in my world. (see below for the very eventful moment of my day). Let’s start with breakfast… A toasted cinnamon-raisin English muffin – it doesn’t really get better than cinnamon + raisins + bread I had an apple and peanut butter while teaching … Continue reading »
The Last Hurrah
Today was my last day of summer vacation. Waaaah! Actually, I’m halfway excited about it. Summer went too fast, but the beginning of the school year is always so exciting – the new kiddos, freshly sharpened pencils, school supplies, clean desks – a fresh start! In other news, we are (more than) a little tight … Continue reading »
Monday Morning
I’m glad I’m not alone in my adoration of summetime. It really is the best season, and no one can convince me otherwise. I started out this day with ½ a mini watermelon and some blackberries. Coffee on the side. A beautiful breakfast. About an hour later, Punky and I went for a run. We … Continue reading »
Leftover Salad Central
Wow…that spin class this morning was ridiculous! There were only six people in the class, and everybody was huffing, puffing, and dripping sweat for the entire 60 minutes. I loved it, and I love that it left me with a monster appetite for the rest of the day. Before I left, I had a homemade … Continue reading »
How to…
Build the perfect taco salad! Start with a bed of lettuce, and then pile on the toppings… My personal favorites include homegrown tomatoes green onions, CILANTRO (my fave), red peppers… Homemade guacamole is a must and the best salsa in the world doesn’t hurt. Add some sort of protein, and then pile it high… I … Continue reading »
Google It Up
I started this morning with a lot of moving. At 5:00am I walked the dog. At 6:00am I did some weight lifting, and at 7:00am I walked to school. The morning was so pleasant that I just didn’t want to stop enjoying it. However, lots of moving leads to lots of hunger. One egg, salsa, … Continue reading »
I love my food processor
Ahh, weekends are so nice. I did my share of relaxing/laying around today, and have managed to pepper in some wonderful food. Upon waking, I laid in bed for 45 minutes and read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I’m only about 70 pages in, but I’m already intrigued. When I crawled out of bed, … Continue reading »
Taco Tuesday
Hola amigos! How was your day? Mine was quick, and that’s never a bad thing. Per usual, I started it early with a walk with the dog, a quick breakfast, and then a walk to school. I was in the mood for sweet (honestly, when am I not?) and this breakfast hit the spot. A … Continue reading »
If all I had to do was teach…
Ahh!! I’m up to my eyeballs in end of the year things. Wrapping up the school year means two things: crazy kids and assessments. And those two things don’t really get along. I’ve got RTI and MAPS scores to figure out, ILPs to update, DRAs to grade and enter, IEP kiddos to worry about….all on … Continue reading »
