Well hellooooo again, my loves. It's been a long while since I've posted. We're moving on Friday into the new house, so things are crazy for us. Nothing from the kitchen is packed yet though, so we don't have any excuses for ordering in :) But the entire house is a mess, and it's literally killing me.
My new job has a cafe where 2 meals a day, plus dessert are served. Breakfast has tons of fruit, hardboiled eggs, yogurt, 1 fruit smoothie, 1 veggie smoothie, kolaches, croissants, and muffins every day. Lunch is sometimes weird but usually okay, and there's a dessert at lunch every day. Today it was assorted petit fours (see snapchat), but there'a also been a chocolate fountain, cupcakes, chocolate truffles, ice cream sundaes, and more. I'm getting fat y'all! Needing to reel it in at work and at home, and also step up my gym time. Going twice this week.
Monday: Meeting a friend for super early dinner, gym 8-9
Tuesday: Making Ryan grill something? Grilled fish and broccoli maybe?
Wednesday: Chipotle lime chicken, beans, okra
Thursday: Keepin it simple- out for fajitas
Friday: MOVING DAY!!!
I really wanna try making a tamale pie sometime soon- it just looks so damn good, even though it's def not healthy.

Week 17 2014 + A whole lotta rain
It is gray gray gray here. I guess it beats cold cold cold. But still, it's end of April. I need warmth, and sunshine, and all things hot. I'm starting to get cranky.
The weekend was fine weather-wise, but still cold. Two more weeks until we're in Mexico and then I can hopefully shake off the crank.
Below is our menu for the week, and we're adding a goal of gym/exercising 4 times this week. I will be happy if we get anywhere near that. So, like, once would be a huge step up.
Monday: Salmon with cauliflower soup
Tuesday: Steak and Carnitas Fajitas. Skirt steak recipe I used to do in high school. Sort of remember, I'm going to wing it. If it's good, I'll post! Carnitas recipe here.
Wednesday: Lasagna. The Stouffers kind. No judgement.
Thursday: Leftovers
Friday: Burgers and baked fries.
Saturday: Mom's in town! Probably out. Nothing planned though.
Sunday: Mariana's first communion party - no plans, but might be out in the suburbs still or do something low key in town.
What have yall got going on??

Week 16 2014
Easter! Spring! Sunshine! Patios! I love this time of year. We hung outside a lot this weekend. Will fancied up our outdoor spaces- moved the table from the back porch to the front terrace, hung up a chair swing on the back porch, cleaned up the fire pit. It was great. We went to the park twice, had popsicles after nap time, (which should be a daily thing because I can't think of anything better than popsicles after nap time), and listened to music while playing outside.
This week I'm feeling so uninspired. Don't judge me. I just needed to put the week's menu on here to make it official so I don't eat pb&j for dinner every night, which is what I want to do.
Sunday: White boy tacos (ground beef with chili powder, cumin, and groudn coriander, served with corn tortillas, sour cream, cheese and lettuce)
Monday: Chicken tenders and mac and cheese with the girls while Will is away in NYC for work
Tuesday: Turkey Burgers - I'll let Will man the grill
Wednesday: Chipotle Beef Stew with grits (I do this in the slow cooker)
Thursday: probably leftovers- Will has class
Friday: Out with the Hassbergers at The Dawson
Saturday: Grilled Brats and Turkey Hot Dogs for the girls - again, I'll let Will man the grill :)
What do yall have going on? xo

Week 15 2014 Menu
What happened to weeks 11-14? They didn't. *Cue Twilight Zone music*
Life just happened. What can I say. We were still cooking and setting menus, but I didn't post. Shame on me.
We're coming back from an amazing time in California to celebrate Cristina's 25th birthday! It was awesome- good food, good drinks, pool time, family time. It was all awesome. The highlight was when a girl fell in love with Alex at the bar and was creepily standing just outside of our circle laughing at his jokes. Polky-dots, we will never forget you!
Here's what we have going on this week:
Monday: French Onion Braised Chicken
Tuesday: Garlic Shrimp and Quinoa
Wednesday: Salmon (Lou's with Dill or Asian-inspired)
Thursday: Sloppy Joes
Friday: Out to Nellcote with some friends
Saturday Brunch: With the Hannas!!!
Saturday dinner: Leftovers + Asparagus soup
Sunday: Easter! We'll spend the day with family in the suburbs
We're also starting a vegetable chart for the girls. It's really basic, but it's a star chart to make sure they have a variety of fruits and vegetables in a week. There are rows for Red, Orange, Green, Blue, and Purple, and we put a sticker in that row if we eat that vegetable that week. According to mom (and Traditional Chinese Medicine) the goal should be weekly which completely feels attainable. Plus putting in the form of a star chart makes it fun!
My goal for next week is to try one or two new recipes.
What are yall up to this week? (Minus Eli who is prancing around California for the next 18 days!!)
