Avocado Sauce

RECIPES
My coworker Chrissy told me about this amazing Avocado Sauce for pasta and I had to try it for myself. I feel like Avocados are so IN right now. Don’t you love that we have food trends?! I’m all about it! I love using avocados in recipes. They’re packed with nutrients and natural fats and taste delicious! So when I found out you can create a gluten free, egg free, soy free, dairy free (basically everything free except Goodness) Avocado Sauce…well, I...

Weekend in NYC

USA
Eric and I returned yesterday evening from a quick weekend in New York City. I flew in Friday afternoon and met E at the airport where we shared a Lyft ride to our hotel. We stayed at the NoMad hotel between Union Square and Chelsea and I thought this was the perfect location for all the exploring we did. The NoMad hotel also happened to have a super trendy bar inside called the Library and that’s where Eric and...

Just MOVE! pt 2

HEALTHY LIVING
I have always been a proponent of keeping your body in motion to stay fit and healthy. And with Austin’s picture perfect spring, I find there is rarely an excuse these days for me not to be exercising. I wrote  6 ways to healthier you a couple of months ago and my siblings read it and pooled their cash and bought me a Fitbit for my birthday! I LOVE IT. It keeps me counting. Keeps me accountable. Keeps me wanting to do more....

The Best Salmon Salad. Ever.

RECIPES
  Glazed Salmon, Toasted Walnuts, Cranberry, Avocado, and Red Onion served on a bed of Lemon Zest Arugula, lightly drizzled with Honey and Balsamic Vinaigrette Hi. Just sitting here imagining how this glorious salad would be listed on a restaurant menu. That sounds so friggin good, right? Whenever it says ‘glazed’ or ‘drizzled’, I’m sold. “Glazed Cow Brains drizzled in red wine vinaigrette”- Glazed? DRIZZLED? YA! Let’s try it! YUM. Totally kidding. But they know what they’re doing with that lingo. Ps: I’m no...

Spring Style Inspiration

Collages•OUTFITS
Happy Monday! Now I know you midwesterners experienced a little warmth over the weekend and are probably getting pumped for Spring. I’m getting pumped for Spring too. It’s been gorgeous here in Austin. Warm but not too warm. Sunny. 75 degrees.  I got a chance to read and lay out at Barton Springs on Friday. It was perfect. Now that Spring is on it’s way, I’ve been getting inspired by Pantone’s colors of the year: Rose Quartz & Serenity. I love...

Home Inspiration

OUR HOME
I’m sure many of you have thought about what your dream home would look like. Growing up, I envisioned a wrap around porch. Several bedrooms. Kids running around. Lots of natural light. A fireplace. Or two. Lots of accent colors. Leather furniture. Rustic decor… They call it a ‘Dream’ Home right? So you can envision whatever you want, no matter how unrealistic or unattainable. So if I’m playing by those rules (which DUH, I am), then we’ll also include...

Spring is in the Air!

The weather here lately has been so warm and gorgeous that I’m starting to walk with a new spring in my step.

We took full advantage of this beautiful weekend by spending as much time as possible outside. Heyyyyyyy patio weather. I like you very much. E’s parents and I met him for lunch on Friday at...
