The heat is back, so I tried to make dinner without using the oven. I did use our toaster oven (we have a mini size) a few times. I had leftover Rotisserie chicken from the weekend that I shredded and mixed with our favorite BBQ sauce below. I used the chicken BBQ meat to […]
Last week’s family meals had lot of greens. However, it was just my toddler and I at the table for most of the days, as the hubby was travelling at the end of the week. We hosted my mom and brothers this weekend. We had plans to go the beach and had our picnic food […]

One of the things I enjoyed the most during wedding planning were the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) projects that I completed. I love doing arts and crafts, I love the creative process and I love that I can see the finish product right away. When our wedding guests arrived in Puerto Vallarta, we gave each of them […]
The readings, the words we spoke…everything in our wedding ceremony had special meaning. It wasn’t traditional, it wasn’t too serious…it was us. We incorporated a few things that was special to us. We tailored our vows with some of our own words. Even though I didn’t meet our officiant until the day of the wedding, we […]
I did a lot of fun things this weekend. I got to hangout with my L.A. blogger friends, spend time with family and a much needed stress relieving night out where Chris and I spent laughing our butts off watching Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel at the Wiltern Theatre in L.A. I cooked and I baked too. […]

Weekends are for waking up late and then making almond flour waffles to start out your day. Weekends are for being at the pool all day. Weekends are for spending time with my niece and being surrounded by her cuteness all day. Weekends are for enjoying ice cream. Weekends are for long and leisurely runs […]
The ugly part of this post is towards the end. But first, lets talk about pretty and delicious desserts. During my POM dinner party, I made some treats that I gave away with my party guests goodie bags. I was inspired by Heather’s Maple Nut Oaties and adapted these from her original recipe. POM, Chocolate […]
I am so glad I took the time to cook and bake some food before the baby arrived. It has really helped me to continue to eat healthy food after we brought our new baby boy home. Sometimes food is the last thing on our minds, while we continue to learn and adjust to our […]
It’s so easy to get caught up in our every day routine and stress brought on by our job, school, family and etc. We often take a lot of things for granted. We should realize that a lot of the simple things in life are the ones that brings us the most joy. Lately when […]
