Pork Pozole Rojo : My Diary of Us

Pozole Rojo with Pork

It seriously feels like forever since I blogged a recipe.  I am trying to get back into the swing of things now that all the recipes in the cookbook have been completed, and slowly but surely it is all coming back to me.  Getting back into a routine with not only work, but life in general has been much needed.  

I was on a roll last week with working out, eating right, and getting back to some kind of regimen and then bam that stratchy throat feeling came at me hard on Friday.  I knew it was coming and even though I tried to drink it away with ginger tea and vitamin packed smoothies, it just got worse.  Turns out it was a nasty sinus infection and I am finally feeling somewhat better after a few days on antibiotics.  I don't know about you, but when I don't feel good I crave soups non-stop. There is just something about the warm broth that makes me feel better instantly.  My pozole rojo with pork is just the kind of soup that I want when I am sick (or not sick honestly) and I think that you will love it too!

Parks: My Diary of Us

Five Months Later...

I feel like I almost forgot how this whole blogging thing goes.  The past five months have been a whirlwind and I feel like I am finally getting back to a little normalcy around here.  Between having a baby, completing my first cookbook, and trying to be a somewhat good wife, I haven't had much time to just be, let alone blog.  I have missed this (and you) so much and cannot wait to share with you some new recipes that I am excited about right now!  For now though here's a little recap of what I've been doing for the past five months!

Healthy Turkey Bolognese: My Diary of Us

Top 15 Favorite Healthy Recipes

Happy New Year guys!  I hope that your holiday was filled with as much love and joy as ours was!  I still can't believe that it's January and a new year is here!  I have been furiously working away on my cookbook which is why I have been absent from the blogging world for the past little bit, but I figured with the start of the new year this would be a great opportunity to share with you some of my favorite recipes to whip up when I am trying to focus on my health!  And I'm guessing if your holiday was anything like mine, you are probably ready for some lighter meals...am I right?  I've got my top 15 favorite healthy recipes right here!

Spicy Roasted Tomato Basil Soup

Spicy Roasted Tomato Basil Soup

The weather has turned here in Texas, and I am hoping it's here to stay!  The nights have been chilly, the days crisp, and I've been in the mood for all the soups.  I am one of those people who could eat soup on a hot summer day, but I don't make them as much because Canean is definitely not one of those people.  This gets me really excited for fall and winter when I can make as many soups as I want!  My spicy roasted tomato basil soup is one of those soups that will become one of your favorites that gets put on dinner rotation.  It's simple, healthy, and so full of flavor that you and your family are going to love it!

Almond Crusted Chicken: My Diary of Us

Almond Crusted Chicken

You guys, this whole trying to get things done thing with a newborn is way harder than I anticipated.  I had big plans on being back fully into blogging mode and thought I would be back to whipping up recipes in the kitchen by now. I am back making simple dinners for us in the kitchen and am managing to get a little work done here and there, but am by no means back to my regular schedule just yet.  Luckily I had another recipe ready to go that I photographed pre-baby!  My almond crusted chicken is super healthy, easy, and just the kind of recipe that I have been making the past couple of weeks.
