This week started out a little rough, I am not going to lie. Parks had his first tumble and hit his little nose on the coffee table pretty good leaving a little bruise and scrape and basically scared me to death. He was fine after he calmed down, and I on the other hand was shaken for the rest of the afternoon and was sure we needed to go to the doctor. It was a long day , and on days like Monday (or any day really), easy dinners are necessary and there isn't anything more simple than whipping up a fantastic salad. My pear, goat cheese, and pork tenderloin salad is literally on weekly rotation in our house and you are going to love it too!
I love burgers. In fact, there are few foods that hold a more special place in my heart than that of a burger. True story, but unfortunately most burgers do not go hand in hand with my "get back to pre-baby body" game plan. I did say most burgers though didn't I? Well that is because one of my favorite ways to satisfy my on-going burger craving is to fix a turkey burger in place of the traditional beef burger. My easy baked turkey burgers take care of my cravings without killing my diet.
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!
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!
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!
Hi guys! Are you wondering where I have disappeared to? Well, I have a good excuse I promise! I am so excited to share with you a wonderful opportunity that I have been given! I am officially writing my very own cookbook to be released Fall 2016!
