One great thing about having a food blog is that when I want to look up a favorite recipe or get meal planning inspiration, I often can just look it up on my blog (+ lots of my favorite food blogs!).

Every now and then, I realize that there's a longtime favorite meal that I've never posted on here.

I worked throughout the morning and afternoon, and then we decided to go for a motorcycle ride right before it got dark out this evening. This was the first time I've gone riding with him zipping full speed down the highway. It was fun (and only a teeny bit scary!) to go on a thrill ride by the beach.
