Hello! Hope you had a wonderful weekend. I had a low-key few days and wound up getting random things done (and finally kicking this cold! YES!). Though I didn't spend much time in the kitchen today, I ate the yumminess pictured above throughout my day, including pita chips and celery with homemade hummus, a chocolate peanut butter protein shake (my favorite smoothie!), a homemade granola bar, and a newbie I just started eating: Apple Pie Yogurt Bowl 1 6-oz container of Chobani plain yogurt 1 TBSP Trader Joe's honey apple butter 1/2 medium Granny Smith apple, chopped 1 Special K chocolate peanut protein snack bar, chopped Cinnamon Stats: 290 calories, 4 g fat, 22 g protein, 42 g carbs I'm loving this combo!

Recap of Some of My Favorite Thai Adventures
I'm back to my usual routine today... well, sort of. I fell asleep late and woke up bright eyed at 4 AM this morning. WHY HELLO JET LAG! I've been exhausted all day, but am hoping to be back to normal by tomorrow. Before I get back to my typical blogging, I want to do one more post about the adventures I had with Adam in Thailand. Some of these pictures are too fun not to share with you! Sea Cave Canoeing in Phang Nga Bay is one of the coolest experiences I've had to date.

We’re Off to a Fabulous Start in Thailand
Guess who arrived as scheduled late last night?! :) My Marine and I both made it through our flights with short layovers and multiple other modes of transportation without any serious delays or complications. Awesomeness, and also proof that sometimes things actually do work out according to plan! We spent our first day in Thailand soaking up the sun at the beach, swimming in the ocean and just relaxing. We were pleasantly surprised at how close the beach is from our hotel. We knew it was walking distance, but Kata Beach is literally right across the street! Not to mention that it was really interesting people watching today. Let's just say we saw (way too) many Speedo-clad men and topless women, and there were so many languages being spoken around us. I just love observing ... [Read More]
Weekend Recap + Homemade Pizza
Wow, what an awesome Presidents' Day weekend I had! It has been so great to have my best friend in town. I had my first dueling piano bar experience. It's safe to say it's going to be my new favorite way to spend a night out! We had a blast belting out all the tunes they played. We played with Harley at the beach. There was quite a bit of wine tasting... And we thoroughly enjoyed my homemade sangria. Today, I got some work done during the day while Meg laid by the pool and hung out. Then this evening we made my FAVORITE dinner. In fact, when Adam's home I usually make it every Friday night. Everyone that knows ... [Read More]
