I've done green smoothie challenges through Simple Green Smoothies before but I can't recall the last one so I decided to up my green smoothie game by drinking one 30 days in a row starting October 1st! I was pretty successful in the challenge at having a "green" smoothie or some type of veggie drink for 30 days straight. I traveled a few weekends which made it a little harder but I made due with a few juice/smoothie combos that had veggies in them. I also found an awesome smoothie shop in Pittsburgh called Salud Juicery and now I'm hooked. I have not cooked as much in the kitchen the past few weeks, but trying to get back into the meal prepping habit and do more cooking so I wanted to share some of my recent eats, including one very delicious brunch out with some friends (pictured above an amazing egg, prosciutto, and risotto cake with tomato sauce from Ghibellina in DC). I also ordered another Blue Apron box, which I have mentioned before on the blog! I was hoping to use these meals as a jumping off point of getting back to experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. This box was so delicious, you can't really go wrong with burgers on pretzel buns plus I haven't had a salmon dish from them with unique flavors that I haven't liked. I'm definitely going to keep these boxes on rotation whenever I feel like I'm in a food slump!
Yikes! Where does the time go?! I'm not sure how it's already DECEMBER! I have so much to do in the next few weeks to get ready for Christmas. I need to do some shopping for gifts, make lots of yummy treats while still staying healthy, and also spend lots of time with family and friends! I have atleast started the decorating and have up my little tree and some trinkets in my apartment. I love this time of the year except for maybe the extreme cold and blizzards that come with winter... Well since I've been so bad at blogging the last few months, here's some photos of what I've been up to, enjoy! I headed back to Ohio for a little mini vacation in July. I had fun events going on two weekends in a row and it made sense to stay there the whole time instead of trekking back and forth from VA to OH twice. It started with a fun girls night in Columbus before the Color Run on Saturday morning with the sisters, mom, and friends! It was a lot of fun and we got covered with color (which took a little while to get off....) but so glad I got to experience it! My trip also fit perfect with a Christmas in July party at Ashley and Cole's which was great. I got to catch up with some friends. After the weekend in Columbus I headed to the parents and spent the week there and had a lot of fun time with the twins. I helped babysit and went to the fair with them which was a lot of fun. It was entertaining seeing their interaction with the animals! The end of the week I headed back to Columbus to get Kyle from the airport and hung out with Brittany and Dustin before our cousin's wedding on Friday and then reunion on Saturday. The parents house was definitely full that weekend with everyone in town for the wedding and it was a lot of fun being around the whole family. The wedding was also great with good food, dessert, and a lot of dancing! That was the end of my mini OH vacay, it was a good mix of planned stuff and just R&R plus catching up with the family and some friends! Below are a few photos of the adventures I got into, enjoy! |
