Guys, peep this Mexican quinoa recipe from Pinterest! I would have taken pictures of my own, but despite it tasting delicious, it just didn't look as pretty as it did online. It was super easy and it feeds 4, which means I've separated it and plan to bring it for lunch this week. Quinoa is such a healthy alternative to a rice, since I've been on a health kick (20 pounds down! hooray!) I've tried to eat more of those damn "power foods." Anyway, click on picture for the recipe and let me know what you think!Having this for lunch makes the first day back to work a little easier, but I'm definitely missing my family. One week of baby cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents - a messy, very loud, kind of love. I soaked it all up and it's left me feeling very whole. A few photos below:
Lots of bike riding, dance class watching, hiking (Letchworth, NY), pool swimming, laughing and loving. Feeling very grateful this Monday! But, admittingly, a little anxious. I'm an anxious person and with work on the horizon, I was anxious this whole weekend. Everything bothered me, from my closet (NO CLOTHES THAT FIT ME), to a general lack of sleep - I literally drove the struggle bus.
Speaking of my closest, I bought a few items to hopefully tide me over during this weight loss journey and I'm pretty excited for them to get here. Just a few casual closet staples:
1. Cute tees from J.Crew Factory, here and here.
2. Basic tee from Old Navy and a fun maxi skirt!
3. New Toms [because I managed to fall off my bike into the mud last week....]
Buying new things is always fun, amirite?!
Happy Monday, all - here's a few additional internet findings to help you get through the day:
- A fun, relaxing getaway - sign me up!
- Yummy overnight oats
