I’ve become a fan of Vegas.
The one I married and the city.
We escaped last week to Vegas so that I could see Reba live in concert for the first time ever. I don’t really listen to country music anymore, but Reba was my absolute favorite for years and years. I never got to see her live, so when I heard she was coming to Vegas I HAD to go.

We’re super handy over here lately.
Don’t get used to it.
We’ve been hard-core decorating for Christmas. Vegas made a wreath for our front door and has lined the entire living room with Christmas lights. She’s threatening to leave them up all year. We’re so Southern… but at least they’re all white! 😉
I’ve been baking, working on a wine cork wreath, and brewing up some more kombucha. My scoby is HUGE! I decided to make it seasonal with the blood oranges we found at Whole Foods (where else?) this week. I ordered my scoby on Amazon – I love it so much that I featured in Monday’s gift guide post. Who wants a puppy when you can have a scoby?

It’s Christmas time!
Didn’t we JUST have Thanksgiving?
We made it back from our travels in one piece Monday night, but I feel like a zombie now. How is it already December?
Did you start holiday shopping yet? I did a little t-shirt shopping in South Carolina for me. The people at the gym today loved my Furman University shirt.

Everyone seems excited about dinner this week.
You can have my turkey.
I’ve never been a holiday meal person. Giant turkeys, honey baked hams, casseroles, mashed potatoes, that green bean thing with onion straws on top… you can keep it. Don’t touch my dessert though.
No, my favorite part about holidays is the morning after. I’m a breakfast junkie. As such, I thought I’d skip the turkey round up and put together a list of fun breakfast recipes for the family.

Pretty food just tastes better.
Unless it’s Mexican… that seems impossible to photograph well.
When Pretty Fit reached out and asked if I’d be interested in their Pretty Fit Protein Powder I was sold just from the name. Shallow, I know. I’ve been known to buy wine based on name too. After I got past that, I realized the macros and ingredients rocked too.
Having been into seriously working out and lifting for the past… errrr… a lot of years… protein intake. It’s important to take in at least 20g of protein closely following a workout to facilitate recovery and muscle growth. One of the easiest ways to do this is with protein powder.

We survived the Tough Mudder!
Was there really any doubt?
We had some doubts going into the Tough Mudder. Vegas and I were coming off a week of softball and – having done this once before – I was already dreading the Arctic Enema.
We’re terrible about getting out the door in the morning, so I made our breakfast for the road. It was an overnight creation much like this apple pie one, but with chia seeds, vanilla rice protein, cinnamon, ginger, and persimmons.

This is the fastest #strangebutgood post I’ve ever done.
Goal: Under 10 mins.
The clock has started. I’m sitting in a parking lot in Las Vegas waiting on Vegas. If you don’t think today’s recipe is strange, the writing circumstances certainly are!
We’ve been having to leave the house early lately. I’m not someone who can eat first thing. First I need my morning cocktail, coffee, and a trip to the bathroom (if you know what I mean). When we have to leave in a rush, I make my breakfast to-go so I have time for my routine and eat comfortably. We left for Vegas early yesterday, so I made this Peanut Butter Apple Pie Yogurt for the road.

Vegas has taught me to kill spiders.
It’s not what you think.
Vegas and I are total opposites in some ways. She loves living things, I can’t stand them. She brought 2 dogs and 2 birds to this marriage. I brought a house plant.
She captures bugs in the house and releases them safely outside. I scream like a girl and beg her to smash them. Until now.
