{the perfect side salad}

May 19, 2023May 26, 2023 xoxostacybLeave a comment

Last month I scored last minute tickets to Rachel Devaux’s book signing in Larkspur. She released a book full of her easy, laid-back, nutrient-rich recipes, Rachael’s Good Eats.. If you follow her on Instagram, then you know. Rachel was legit the sweetest influencer I’ve ever met. She took time to give each person a giant hug, ask where you came from. I told her I live for her Sugar cleanse. Which she then flipped to the page in the book – there is a 2-day sugar cleanse that I plan to try next week! Oh and Bridger, her husband then offered to take our picture with my phone. No rush, just very chill and made everyone feel so special for coming. I could go on and on….

{air fryer bbq salmon}

March 9, 2022 xoxostacyb1 Comment

I have to be honest – I haven’t LOVED being in the kitchen lately. It used to be my thang!

A big glass of wine, music playing, cooking away in the kitchen. Kinda my way of winding down at the end of the day. I guess it ebbs and flows? Maybe I’m more of a summery kitchen lover? We’ll see….fingers crossed for my peeps. Ha!

Anyway, I saw TheBuyGuide on instagram do an air fryer salmon the other day. And the finished product looked so damn good. I had to try it out. Obvi putting my spin on it. Tried it out last night. Annndddd…

{the perfect fall salad}

November 4, 2020 xoxostacybLeave a comment

With the Fall weather we tend to go with more hearty soups + pastas. But, this girl still craves a good green salad. I’m currently hooked on arugula. It’s so pepper + delish, I can eat it daily and not get sick of it. I’m really trying to be better at sharing recipes so today felt like the perfect day to share this goody!

{peloton 30-day review}

October 8, 2020October 8, 2020 xoxostacyb2 Comments

SHOP: Relaxed Breathe ON Twist-Hem Cropped Top ($14) | Zella Studio Crop Lite Leggings

Back on July 13th, the day all the gyms in California were shut down for the second time since covid. I got a wild hair and pulled the trigger on one of the biggest purchase. A Peloton bike.

Not going to lie, I instantly had nerve turds…ha! What if I don’t use it? What if I hate it? What if it’s not worth the money? Or all the hype?

It’s been 30-days and I feel confident enough to give an honest review……

{sheet pan salmon}

August 27, 2020 xoxostacybLeave a comment

You guys – I wrote in my Intentions for the week to share a recipe. And here ya go. Holding myself to it. Last night I made my famous (not really lol) {sheet pan sausage + veggies}. I’m a BIG fan of sheet pan meals.

The clean up is key for week nights. And they’re typically pretty healthy recipes….protein + veggies.

Did I mention, I no longer have a dishwasher? I AM the dishwasher. Ha! Our little old 1950’s house has no dishwasher. We plan to do a kitchen renovation in about 6 months….fingers crossed. And a dishwasher is at the tip-pity top of my “must have” list.

I was always one to store my dirty dishes in the dishwasher. Until it was full, then run it. Anyone else?

And I made my sheet pan sausage + veggies last night, it reminded me of this salmon dish I made a few weeks ago. I snapped photos and planned to share it the next day. Then I probably decided to blog about Target or something.

{copycat starbucks egg bites}

August 19, 2020 xoxostacyb2 Comments

You guys, I hate to say it, but can 2020 get any worse? I take that back. Yes, yes it can. Everyday it’s something new + different. Not good stuff either. My heart breaks for all the fire victims.

I did see, possibly, the best covid new to date. Holy Rosary is doing a drive-thru fair taco fundraiser. I might camp out the night before. Anyone wanna join me? Save the dates 8/29 – 8/30. Holy Rosary Community Center on California Street. I’ll see you there!

On my weekly intentions, I’m going to add: Share a recipe. I miss sharing writing up yummy recipes. Then seeing you guys recreate them in your kitchen. So, I’m going to be better at it.

Anyone else is obsessed with the Starbucks egg bites? They are such a great healthy + quick option for breakfast. And I’ve found a way to make them very similarly but with your oven at home! No fancy equipment needed, just a little water bath and a muffin tray.

SHOP: Pajama Top (sized up) | Jogger Pants | Slippers | Yeti Cup

All the rules go out the window during self isolation: wanna drink at 9 am, do it. Stay in your pj’s all day, why not? Let your kids watch TV for 8 hours, 🤷🏼‍♀️ Eat all the quarantine snacks, fuck it. Do at-home workouts or sit on the couch, you do you!

We’re all just surviving🥂

I was thinking about the “things” that are legit keeping me sane at the moment. I’m sure we’ve all got a handful of must-haves. Here’s list of shit I must have or that I’m crazy grateful for right now!
