Super easy and delicious dinner coming at ya! Asparagus sweet potato chicken skillet…sounds boring right? Thomas said, “it tastes like chicken pot pie”. Not sure where he got that, but it was frickin’ yummy so I won’t argue with him. Somehow this simple combo of […]
I’m honestly confused with my tastebuds lately. If you’ve read any of my previous posts you know I’m all about savory in the morning. Growing up I was always the child that wanted eggs and toast. I remember going to this breakfast restaurant near our […]
Italians love there pasta, that’s just a fact. Being that I’m Italian, every now and then I crave pasta. Thomas and I were both in the mood for some healthy comfort food so I looked into a couple of different recipes.
The shrimp and spinach pasta dish popped out at me. It looked easy to make and it was packed with protein. So we decided to give it a try.

**Note: we kept the bacon in the skillet the entire time.
Enjoy!

If you are human you most likely enjoy pizza. If you don’t like pizza there may be something wrong with you… This almond flour pizza crust has saved my life. That might be an exaggeration, but you know what I mean. Pizza is something I […]
Coconut Flour is my new best friend. These Coconut Flour Chocolate Chunk Bars are seriously off the charts. They are so moist and melt in your mouth. I would say they are the perfect combination of salty and sweet. I’m so excited to have found […]
Trying to cut back on meat? Or just looking for something new for dinner? These black bean burgers are healthy and super easy to make. And delicious!
This past week Thomas and I decided to switch things up a bit. We usually eat meat for dinner, but this time we tried something different. After watching a documentary I realized that we definitely eat too much meat. I figured it wouldn’t hurt us to go a week without meat and try some new recipes.
I found this recipe on allrecipes.com, but altered it a little bit.
Ingredients:
**Note: If you like a lot of heat use 1 tablespoon of chili powder and 1 teaspoon of hot sauce to really give it an extra kick!
Instructions:
***Note: If you have a food processor feel free to put the green pepper, onions, and garlic in there. We just don’t have one so we minced everything up and it worked out just fine.
Give them a try and let me know what you think. Enjoy!
About two weekends ago we took a trip to Cuevas Del Drach with Thomas’ cousin, Ashley. Ashley told us that her friend recommended we make the trip out there. So of course we rented a car for the day to go exploring and check out […]
For anyone that knows me they know I have an obsession with eggs. I’ve never been one for a sweet breakfast. Eggs, toast, avocado, and the occasional bacon (or chicken sausage) have always been my go-to. But after doing some research and letting my tastebuds […]
One thing Mallorca is known for is the hiking. And this isn’t just trails you’re hiking, this is full on mountains. We really didn’t mentally prepare ourselves for this excursion the other weekend, but we powered through.
Matt and Cassie (the couple we met) asked us if we would like to join them on their hike in Alcudia. One of the things I was most excited about when we decided to move to Spain was the nature. I knew I was going to see some breath taking views. So obviously we said we’d love to go with them!
This hike was seriously unreal. It was totally worth the heavy breathing and sweat. It’s funny because we were most worried about the dog, but he was a trooper. And he was always way ahead of us.
Hiking is something I’ve loved to do since I was a young girl. My family owns property in upstate New York (Catskills area). We were always going on hikes, but that’s a story for another time.
When we got to the top of the mountain in Alcudia, I took a minute to really take everything in. The sea and the sky meshed together beautifully. You really couldn’t tell which was which: “where the sea meets the sky”. Being on this adventure so far has been unexplainable. I’ve had my ups and downs, but every time we go out into nature and take time to appreciate the little things I remember why I’m here.
After the hike we decided to find a dog friendly beach so we could go for a swim, seeing as we were all dripping sweat. There was a beach up the road, but yet again we were totally unprepared for what was to come. There was really no trail to the beach so we ended up doing some impromptu rock climbing. It basically turned into another hike. It wasn’t anything we couldn’t handle, but we really didn’t see it coming.
But my Lord, when we got to that secluded beach where the goats roam free, I felt something come over me. The water was crystal clear and there was a sense of calm.
Nature really does nurture and these hikes have really helped me cope with being so far away from home. What has been even better was meeting another couple and sharing those moments with them. Thomas and I were so grateful that they asked us to come along with them.
Our photos don’t do any of it justice, but thank god Matt has a good eye and a beautiful camera.
Looking to enjoy some dessert and not feel guilty about it? Try out this Paleo Banana Bread that I made. It is absolutely delicious. So delicious that I decided to make two loafs of it because one just wasn’t enough. Thomas and I ate the […]
