It was closet clean out day! One of my summer goals was to clean out my closet so that it's not only easier to get ready each day, but because I knew there were items in my closet that I never wear. It took about 3 hours for Nick and I to clear out both… Continue reading Closet Clean Out & Summer Salads
Wednesday evening, we headed back to The Columbia for a family dinner. My older sister, her two boys, and my Uncle, met us. They all live in different parts of Florida. I started dinner with a margarita. You could taste the fresh lime juice! For dinner, I got the Palomilla. It's a thin steak, topped… Continue reading Gluten Free in Florida: More Cuban Food, Le Macaron, & One Last Beach Morning
Monday it finally cleared up a bit so Nick and I headed to the beach. We spent all day lounging, swimming in the ocean, and taking walks along the shore.

I ran along the road next to a park… Continue reading Gluten Free in Florida: Running, Reading, and Vertoris Pizza!

My mom grew up there, and my family has owned a time share there since before I was born. I've gone pretty much every year of… Continue reading Gluten-Free: in Florida
Sundays are our grocery shopping days. I love to plan out the week ahead, and it not only saves us money, but ensures that we are less wasteful with what we bought. I always make sure to eat something before heading to the grocery store, otherwise I end up on the chip aisle, and it's all… Continue reading Weekly Planning: Grocery Shopping & Meal Prep
Yesterday was really busy! I'm still able to work from home on Thursdays, which is amazing, and I always seem to get a ton done. Before I got to work, I whipped up a quick batch of gluten free buttermilk biscuits. It seriously is such an easy recipe it only took me 15 minutes to… Continue reading Gluten-Free Buttermilk Biscuits, A Visit to the Dog Park, and Lots of Reading
Full disclosure, these are not "healthy" cookies just because they are made with oats and don't contain any flour or oil. They are however, amazing. I was in the mood for something sweet on Saturday afternoon when I came across a recipe on Pinterest by O to the No. I loved that I had everything… Continue reading Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
