How to be happy :)
I had a great conversation with a colleague the other day. He mentioned that his kids complained about being bored over the weekend right after they just got back from Disney; they visit Disney multiple times a year... lucky kids, which they don't realize. I (and I'm sure a lot of people) have never been to Disney World or Land. He brought up a great point: he's going to start asking them to count their blessings every time they complain about something trivial. I thought it was an awesome idea. Count your blessings (literally count them). There are a lot of people out there that would love to have your life so there's no point in whining about little things that don't go your way. Just be grateful & happy for what you do have. I'm grateful for: my family, bf, friends, health, having a roof over my head, and a job.

Jalapeño Veggie Egg Muffins
Easy and healthy breakfast/snack on the go. Very simple to make.
12 eggs (or egg whites if you want to be healthier)
Add seasonings to your tasting (I went with pepper, fish sauce, oregano, garlic, and miso)
Dice 2 jalapeños
Dice 1/2 red onion
Chopped up kale (as much as you want)
Diced carrots (as much as you want)
Corn (as much as you want)
Combine everything together. Pour the mixture into a muffin pan & bake. I baked my egg muffins at 300 degrees for about 15 minutes. Adjust the temperature based on your oven. You can add pretty much anything you want to these egg muffins so you don't have to eat the same thing all the time.

Crunchy Cookie Butter Ice Cream (only 3 ingredients)
A bit too sweet for my taste but it was delicious and a great 1st try. I need to add less cookie butter next time. Simple recipe below yields about 1 quart of finished product.
Blend/whisk together:
2 c half & half
1 can of condense milk (about 8 oz)
1 c crunchy cookie butter (Trader Joe's Speculoos or Biscoff Spread)
Add the mixture to an ice cream maker (refer to the manual for your specific model). I have a Rival 6 qt ice cream maker and it took about 30 mins to churn the ice cream. You want to churn it until you get a fluffy mashed potatoes texture. I transferred the ice cream into a plastic container and put it in the freezer (at least 5-6 hours). Super creamy and delicious ice cream!! I want to try making this with coconut milk next time.

Atlanta Beltline Eastside Trail
Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail & Piedmont Park have become the weekend's favorite places for the boyfriend & I. The weather has gotten a lot warmer (thank goodness!!), I'm so done with the cold. After a long week of work, it's so relaxing and refreshing to stroll around the park & trail on the weekend.
Zucchini Noodle - a new obsession
Finally got around to making my 1st raw dish thanks to the spiral slicer I recently purchased.
Zucchini & apple noodle, avocado, bell pepper topped with tahini sauce - absolutely delicious and healthy. I can eat this everyday :)
