Caramelized Onion, Apple, and Brie Grilled Cheese

December 25, 2018 By Lane Leave a Comment

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!  And happy celebrating to anyone celebrating ANYTHING this month (I’m looking at you Christmas, Solstice, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, birthdays, and on some of these dark days we’ve had lately, I think we should celebrate just getting out of bed!).

We’ve enjoyed (and endured?) Christmas music, family togetherness and over the top decorating.  We’ve gifted, baked, mailed cards, and peopled all month long.  I’m exhausted, how about you?  I think we all need to spend December 26th relaxing with these easy Caramelized Onion, Apple, and Brie Grilled Cheese Sandwiches!

Good Food Reads: Thinking Outside the (Lunch) Box

May 11, 2018 By Holly 21 Comments

I don’t know about you, but I frequently feel like I’m in a bit of a lunch rut. Either I’m busy and forget about lunch altogether or I jam in a quick sandwich or protein bar and call it a day. One of my “grown up resolutions” this year was to make lunch feel a little more special. To make things that are tasty, beautiful, and (mostly) nutritious. While I haven’t always kept to that plan, I’ve definitely noticed that on the days I make a little more effort for lunch, I’m always glad I did. We recently reached out to some blogger friends (hi, friends!) and asked for their recommendations for new lunch ideas. Boy, oh boy, did we get some great new recipes. This week on Good Food Reads, we are Thinking Outside the (Lunch) Box. GFR Lunches

Instagram post 2193738719890873699_2160961149 Are you missing the journey because you’re too focused on the destination? .
. 
Reflecting on our travel last week. Justin and I always give the kids and grandparents some extra time together 😉😉 in Phoenix and head down to Tucson to relax by ourselves.  We hike, and dine, and lounge by the pool drinking wine and just basically reconnect 🥂. .
.
And although there is shorter way home via the highway, we always choose the backroads to get back to Phoenix-the path less traveled.  And we always marvel at the beauty of the journey.  And without fail, every year, the trip makes me think: where else in my life should I be foregoing the “fast route” for the “road less traveled”? Where else in my life am I missing out on the marvel of the journey because I’m concentrating too hard on the end goal?  The answers from various parts of my life are always fascinating and hopefully enough to help me make some changes. .
.
This might be the meaning of life right here folks.  Take the path less traveled.  The marvel of the journey might be exactly what you need. .
.
And if you’ve read this far: tell us below, What have been some of your “paths less traveled”? What lessons have you learned by taking the slow route?  We’d love to hear YOUR stories!

Instagram post 2189514848865626322_2160961149 So this is what I’ve learned.  I should listen to my husband. (And no he is not bribing me to say this-although I guarantee he’ll screen shot this and hold onto it forever). After horseback riding yesterday I was tired and wanted to sit in the hot tub (I’ve got cookbooks to read- like @halfbakedharvest’s new Super Simple) but no.  He wanted to hike. .
.
.
Sometimes when you love someone you have to do it their way, even when you really don’t want to.  And sensing my reluctance (I’m not very subtle) he picked a shortish hike in the beautiful Sabino Canyon.  We were rewarded with the magnificent beauty of the Sonoran Desert.  Worth every step.  So I have to admit he was right. And boy did that hot tub at @haciendadelsolaz feel good afterwards!

Instagram post 2188906075352564315_2160961149 So this happened this morning.  Something like a scene from the movie City Slickers (and for those of you too young to have seen this movie- go get a copy quick.). Anyhoo...now I’m a Modern Day Cowgirl.  So if anyone is looking for me, I’m out buying my new wardrobe...
.

Thanks to our amazing wrangler, Octavia who didn’t laugh at us once.  And I’m sure that took amazing determination.  And check out stories for my favorite video of all time! .

Instagram post 2188662097000596373_2160961149 I love my kids. I love my life. But sometimes you just need a get away.  And as I’m getting older I’m getting better about taking them.  Like this phenomenal weekend we’re spending in Tucson while the kids are up with grandma in Phoenix.  And @haciendadelsolaz never disappoints.  Time spent in the hot tub with this view is good time indeed! .

Instagram post 2186832100422240666_2160961149 The weather is cool here in Arizona, but that didn’t stop us!  We hiked the Wave Cave Trail in the Superstition Mountains- which if you haven’t done, you definitely should (it’s beautiful!). Here my yoga loving daughter is holding dancer’s pose in the cave while I practice my photography.  The world is full of beauty y’all!

Instagram post 2183085900930446521_2160961149 November has been a busy, busy month.  I’ve worked my full time ER schedule, developed a few new recipes, mommed a little (and one not so little), created a few blog posts, attended a wedding lunch, attended a baby shower, attended 2 book clubs, had dinner with friends, made it to my daughter’s violin performance in the musical, made it to Gaby’s intern night, made it to the Dia de Muertos celebration at my kiddo’s school, took my favorite interns to lunch at @midtownglobalmarket, had lunch with my neighborhood lunch bunch, had brunch with my favorite cardiologist, and worked on building my BeautyCounter business. And did I mention I’m ready to send out my Holiday cards?  It’s only the THIRD week of the month!
.
.
Looking forward to a weekend of relaxation and self care.  I have to admit I’m just a tad worn out.  What’s your favorite way to take care of yourself?  Mine: the bathtub. With books, magazines, and candles.  Carry on folks...I’ll be busy for awhile...

Thank you to @katrinsig for all of the advice on how to deal with tofu and rescuing me when I ran out of tahini mid recipe 🤦🏻‍♀️. Thanks to @lisasheppardpearson for forwarding me this recipe and introducing me to @unitednoodles (I’m obsessed). .

0% of my family excited about this one 🙄. 100% admitted that they liked it 😉👍🏻.
