I have one thing for you today. It’s all I can handle today.

I had a very traumatizing moment this morning at the gym.

I got an ear plug stuck in my ear!!!!!! I thought I was going to have a panic attack!!!!! Ok, I did have a panic attack!!!

LUCKILY, after a few minutes of panic (like this can’t be happening, I have 10 million things I need to do today and going to the ear doctor to have them fish out a piece of foam from my ear is not on the list, where will I even go to have something like this done… surely not my dentist or women’s doctor) and then after trying to get it out myself, our amazing receptionist tweezed it out of my ear with tweezers.

I would like to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to Marissa for saving my life today.

At the Tracy Anderson Studio we do dance cardio… we dance our butts off (literally and figuratively)! They blast the music so loud and my spot is right in front of the speaker… and I really don’t want to be deaf by the time I’m 35, so I thought it would be a good idea to wear ear plugs. But that is so uncool. I didn’t want to have big ear plugs sticking out of my ears…so I had this “brilliant” idea to cut them in half! It had been working for the last month and then ALL OF A SUDDEN, today, one decided that it wanted to slide alll the into my ear hole.

Needless to say, I think I’ll just be going deaf by the time I’m 35. Major fear of ear plugs now.

Happy Monday! XO

Time to Get Back into Cooking!

September 12, 2014 By Emily Leave a Comment

The crazy summer season is over and it’s starting to feel like Fall here in the Northeast. I know it is officially still summer (and I know my California sisters are probably still in their shorts and sun dresses) but I’m excited about sweaters, boots and getting back into cooking! Here are the recipes on my “Must Try List”:

Grilled Summer Squash & Peach Salad: I’ve got to try this one soon because summer produce isn’t going to last forever! I love the idea of adding fruit to the dinner plate. It’s so fancy but not complicated.
Roasted Beet, Goat Cheese & Honey Drizzle Tart: How colorful, pretty and different! And beets are just so delicious! Sides are sometimes so uninspiring and this is a good way to change it up!! Flank Steak: Mrs. Lilien writes one of my most favorite blogs – her graphics are fab. Doesn’t she make this recipe look so easy! Asian inspired dishes are not really a go to for me – mostly because I feel like you have to buy so many ingredients. But this looks worth a try! Honey Chipotle Chicken Bowls: Looks like a good combination of sweet, spicy, fresh & healthy to me!! Spicy Thai Curry Noodle Soup: Like I said, I’m trying to incorporate more Asian inspired dishes into my rotation. This one will be delicious to try on a chilly Fall night! Skillet Lasagna: There is always a pasta on my “Must Try List”. This is a “one skillet” recipe which means less clean up for Steve!! And it says it takes less than an hour to make! I’ve gotta try this to believe it!
Raspberry Friands: When we lived in Australia, the after school ritual was to go have afternoon tea! All dressed in our school uniforms, Patty would pick us up and we would go to one of the many cute cafes in town. Our little snack of choice was usually a friand! They are like a little muffins but they are made with almond meal which makes it a little denser. I don’t ever see them here in the US so these will be fun to try! Nutella Stuffed Brown Butter Sea Salt Cookie: Just the name speaks for itself!
