I love summer with all the fresh veggies from my garden 🪴 it makes dinner taste 💯 times better 😛 for dinner tonight we had bruschetta chicken, bruschetta lentil salad, and grilled hatch chilies!

🍅 chicken: marinate for at least 1 hour in balsamic vinegar, olive oil, parsley, salt and pepper. Grill and at the end top with mozzarella.

🍅 bruschetta: place 1-2 pints of cherry tomatoes in food processor with tbsp olive oil, handful of basil, 2 fresh garlic cloves, salt and pepper. Pulse.

🍅 hatch peppers: cut in half, toss with olive oil and salt and grill

🍅 lentil salad: 2 cups cooked lentils (I get the pre-cooked ones from Trader Joe’s and stick them in my freezer), feta cheese, basil, salt, diced tomatoes (or you can add a little bit of your bruschetta mix)

🌶 at the end plate everything and top your bruschetta on plate!

One of my most favorite soups🍂 POSOLE which is a pork and hominy soup 🍲 PERFECT for that comfort food dinner night. I place everything in the crockpot the night before and put in the fridge for the morning when I’m ready to just plug it in 👌🏻

3-4 lb pork roast shoulder boneless
24 oz salsa verde
12 oz can diced Ortega chilies
1 medium yellow onion diced
2 cups chicken broth
2 - 25 oz cans hominy
2 jalapeños diced and seeds removed
Handful cilantro
- place everything into the crockpot and cook on low for 8 hours. Take pork out of crockpot and shred. Place back into crockpot and can cook for another 30 min to one hour. Enjoy topped with fresh avocado, cilantro, and a dollop of daisy if you’d like. Enjoy!

One reason I’ve been pretty much MIA from insta is the fact that so much has happened in such a short time. David and I are now home owners and boy have we been busy! Just when we think we are settled in, there is more to be done! We closed on December 10th and moved in December 13th. It’s been a journey and I wouldn’t want to do it with anyone else! ❤️🏡

Shoutout to our realator for being patient and extremely awesome during this part of our journey. You rock thank you!

I have been really MIA as of late… a lot has happened in these last few months and one of them is that I’ve been recently engaged to my best friend! 💍 Our Hawaii trio in October was full of surprises.

Just got our engagement photos back and am in LOVE 😍✨
