Blueberry Chia Parfait

Blueberry Chia ParfaitDonny had a catering job to do this last weekend that was quite over due! The couple had purchased a dinner for 10 people catered by Donny four years ago. Yes, FOUR YEARS AGO. Donny’s schedule is kind of crazy and there had been twice that we’d booked it and then something came up with us or them and we had to reschedule. We finally got it done and it was a blast.

Donny made a bunch of amazing food including chipotle sweet corn chowder, a salad with a crispy egg, homemade pasta with sausage and kale, New York strip and scallops. It was a ton of food and all of it was awesome! [Read more…]

Did you enjoy the beautiful Colorado weather yesterday?!?! It was crazy nice out! I made sure to spend plenty of time outside enjoying it. I went to the grocery store first thing and then Donny had the grill started by the time I got back. He grilled up a bunch of food for me for the week and I got my meal prep out of the way before noon!

I took the dogs outside for a while. We think we found where Kevin got out, so we fixed it up over there and hopefully he can’t get out again. Both Saturday & Sunday I let the dogs out and didn’t have Kevin on a leash. I went out there with them and supervised, but he was still off the leash! [Read more…]

Sorry I went MIA last week. I haven’t posted since last Friday, but it was one crazy week (to say the least).

Last Saturday we went up to Denver to pick up our rescue pup, Zeus/Kevin. He was pretty scared and tired that night, but he had just been neutered and then taken to a completely new household with people he did not know. It was understandable. He pretty much laid on our loveseat that whole evening, but he did sleep in our bed that night. [Read more…]

Unfortunately I woke up this morning and was not a millionaire. No winning the PowerBall for the Edson’s. Too bad. We would have done some fun things with all those dollar bills!

It is pretty fun to talk about winning. We did at work a little bit and my dad decided we would buy a company jet. Only makes sense. We would use to mostly to go to all the away Broncos games… not necessarily radio things. [Read more…]

We are officially home and getting into the swing of things on our own. Sadly for me, there are no nurses (I am the nurse). Sadly for Donny, there is no morphine (too bad we couldn’t bring some home…). Friday night was rough, Donny slept through taking a round of pain meds, so early Saturday morning (as in 1:00am) he was one hurtin’ unit!

The bad part is that the pain medication doesn’t kick in right away so it took over an hour for the pain to go away. You always lose the catch-up game with Percocet. Always. Keep that in mind. [Read more…]

We had early Thanksgiving yesterday at Donny’s parents house. We had turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, candied sweet potatoes, broccoli casserole, rolls, stuffing…. phew I am full just thinking about all the food! Not only that, but Peggy made lemon meringue pie, pecan pie, and his grandma made pumpkin bars. It was delicious! [Read more…]

Two of the magazines that I have subscriptions to are Clean Eating magazine and Oxygen magazine (I also have a subscription to People StyleWatch… you know to cover my bases of food, fitness, and clothing).

I almost always get both Clean Eating magazine and Oxygen magazine on the same day, which is fine except I never know what one to start reading first! I’m telling you, the struggle is real (does this warrant a #thestruggleisreal ?!?). [Read more…]
