Happy Monday, friends!

We are on WEEK 29 of 2019.  Here’s what week 29 looked like for me last year.  That was a big week for my career!

This weekend there was a baseball tournament, a deep house cleaning, an intense pruning/ gardening session, a hike with a friend, and an impromptu dinner at my house with my Dad and niece.  It was nice to have a casual dinner out on our deck. The weather was perfect and we ended the night with strawberries and chocolate cake.  I’m still enjoying my mornings in the  hammock!  and I don’t know how I ever lived without one!

I also started the week with some meal prep!  HOORAY!

I received this shipment of fresh produce from @delmontefresh this week and immediately put it to work in my #shutterbeanmealprep I used the watermelon to make watermelon aqua fresca and cut up pieces for snacking. I roasted the tomatoes and made salsa with them. Avocados and tomatoes turned into guacamole. I chopped up pineapple and red peppers for snacking. I took some of the bananas and prepped them to go in the freezer for smoothies. I made a batch of hard boiled eggs, ranch dip, limeade (with the limes) and a zucchini frittata with the cut up zucchini. A little prep goes a long way! #mealprep #partnership #ad #shutterbeanmealprep
