Here’s what the past week looked like on Royal Caribbean’s The Oasis of the Seas:
(I was there for the Click Retreat with Joy!)
Above water.
Siren song. No jumping for me…but apparently someone had an accident…
The water is so dang blue in the Caribbean.
She is the best travel partner.
Watching people watch sharks at Atlantis.
Watching kids watching youtube at Atlantis.
About a month ago Cooper and I were invited to a last minute playdate at our friend’s house on a Friday night. I offered to pick something up for dinner on the way over to their house and I inadvertenly created a salad that has become my new obsession. All it took was one very quick trip to Trader Joe’s.
If you don’t have a Trader Joe’s where you live, my apologies. Hopefully you’ll be able to find some of the ingredients/make some of them on your own or just use this idea as a template for a good meal at home or to take to work. Everything can be assembled super last minute. Just grab a few bowls and silverware and you’re good to go. There’s a variety of flavors and textures. So many good things in one bowl.
The second Christmas was over, I got sick. It’s kinda weird how that happens. Like…your body pushes through…. you get things done and the second it’s all over…the second your guests leave… BAM.
Illness.
WHY????!
A year ago, I saw Heidi’s recipe for turmeric tea and I’ve been making it ever since. It’s a nice afternoon pick-me-up. It cures the 3PM sugar cravings I have at work. It also introduced me to the wonders of turmeric and I’m hooked now. Who would have thought?
In my brain, toddies have either bourbon or gin in them. But I thought I’d try this toddy with Reposado Patron Tequila to shake things up a bit. Glad I did because we have a winner, folks. This hot toddy tastes like a syrupy warm smoky margarita. Which is kinda weird to think about but it works incredibly well on a cold day.
The turmeric adds a little health to the situation with it’s anti-inflammatory fighting powers. The honey and lemon are so good for your throat and the Patrón tequila adds the warm fuzzies that one needs during this time of year. It’s like putting on a cozy sweater. And in my brain, this warm cozy sweater is a brilliant mustard color. Cheers!
Here’s what this past week looked like:
Early morning flight out of California yesterday. I’ll be at the Click Retreat for the next week.
I love window seats now. Used to be an aisle person only. Nope.
Reading Ina’s interview in Cherry Bombe magazine. Love that lady.
Baggage. I almost thought they lost mine.
Early morning cab situation.
Five Guys at the airport in Atlanta. YUM.
There’s a new Joy the Baker Podcast!!! New Year/New You. We talk about our New Year’s Resolutions and lack thereof.
