Hope you’re doing well! I wanted to pop in and share a little of what’s been cooking over here (in the kitchen & life-wise).
First, I went on a major chickpea blondie kick. I tried a few recipes and you know what…I didn’t like any of them. They all looked like they had such potential! You win some, you lose some!
I made Bridget’s amazing chicken! I grilled the chicken up with jalapenos from our garden:
SO yummy! I am making the chicken again for Kaylin’s first birthday party (where did the time go?).
We celebrated Josh’s first Father’s day in style by going to our favorite restaurant, Grill 225. We all got fancied up for the event:
Josh is an amazing Dad:
Me & the moving peanut:
And a few shots from dinner, the focaccia….my favorite bread ever:
Tagliatelle:
Josh’s filet:
I recently made Mama Pea’s con cookies. I used smashed Crispix instead of rice krispies….drool. So good!
I still can’t believe my little peanut is going to be a year soon! She has been growing and developing so fast and it is incredible to watch. She loves swimming at her Mimi’s pool:
and has been working on getting mobile:
We’re planning on doing a Mickey Mouse themed birthday party. We’re having lots of people over for eats and games. Any favorite party foods? Links are welcome!
We have our Body Attack launch tomorrow- I’m excited!!
Tell me one thing that you did this weekend.

aww Erica, she is a peanut, a growing peanut.
was it really a year ago? wow.
that steak josh had has me drooling. i haven't had one of those kind in months.
So SOrry the chic pea blondies didn't work out for you. Mine came out delicious but I did double up on the almond butter which may be why. :)
oh that picture of the two of you dressed up is too stinkin' cute- she is ADORABLE in that little dress!
oh my- are you kidding. one year already soon? I am sad! I feel like she was just born. Time flies by so fast. I can't believe connor is already 7 months. Loving that pic of you and K
Loving that dress on Kaylin!! So cute.
This weekend Seth and I made a light box and did some house hunting :)
Kaylin is adorable! First birthday parties come up so fast, but they are such a fun event! And you've got lots of great milestones still to come as she gets older!
Ahhhhhhhhh..........she's almost walking!! So exciting!!
I spent lots of time with my sister this weekend since she was home visiting. :)
mickey mouse theme...precious!
what a cutie :) great fathers day meal, too! and i'm shocked a year has gone by already!! i've been thinking lately about trying chickpea blondies, so i'd be interested to hear which recipes didn't quite cut the mustard for you! i did try a recipe for black bean brownies this past weekend, but i need to try again i think it could be improved!
I know right? Where does the time go...Josh just got a gift certificate to go to Grill 225 again! You're welcome to join us :)
Maybe I need to double up on the AB too! I'm thinking of trying again!! Hope you're doing well

SO exciting! I hope you guys find a place :)

Ohhh, Kay looks so cute all dressed up with her matching shoes on!!! Hope Josh had a fantastic Father's Day!
A Mickey themed birthday party sounds like so much fun! You could get mouse-ear cutouts and make cookies and sammies for the kids! :)
I can't believe she's almost a year! Time sure does fly it's crazy! Hope the launch is fun for you guys. What's the theme?
Love your little peanut! She's such a doll! That chicken does look really amazing. Yum. Thanks for posting a post! xo
It is CRAZY that it's already been a year! I love the idea of a Mickey Mouse birthday... I had a Mighty Mouse themed birthday when I turned one and I still have a paper cup from the party!
Great post! Can't believe your little Peanut is almost a year old. Time flies!!

Launch was great! We didn't theme this one. We have pump/step coming up in the middle of July and we're doing a luau theme!

Baby K's hair reminds me of my daughter - I never thought she would grow any hair, and in fact her first hair cut wasn't until she was 3 1/2 - but then it just grew so fast - she's already donated to locks of love twice! I love her smile!!

<3 <3
Haha- K's hair...or lack thereof!
i can't believe she's turning one already! it feels like she was born just yesterday! love all the food being cooked up. i'll have to try those cookies!
I want to come hang out in your kitchen! Plus your little one is adorable! I love her little ballet flats :)
That focaccia looks out of this world and Kay is such a treat, as always. I can't believe she is approaching the one year mark already! A Mickey Mouse themed birthday party sounds perfect if you ask me. :o) Also, I just noticed her ballet flats. Adorable! Love these life updates from you and hope the Body Attack launch went well last week!
Yay for updates! I can't believe Kay is going to be one soon - how the heck did that happen?
You are making me so hungry! Kaylin is getting so big and cuter by the minute. Enjoy every minute as they grow up so fast.
Kaylin's getting so big! What a cutie :)
