Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days Of Summer

We didn't too much yesterday - It was Sunday after all. We started the morning off with going to the beach, but it was super windy so we headed back home to finish some projects we've been working on. Ben is reupholstering our outside table chairs and I've been continuing to organize our new place. I never realized how much effort it takes to still make a house a home! Even though we absolutely a d o r e this place, there's so many little things that need to be put in place before it's cozy. :) collage1
Ever since we got here, I've been dying for a margarita! (not to say I'm a huge fan of alcohol)but you know when you get on vacation, getting a Margarita for lunch isn't grounds for judgement? It's like that. ;) but! I need to remember this isn't a vacation, it's life! :D (Ben even made a "virgin" marg for Scarlett. She LOVED it!) I had to document Scarlett eating because it's still a rarity. We made quinoa noodles, mixed veggies(loaded with butter) & a side of carrots 'n grapes. dinnercollage2 Okay..Before you start to judge that picture of food, just take a step back and listen to these ingredients. Ben made up a "healthy" version of Chicken Carbarana, using: *For the roux:coconut flour, organic heavy whipping cream, butter!!, nitrate free bacon, and salt. Then he just grilled up some chicken using our normal spices,and cooked Quinoa noodles. IT WAS SO GOOD. I don't even think I can explain in words how perfect of a Comfort meal this was! The coconut flour brought this amazing rich flavor that I totally didn't expect! It was great! isle
We ended up lighting our tiki torches and celebrating the night with fruit popsicles.
