Amazingness

What a gorgeous Monday! Seriously, a little vitamin B goes a long way! We decided to take a nice little hour break from work to catch some rays... and air!


I also came back from our walk with a handful of flowers that I may or may not have stole borrowed from the park and people's planters. Who plants flowers without expecting them to be picked?!


This past weekend was just as awesome as this weather. Watch out for lots of new breakfast recipes coming! I finally purchased one of these bad boys...


Yup, that's right. I decided to join the baked donuts group in order to save my boyfriend thousands of calories and guilty trips to the local corner store to pick up a box of donuts. I also tried out soysage. Which, if you ask me, is pretty fun to say and pretend you have a New York accent. If you are afraid of "fake" meat, try it in my frittata recipe!

Soysage and Veggie Frittata:
3 egg whites plus 2 eggs
1-2 tablespoons skim milk
1 roma tomato diced
1 large handful of cooked spinach
1 soysage (Light Life) italian sausage link (sliced)
turkey bacon (optional)
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Spray a pie pan with cooking spray. Slice and crisp up your turkey bacon and soysage in a pan. Remove and add to your pie pan. Add diced tomatoes and spinach to pan. Wisk your eggs and skim milk in a separate bowl and add to pan. Cook at 350 for 20-25 minutes.

This is the easiest way to introduce soysage virgins to a vegetarian meat. Plus, this breakfast is easy to make if you want a perfect looking omlette or if you are having guests over for breakfast. You can always sprinkle the top with some shredded cheese for extra deliciousness!


Saturday night we caught up with our friends in Bethesda. I'm really good at never being ready for a photo.


Hope you made it outside today! I took the pups for a walk/jog around the neighborhood. I'll leave you with this....

Guest Blogger! Cait @ Fit, Fierce, Fabulous!

Happy Monday everyone! I had a fabulous idea over the weekend to introduce guest bloggers once or twice a month. I think it is a great way to spice things up and share some of my favorite blogger friends with all of you! I asked Cait over at Fit, Fierce and Fabulous to be the first one! She is fab and it is easy to see why so many love her!

April begins wedding season, and nothing makes me more excited than wedding planning and couples in love so I asked Cait what her fabulous wedding would look like!

My pretty friend Cara asked me to be a guest blogger and I’m so excited to be talking with you all today! HI! I’m Cait from Fit, Fierce and Fabulous. Want to know a little bit about me? I love the color pink (more like a tiny bit obsessed) anything with cheese, dr pepper, shopping, being a total girly girl, and anything to do with weddings!

No, I’m not married, or even engaged. But I have been with the boyfriend for 3 ½ years now. When will he pop the question you ask? Well I think any of us girls in relationships tend to daydream about the big day, or even better, the big moment where we can plan the wedding of our dreams. Even if you're not in a relationship, don't tell me you haven't though about running around in a big silk gown pretending to be the princess of the ball!

My favorite décor? Well, here’s a few of my favorite of what I would love to do (someday) for a spring/summer wedding

Cute macroons like these leave you feeling satisfied, plus there colors are divine
the different pinks are good for creating a variety of shades and gives the table a pop!
I’m a huge fan of daises!
Whatever is in this fabulous looking drink, count me in!

I have other ideas of course, but maybe I’ll save that for another time. Clearly I could just tak forever about this idea, but I don’t want to waste your precious time friends! If you’d like to see a great proposal, check my blog post out! It is sure to make you get a few tears! Have a fabulous day!

Love, Cait
