Blue Apron Summer Dinner

I am so very thankful for my girlfriends. I don’t know what I would do without them! They have helped me so much during this year of transition, and we all support and love each other every way we can. And most importantly we always laugh and have a blast when we’re together. I owed thank yous to Gaby, Sarah, and Lauren, so when a Blue Apron box came to my doorstep, I knew I wanted to share it with them.

So on a dark and stormy night, I lit some candles, set the table, and spent a few hours preparing for the special dinner.

Unlike some of the other meal services out there, Blue Apron sends the ingredients and recipes right to your doorstep. There is no trip to the grocery store required!! Everything comes in exactly the right proportions, so there is no waste from unused ingredients. You have your choice of a 2-Person plan or a Family plan, and there’s no commitment – you can skip or cancel the service at any time. Blue Apron is working towards a sustainable food system and a better package recycling program. Try it for yourself! The first 20 readers to sign up get 3 free meals on their first Blue Apron order. 

My favorite way to use Blue Apron is for parties like this one and times when I want to spend time in the kitchen making a special meal. All meals can be prepared in 40 minutes or less, and doing both at once is efficient!

The two meals I made were great for sharing – Chicken Tinga Tacos with Summer Squash & Tomato Salsa, and Eggplant & Rigatoni Pasta Puttanesca with Capers, Cherry Tomatoes & Cucumber Salad.

I also set out some hors d’oeuvres

The dishes were a big hit. We all commented that not only were they delicious, they tasted healthy too.

The pasta was great too. Eggplant is one of my summer favorites!

And this cucumber salad totally exceeded expectations in flavor! It was so simple that I was skeptical, but the salt and pepper cucumbers were so crunchy – like pickles!

We shared such a special evening of girl time. Can’t wait to do it again!

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

Evernote Review: Your Digital Organization Hub

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
