Virginia Is For Love

By

Hope you all had a nice weekend. We are still very much reminded of what happened the week prior here in Cville, but there are signs of love, unity, and community everywhere. T and I went downtown for dinner on Friday night. There were tons of people out and about, but the air did have a bit of a different vibe.

4th Street is closed and filled with flowers and tributes to Heather Heyer and the others injured during the attack.

We settled on Brasserie Saison for dinner. We shared small plates, oysters, and a yummy whole branzino.

These scallops were incredible! The sesame fried crust was slightly sweet, almost like a donut? Loved them.

Pickled cucumbers and crab meat in a sweet curry sauce!

The branzino was light and smokey, and I loved the brightness of the tomatoes and parsley.

We left a little room for dessert — salted caramel + jasmine at Splendora’s.

On Saturday morning we had toast and yogurt and met about 100 other people at ACAC for an outdoor workout. It was hot and sunny, but we (barely) survived.

We spent a little time cooling off on the roof with our friends Gaby and Brandon.

Dontcha hate it when you forget flip-flops and have to sport tennis shoes with bathing attire!?

After showers at home, we took Mazen to Ace Biscuit and BBQ for lunch. I heard that Ace owner Brian Ashworth stood up against a disruptive group of alt-right white supremacists throwing Nazi salutes last weekend, and we wanted to go to show our support.

The menu has so many options that it’s a bit overwhelming!

I settled on a biscuit with fried green tomatoes and pimento cheese!!

And we shared mac and cheese (which was so delicious), collard greens and more fried green tomatoes between us.

Later that afternoon, Mazen and I made Jello! His first. He loved it.

On Saturday evening we went to the pool to enjoy live music, swimming, and pizza from Dr. Hos! Mazen swam nonstop from 5-8 and would have turned into a prune if I’d let him.

I spent Sunday tidying up and playing women’s soccer!

Hope you guys enjoyed your Friday — Sundays <3

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
