High Low High 26

By

Good morning, friends! Happy Monday to you!

As you probably remember, I love a good weekend High Low High blog post. They share both the high and low highlights from it. I always like to focus on the positive side of things, so there’s typically more highs than lows! 🙂 With that, here’s how our weekend went. And, of course, I’d love to hear about your weekend too, so feel free to share some highs and lows in the comment section below!

HIGH: Date night at Novara! Mal and I had such a nice time, and the food and drinks were delicious!

Dirty vodka martini with blue cheese and gorgonzola-stuffed olives

Truffle Parmesan Fries

Zucca Salad – roasted butternut squash, gorgonzola, dried cherries, baby kale, and bacon shallot vinaigrette

Affogato made with sea salt caramel gelato and espresso

Related: Remember when Tiffani Thiessen made her signature affogato for me? I always think of her when I have this dessert! 🙂

HIGH: An impromptu visit with our friends Marisa and Jeff. We stopped by their house after dinner to say hi!

HIGH: Saturday “gym day” followed by iced coffee from Coffee Shack. 

LOW: No donuts. Quinn got an Atlas Bar at the gym, and Mal and I went out the night before and we had plans to go out again later that night, so we passed. Next time!

HIGH: Having a helper for our weekly grocery shopping trip! Quinn was the “list guy.”

HIGH: Enjoying the sunshine! Spring has finally sprung at the end of April!

HIGH: Celebratory dinner and drinks for Marisa’s birthday at Crossing 9’s. It was the first really nice day in months, so the place was crazy busy, but fun at the same time. It made me so excited for summer! 🙂

HIGH: Sleeping until 7:42 AM on Sunday morning! It was easily the latest I’ve slept in months!

LOW: Falling asleep on the couch later that afternoon and not getting anything done. Ugh, naps are so annoying. Apparently, getting so much sleep the night before just made me want to sleep more?

HIGH: An awesome prep day, which left me especially excited for the week ahead. I’ll fill you guys in on the change I made, but I’m excited!

On the menu this week:

  • Mustard Chicken Thighs with Creamy Garlic Spaghetti Squash
  • Sheet Pan Shrimp & Veggies
  • Blue Cheese Turkey Burgers with French Fries & Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
  • Chicken Lettuce Wraps
  • Chicken Ole with Roasted Broccoli & Rice

Can you spot the pug in the photo above?

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

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
