Today I’m off to Cabo San Lucas for a bachelorette party and I am so excited for some sunshine.
Last time I was in Cabo, this happened. I leaned over to take a picture and the picture just happened to catch me mid-fall. I had the most enormous bruise on my tush for weeks, but it made for a fabulous photo.
And all of these items will be in my suitcase. Cannot wait to wear the jumpsuit (rolled up with flip-flops) and bathing suit (the peplum is removable!) in particular.
I finally have my computer back. It was supposed to be 8 days (yes I might have cried when they told me) but it came early! I felt like a limb had been amputated while it was gone. How sad is that? It also made me realize how much I missed blogging when I couldn’t physically do it, so I have a renewed sense of priority here, I hope I haven’t lost you all in the mean time.
Today, I wanted to share the recipes for these two delicious dishes I made the other night, and posted on instagram a couple days ago.
The cauliflower crust cheesy bread was incredible. I highly, highly recommend it. It was a bit more time intensive than the recipes I typically make, but well, well worth the effort. Totally carb and guilt free and so delicious. My husband had no idea the crust was made from a vegetable until I told him.
The chicken sausage hash is going to be a new staple for me. The flavors were just awesome and so, so easy to make.
Ingredients:
Chicken sausage (I used Amylu Italian)
Butternut squash
Basil to taste
1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
Directions:
Cut up the butternut squash into bite sized pieces, put on a baking sheet with a little olive oil, salt and pepper
Roast squash at 400 degrees until soft and slightly browned (took me about 30 minutes)
Cut up chicken sausage into bite sized pieces and brown in a skillet
Combine sausage, squash, torn up basil, balsamic glaze and parm.
That’s it! So simple. It was unreal. The combo of salty and sweet was just so delicious.
