Faces of Beauty

Arnie in Motion

Susan is on Faces of Beauty today!  Come say hi 🙂

 

It’s not that I’m out of recipes.

 

No sirree.

I just feel that it’s imperative that y’all know as much about me as possible.  You know, so you can sense my inspiration and whatnot.

And if this little troll-haired crazy mutt doesn’t inspire you then I just don’t know what will.

This is Arnie, my parent’s dog (p.s. I consider him mine, but for reference purposes we’ll call him my parents’ dog).  He’s a lean, mean, 20 lbs of terrier fury with an attitude to rival any cat I’ve ever met.

Basically he’s incredible.

When we were in Oklahoma for Papa’s funeral my parents brought Arnie along to stay with our amazing family friends we stayed with.

Here’s what you should know though:  he’s more than obsessed with my dad.  It’s completely endearing how there was a minor freak-out every time we left, and an even bigger one when we returned.

The last night we were there Salah and Arnie were a’ wrasslin’ on the floor and Nate snapped these pictures of him.

Never miss with a lightning-quick terrier!

How about this one:  Arnie grinds his coffee with his teeth and boils his water with his own rage.

OK, fine, that’s a Chuck Norris joke that I changed to Arnie’s name.

Did I mention I used to go to church with Chuck Norris?

That’s another story for another time.

Let’s just say Santa’s not the only one who sees you when you’re sleeping… 😉

    The last picture is a perfect photo of a frazzed dog. My lab would look like that at the end of the day if she had hair like that…she gets frazzed up too! We all could use some of their energy.

    I wish someone could have recorded my reaction to that last picture/line.
    Eyes widened in fear, quickly followed by belly laughter.
    Adorable rabid pup!

    Arnie is my kind of dog. I can see why you would want to call him yours but also know why that is not possible. He is just too cute.

    Arnie is very cute. I love dogs, they are always happy and always in the right spot at the right time to make you smile 🙂

    I’m not sure you can just toss around a name like Chuck Norris and not tell us the story!

    He’s so cute! I love that you called him troll-haired. It does remind me of my old troll dolls. Only it’s not hot pink.

☀️Samples time! Interested in snagging some ☀️Samples time! 

Interested in snagging some clean sunscreen (FSA eligible🙌)? Or what about brightening your complexion? Or both? I’m sending out samples this weekend and would love to get some happy mail to YOU TOO! Drop your favorite emoji below and I’ll be in touch!
Just popping in from the place moms flock to on ra Just popping in from the place moms flock to on rainy days just to get out of the dang house: the aisles of Target. 😂 Not a lot to say, but I’m going to leave you  with 3 affirmations I want you to repeat to yourself today:

❤️ I AM STRONG
❤️ I AM CAPABLE
❤️ I AM ENOUGH

BECAUSE YOU ARE. Have a wonderful day friends!
Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smo Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smoothie has 40 grams of protein, lots of green goodness and tastes like a pineapple-vanilla dream!

- 1 cup water
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
- 1 cup frozen kale or spinach
- 1 scoop vanilla protein
- 1 serving collagen peptides (I use 2 scoops of @bulletproof brand; some brands just have one big scoop)
- 1 scoop greens powder (I used @amazinggrass)

Blend and enjoy!
🥗 FAST FOOD! Real real: I hate when people are 🥗 FAST FOOD!

Real real: I hate when people are all, “you can cook food in the same time it takes to grab takeout.” That is not always true, and sometimes it’s just about not wanting to try. Effort is hard, amen?!

Today I’m thankful to have had the energy and want-to to cook something a little healthier and save a little money. That’s not always the case, but today it was and I’ll count it as a win!

In the bowl: 3/4 cup black beans, 1/4 cup corn, 2 big handfuls of spinach, and two eggs. Seasoned it all with salt, pepper, garlic and smoked paprika!

Any wins y’all feel like sharing today? Let’s hear it and celebrate!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thi Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thing I’ve been eating on repeat all week):

- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (optional)*
- 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
- 1 serving unflavored collagen peptides
- Sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

Heat the oats, water, milk and coffee in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thickened to your liking (although keep in kind the flax seeds and cooling will thicken it even further). Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips; I like to use a whisk to make sure the collagen doesn’t clump. Pour in a bowl, sprinkle with the chocolate chips and enjoy!

*I love to add a little coffee to mine to help enhance the chocolate flavor, but you do you!
And sometimes this is what it means to “work fro And sometimes this is what it means to “work from home.” 😂
Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but thought it was worth sharing here too. When it comes to how I plan out meals, I look for 3 things:

🥗Whole foods. Not like the store (that’s called Whole Paycheck, right?), but meaning foods that haven’t been minimally processed. Fresh veggies, lean protein sources, whole grains, etc. I do have a few processed things on hand (protein bars) just in case I’m in a place where I need something SUPER quick, but that’s it. 

🥗High fiber. There are so many reasons we should be getting in plenty of fiber (Google is your friend here guys), but if I’m being honest I just feel better when I’m getting plenty of it. Leaner, more regular, more satiated. The list goes on! Besides the obvious fresh produce, I also eat plenty of legumes, whole grains (rolled oats, farro, quinoa - even though it’s a seed), flax and chia seeds.

🥗Hit my protein goals. Again, an essential nutrient. I have composition goals, and for my muscles to recover from my hard workouts I have to make sure I’m getting in enough protein. For me this means chicken, fish, and the occasional beef or pork.

Wondering - would y’all be interested in how I do my meal planning and shopping trips?  If so just drop your favorite emoji below!
It’s Friday, which means a myriad of things:

1️⃣Weekend vibes! Think soccer games, yard work, church, family time. Love it!
2️⃣The end of my meal prep. Not gonna lie, I won’t make this stew again...although the couscous was a fun addition!
3️⃣Sleeping in. HALLELUJAH.
4️⃣A chance to set up next week to be a great one!

It’s going to be a fabulous weekend y’all. What are you up to?!
#brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick #brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick myself for not showing y’all how orange these yolks were. 🍳 Eggs are one of the foods I spend a little more on because the flavor and nutrient density are worth it!
.
Pictured: seared mushrooms, roasted baby broccoli, bacon and 2 eggs. Not pictured: another parfait like last night’s because 😋.

What’s your brinner go-to?!
