Guilt free snackin
I needed a pick me up this afternoon. After a long day of cleaning the apartment I deserved a yummy snack. I had some nonfat Greek yogurt and mixed that with 2 tablespoons of hidden valley ranch season mix. Super yummy! Serve with your choice of veggies! Yummy!

I love LA
Strolling around downtown LA with my brother and baby sis with a small baggie of freshly made Churros! <3 
Cafe Maji in Arcadia
I've been hearing a lot about Cafe Maji from my family for a few weeks now. So today they treated me to some sweet treats! It was a cute little place located on the second floor of the Arcadia Fitness Gym on 1st avenue. The cafe offers sandwiches, various teas, lattes, smoothies, waffles, and tarts. The drinks were pretty yummy! Enjoy the photos!

Pulled Pork Nachos
Had some leftover pulled pork so I was inspired to make nachos! I went to happy hour with some of the attorneys from the office and they ordered nachos. They were yummy… but these were better. ;) Pulled Pork Nachos made with multigrain chips from Trader Joe's, slow roasted pulled pork, green chilies, a drizzle of non-fat Greek yogurt and BBQ sauce, and homemade chipotle black bean dip. Soooooo yummmmy! 
Pulled pork tacos
Potluck eats! Made 6 hour roasted pulled pork tacos with mango salsa for the PDO potluck! My interrupted sleep was worth it! Yummmmy!

My first protein shake
I drink down this protein shake as I type this was my wobbly hands after a hard work out. Cookies and Cream Protein shake courtesy of Mr. Esparza. I doubted the ability of yummy protein shakes and I must say… Not too shabby sir.

Homemade meatball subs
Have I mentioned I am obsessed with grinding meat since I was gifted a Kitchenaid standing mixer with attachments? :) I was excited to make these meatballs for my boo. I know he needed a 'man sandwich' so I ground up some extra cuts of pork chops and sirloin to make these yummy balls. The results were super yummy! So here is my pork and beef meatball subs made with hoagie rolls, melted cheese, tomato sauce, and Italian parsley. Yums! 
Veggie wrap
A veggie wrap for lunch! Wholegrain wrap, sun-dried tomato hummus, feta, sun-dried tomatoes, and avocado.
