What We Did This Weekend

This weekend was not as hectic as last...no more driving back and forth from San Diego to San Clemente. We figured we would just stay down here this weekend and relax. Friday night we had a pretty early night, we went to the grocery store because I somehow had eaten all of our vegetables, that's all I have been wanting to eat lately. So we did some grocery shopping, I made Zack a Sun-dried tomato Chicken panini with avocado, basil, mayo, and mozzarella and I had some cabbage with chicken cooked in coconut oil and a teeny bit of soy sauce. I also bakes some brussels sprouts so we each had about 4 brussels sprouts.

 Oh yeah, can't forget the sriracha, so good on cabbage! Love it. Sprinkle some green onions on top and you have yourself a bowl of yummy. 

Saturday morning we wanted to get out and go do something, we didn't feel like taking Oak to dog beach so we drove to Balboa Park. It was nice because we went pretty early so there wasn't too many large crowds and we were able to walk around a good portion of it! 

Some pictures of our little family at Balboa Park on Saturday! We came home, I had a salad for lunch and I wasn't feeling to hungry around dinner time so I just had some carrots and Zack went and got Chick-fil-A for himself.

Sunday morning (this morning) we woke up pretty early, relaxed, had breakfast in bed and then took Oak on a walk around the neighborhood for a while. Today we are gonna run to Home-Goods and pick out a few little things there and probably run a few errands while we are out. I will update you guys with any more pictures I may have later today. 

In the mean time I always update my instagram so check that out if you want!

EASY Hard Boiled Eggs in the Oven

I have been wanting to make hard boiled eggs for a while, but I really hate boiling them because half of them crack during the process, you have to clean the pot afterwards and there is still a chance they didn't turn out right...

So when Zack insisted on egg salad sandwiches this week I thought I would try out the oven method.

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees 
2. Place as many eggs as you want in your muffin tray 
3. Put the muffin tray with the eggs in the preheated oven & set timer for 30 minutes
4. After 30 minutes, place eggs in ice cold water (I let mine sit for about 20 minutes while I did laundry)
5. Peel and enjoy!!!

* Depending on your oven the cook times may vary, but 30 min. worked perfectly for me*

Right out of the oven!

These hard boiled eggs can be used to make deviled eggs, egg salad sandwich, or just a quick snack and are PERFECT and READY right after soaking:)

Soak the eggs in ice cold water...even just cold water worked for me...I just kept some cold water running on them for the first five minutes while the temperatures equilibrated. 

Came right off in one peel! No messy pieces of egg shell everywhere!

I hope this helps simplify the messy process of making hard boiled eggs and maybe even saves you the frustration of trying to crack them open!!!

Have an amazing Fall day! I can't believe we are already in November:)

Quick & Easy Gluten Free Enchiladas, Lazy Friday Night!

QUICK GLUTEN FREE ENCHILADAS

Tonight we made enchiladas for dinner. Not our typical enchiladas, we normally like to make our own tomato sauce with jalapeno and habenero chiles, blend it in the vitamix add some rice flour, chicken stock etc., but I will save that recipe for another time! For now, it's just the quick and easy way because we had a long day at school and wanted to relax.

Ingredients:

McCormick Enchilada Sauce Seasoning Mix

8 oz. can tomato sauce

corn tortillas

shredded cheese

salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, etc.

chicken breasts 

So, the McCormick seasoning package suggests you use beef, but we had chicken and so I just boiled and shredded the chicken. I followed the instructions on the seasoning pack...threw the chicken in with the sauce, added some cheese into the tortilla, poured the rest of the sauce on top with cheese, plopped it in the oven and there ya go...

The enchiladas are by no means pretty to look at, but it was a lazy night for us and we wanted to take a break from cooking something that would take longer

Not what our enchiladas typically look like before heading into the oven, but the quick way will have to do for tonight!

Add some avocado, green onions, and cilantro to make guacamole....

Smash it all up! :)

There you have it! Our fast dinner for tonight before we relax and watch a movie...

What is everyone else up to on their Friday night?

Let me know what you guys want to see next, I have gotten emails for recipes, outfits, and everyday life and more so be sure to let me know:)
