My New Glasses!

After nearly three years of wearing the same glasses, I finally got a new pair!  I ordered another pair of Warby Parkers - you can't beat that deal to say nothing of their philanthropic work. These glasses are different (a little more hipster) than any others I have owned. I was a little nervous when they first arrived in the mail but I love them now.

Warby Parkers arrived!

Sportin' my new glasses!

Dining in recap: We are wrapping up our week of dining in and I think we did well. I went to brunch yesterday with some girlfriends but I don't think that really counts... Other than that all meals were made and eaten at home. I'm ruling it a success! Hopefully, it will encourage us to dine-in more frequently.

Dining In

This week J and I have been trying to eat healthy and dine-in for one whole week. This is a huge challenge for me! Not so much the eating healthy part but the dining in part. I love going out to eat! We have attempted this before but never got far. Although, I have a good feeling about this time. We started Monday and have been off to a good start.

Again, I need to get better about taking pictures but so far this week for dinner I have made ground turkey lettuce wrap tacos and almond baked chicken. The almond baked chicken was amazing and instantly became a new favorite. I will definitely be making this again.

For lunches we have been using leftovers to make huge delicious salads. And snacks are consisting of a lot of fruit.

Up for tonight is grilled steak with roasted jalapeño chimichurri with a side of asparagus and cherry tomatoes. I don't usually cook steak, of any kind, so I hope it turns out well!

I will update y'all later in the week to let you know how our week of dining in is going.

Do y'all usually cook at home or eat out? What do you usually cook? I love finding new recipes!
