Coconut Chicken and Mango Salsa

I have found that the 'fitness' tab in Pinterest has tons of great, healthy recipes!  And also lots of motivation to work out.... pretty much a win-win, right??  So the first experiment was this.  Instead of following the recipe exactly, I made mine with sweetened coconut, and added lots more cayenne pepper to the chicken.  The mango salsa (which according to Tracie at work, I pronounce it "sal-za"- that's how you say it, right?? haha) was great!  It prompted me to make another recipe I have (grapefruit salsa from my "Eat Clean" cookbook... that recipe will be posted in the next few days!). 

Try it!! I promise you will love it.  Let me know how it turns out :)

McCall Part 2

Happy Monday to all!  Chase and I have been cleaning up around the house  the past few evenings because my momma is visiting next week! So excited to have her stay :)  It will be great to have some girl time!
For some reason, when I was posting pictures yesterday of our trips, I couldn't upload all of the McCall pictures.... Is there a picture limit on each post??  Hmmmm.....  But anyways, here are the rest!

Home Again

Though all of our adventures have been wonderful, it feels great to be back home again.  Last week when we got back from our Oregon/California trip, we had one night at home, repacked, and left again  for McCall.  Chase's parents had rented a house near the lake for all of last week and we had a ton of fun!  Lots of hiking, kayaking, and relaxing... Chase broke me into the mountain biking world while we were there (I will admit I am a fan of having my two feet on the ground, but maybe with practice I will become a mountain biker! Oh, did I mention, the trail we went on was rated "extremely strenuous" in the trail guide??? I definitely wish I would have been the one to pick which trail we went on... ha!)  Enjoy the pics!

Have to get a Dutch Bros in Grants Pass, Oregon!

McCall (part 1)

There was a poor little birdie stuck in the window... see following pictures as to how we got it out.... OH BOY!

Poor Liddy was sea sick!

Pearl lake for Jeneen's mom, who was also 'Pearl'!

Liddy had a weird thing about eating the lilly pads.... strange.

***Part 2 of McCall pics will be up soon!!!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Road Trip #2, Part 1

After getting home on Monday from Yellowstone, we repacked our bags and headed out the door again yesterday. Currently, we are in Klamath Falls, Oregon for a business meeting Chase had to be at. From here, we have a few more stops along the way before heading home Sunday. I will update along the way!

Weekend Pictures!

Yellowstone was awesome- it is like another world up there!  I haven't been there since I was probably ten years old, so it was really neat to see it all again.  We saw lots of animals- moose, antelope, bears, elk, and of course, lots of buffalo! 

I am looking to update the blog layout and design- if anyone has any tips, I would greatly appreciate it!! :)
