inspire me with valentines day 1

Inspire me with lovers hot coco.  I was never that big of a fan for Valentines Day, until I met my husband Brad.  Our first Valentines day together was in Mexico with our now beautifully blended family.  I planned ahead and made a gift basket including a homemade card with pictures of us during our then short relationship.  I knew I was in love with him, because it truly was love at first sight.  He however, took his “game time” going there.  Well, he told me he loved me that Valentines day and that he could see sharing our lives together.  I now love Valentines day and want to celebrate it everyday.  Maybe, not everyday, but let’s celebrate together for the next 14 days.  xoxo

mondays menu, veggie verde enchiladas

These enchiladas are so easy and really delicious.   Also, super en-expensive and can be a one dish meal.  You can add chicken and rice if you want.  Actually you can put anything in a tortilla and make it a meal.  Enjoy! xoxo

weekend where to go, la villa in little italy

Brad and I love to attend farmers markets throughout the County.  Little Italy in San Diego has an amazing one.  While roaming the streets and vendors we came across La Villa.  A charming outdoor patio pulled us in.  The inside of the restaurant is cool too, but the patio is where we wanted to be.  Brad and I rarely get a table.  We always prefer sitting bar top and learning a little bit about the establishment through the staff.  We ordered the usual, two shots of good quality tequila and a wood fire margarita pizza.  The pizza was a perfect afternoon snack and tequila is always good.  The owner was there that day and we learned that she owned one of our favorite little Italian restaurants Trattoria   I Trully in Encinitas.  We enjoyed the afternoon stop and you will too… xoxo
