Tried this recipe

When I came downstairs, Chloe had already made me breakfast the night before for my birthday. SO SWEET!

My mom also made for me a birthday seaweed soup, oysters, steamed & marinaded eggplants and beansprouts. ALL my favorite things to eat. I feel so blessed and full. 🙂

I wasn’t able to do much since I’m still kind of recovering from my concussion on Saturday… but I could still eat. ;P I’m grateful to be alive and surrounded by my family who loves me. Thank you God… 
It’s been a bit of rollercoaster with a car accident I had in early January and learning about my good friend passing, then the ski accident… I’m grateful for my groups of faithful Christian friends and family who pray alongside of me and keeping me accountable as I navigate through life.

I made this creamy mentaiko pasta with black bean noddles this time and I’m really digging this texture. I love the creaminess of the sauce with chewy texture from the noodles. This is a very healthy yet decadent dish and my  family loved it.
Here’s my version of this pasta sauce: 1 tbs olive oil, 1 tbs butter, thinly minced garlic (2 cloves), 1-2 tbs mascarpone cheese, pollock roe, cherry tomatoes, and topped with parsley 

I’m making my protein bars… which means we are going skiing tomorrow!~ Woo hoo!!

Delicious lunch @Elia

These days my morning starts at around 6:15am. I get up and make kids breakfast and pack lunches, then after kids school drop off, I walk with Miles for about 2 miles then do my hot flow yoga at Lifetime. So my breakfast is usually after I get home from yoga and shower which is around 11:30. 

This morning, I made citrus spring mix salad with avocado and smoked salmon topped with fried egg and also added veggie patty. So yummy.

Chloe went to her friends for dinner tonight, so the rest of fam sat in front of TV and ate takeout Japanese. 

Even though I pack lunches for kids, when they come home, they are hungry again.
1. Cheese fries with citrus kale avocado salad with toasted pistachio and flex seeds
2. Ricotta and arugula cauliflower pizza with drizzled honey

It was freeeeezzzzzing cold, temperature dropping as low as -8º BUT the upside of it was, the mountain was not at all crowded. Haha, we survived skiing on ice! First day of skiing this winter and hopefully many more to come! @belleayre

I’m packing for ski day trips this weekend so I made these nutritional protein bars to take it with us. So yummy, not too sweet, just the way I like it!
