March Favorites
March has been good to me. I’m loving the gradual changing of seasons and look forward to getting outside more in the following months. Nature = my happy place.

Buffalo Chicken Meatballs
Try this meatball version of buffalo chicken wings for a lighter dish that can be served as an appetizer or turned into a full meal. It’s a shame that football season is over, because I have the perfect addition to any game day food menu. Alright, even though I’m not a huge sports fan (unless I’m out there…
Strong Coffee and Sore Muscles
And just like that, it’s Monday again! We enjoyed a weekend of adventures, including drinks in the Gaslamp (AKA downtown San Diego) on Saturday night and brunch with a bit of sunshine in Ocean Beach on Sunday.
