Follow me over at @mrs_sandiego_ ! I’m shutting down this account, at least for now, I won’t be posting from here anyway. Turns out, working full-time while going to university, along with juggling family, friends, pets, travel, things like a clean house, and making time for a blog is A LOT! When I created this account I was without work and looking for something extra to do, aka serrriously bored. You know that rule if you haven’t worn something in 6 months you need to get rid of it? I’m applying that rule to my life, if I’m no longer enjoying something, it’s gotta go. That being said, I do enjoy writing in my blog, but I don’t have time to post on it often enough to justify it being a brand and pressuring myself to make something “successful” that was originally just for fun. I look forward to welcoming anyone here over at my other account (let’s be honest, most are following it over there already) for more mountains, more cats, more adventures and, of course, mostly beer and food! #springcleaning
Sunday soup so we have lunches for the week. Thai red chicken curry with spinach, peas, and peppers. Going to have to write this one down it turned out really well! #soupsunday #mealprep #thaicooking #thaichickensoup #redcurry
MA, THE MEATLOAF!! I feel like meatloaf is underrated; people associate it with being dry and bland (or with being a popular 90’s rock band) but properly made, and with good ingredients, it’s pretty darn tasty! #mathemeatloaf #meatloaf #thursdaydinner #weeknightmeals
When it’s cold outside, roast all the foods! The spatchcock style of preparation for any bird cooks it more quickly and evenly. The result? Juicier meat all around, plus it looks pretty funny! #flattychicken #spatchcock #spatchcockchicken
