weekend in photos

this weekend was spent at home doing what we do best – a balance of work & play. 
i thought it might be fun to snap a handful of shots throughout our weekend & share them with you.
breadmaking & homemade pizzas, early morning walks, weekend naps & muffins for our people. birthday celebrations, matinee play at the local theater, a double date & fresh new kitchen tile.
jadeite, warm mugs of coffee, taxes, braids & late night cuddles with a movie.
wishing you the very best week!

share your weekend with us! i’d love to read. 
love,
natalie

chicken pot pie

we’re all crossing our fingers down here for a snow day. it’s in the forecast & we’re hoping it dips down just enough for a few flurries. in celebration of cold winter days, i thought i’d share my new favorite- chicken pot pie from skinny kitchen!
some days just call for a little comfort food & this dish is sure to hit the spot. 
happy wintry wednesday, friends! let me know if you try out this dish!
love,

a day of healthy meals

i’ve been struggling to get back on track after a decadent weekend of valentine’s day feasts & chocolates. in an effort to be more intentional about what i eat & stay accountable, i decided to take a snapshot of every thing i ate on tuesday. 
i am currently on weight watchers & really love it. below you’ll find my meals along with my estimated smart points for each meal/snack (i am allotted 30 smart points a day). for those with questions – click here to learn weight watcher’s approach & how they determine an individual’s daily smart points allowance. 
1. breakfast 6sp: crispy oats cereal with almond milk, blueberries & half a banana + coffee with cream
2. lunch 8sp: turkey wrap with mini pretzels, sweet baby bell peppers & lots of lime-infused water
3. snack 3sp: vanilla greek yogurt with blueberries
4. dinner 8sp: crockpot chicken masala (made with light coconut milk) on cauliflower rice with a side salad & homemade salad dressing
5. snack (not shown) 4sp: two hershey miniatures 
how do you approach your health journey & meals? i’d love to read your favorite snacks & your biggest successes! please share!
love,
natalie
p.s. this is not a sponsored weight watchers post. i simply love sharing my health journey with you in an effort to inspire & remind you that you’re not alone. xo!
