Till Then Smile Often

Oh, How Pinteresting!

This week is flying by so quickly! I feel like I haven’t been pinning a ton this week due to being so busy but for reals a lot is subjective. I also apologize in advance since I think getting another puppy has been on my mind, hence a lot of dog pins. Total cuteness though.

What have you been pinning lately? I would love to connect with you too for some more inspiration! So if you haven’t already go ahead and add me on Pinterest!

Head on over to The Vintage Apple and linkup!

Taste of Tuesday : Healthy Tuna BLT Cups

This recipe could not have been easier, let me tell you!! Who doesn’t know how to make Tuna salad, or stuff a tomato?! This is also the most adaptable recipe to fit your taste. So many options for fill-ins, the sky is the limit.

BLT-6

Ingredients: One Medium size tomato ~ 1 can of tuna or chicken (whichever you prefer) ~ Tzatziki (I use this in place of mayo, another good alternative is greek yogurt) ~ red onion ~ salt ~ pepper ~ crushed garlic ~ lettuce ~ Bacon bits ~

Optional Add-ins:

Chopped Walnuts ~ Celery ~ Pickles [this is my favorite but I was out 🙁 ] ~ cranberries ~ grapes

Okay, okay you get the point, you can pretty much add anything based on your calorie needs.

BLT-1

Directions:

1. Mix Tuna, red onion, garlic and tzatziki and add seasonings to taste.

BLT-2

2. Cut the top of the tomato like you are carving a pumpkin. Scoop out the insides (save them for a salad, add to the tuna mix, or toss)

BLT-3

3. Fill tomato with lettuce, add tuna mixture and sprinkle top with bacon bits.

BLT-4

I cut the tomato into eights and gobbled up post workout with a protein shake.

BLT-5

I will be making this again but I may use a thinner or smaller tomato to allow all the flavors to really pop, versus it being mostly tomato.

Weekend Update

I feel like I got so much accomplished this weekend. I love starting the week feeling like everything is in done rather than having a full to-do list going into the week. Most of the things on my list got completed even some that have been on my to-do list for weeks now.

Friday it was a last minute scramble to complete a birthday gift before Saturday.

week-10

The finished project, I think it was a success.

week-14

The calm before the storm and Seamus was just a lazy bones. I guess not so shocking since he woke me up at 4:30 am. He is so stinking cute though I can’t really be mad.

week-7

Rocking out my pink Converse sneaks for the first time this Spring. Love them.

week-9

Took Seamus on a walk around the lake. Can I just say I LOVE living so close to a lake. It makes my heart full.

week-2

The Birthday Boy!  Can’t believe he is one already.

week-12

Lynn does so great on the decorations. Dinosaur theme.

My weekly chalk board saying. Smile with your eyes. Feel it with your whole body!

week-13

Starting this week with a new nail color. It is called lilacism.

week-11

Lastly, Radioactive by Imagine Dragons has been seriously on heavy rotation during my gym sessions this weekend. So loving this song.

How was everyone’s weekend? Did you indulge in some Easter candy?

(Isn’t my Dad handsome?!)

Done!

The thing I love about this project is it is so customizable. (Is that even a word?) You can stencil words on the frame, add upholstry tacks to the corner of the pics to spice it up, or paint the wood in a rooms coordinating colors to add a pop of color. My living room has red accents so I just might add a red block in the very near future, I already have the paint too, BONUS!
