The Cooper Restaurant and FroYo

Yesterday I woke up and got in a 3 mile run followed by 30 mins speed-walking. I totaled 5 miles which I feel pretty good about these days! (Still learning to take it easy for medical reasons)

Later, during my lunch break, Bryan and I met his boss for a celebration farewell lunch. Bryan recently accepted a position at a university and his boss wanted to congratulate him and send him off with positive regards. She is definitely someone whom he learned a lot from and we will miss seeing her. We are definitely excited for the future too!

We went to an amazing farm-to-table restaurant called The Cooper. It was phenomenal. I ordered the falafel kale tzatziki hummus wrap and a side salad and was not disappointed. Every bite was infused with flavor!

Bryan ordered the blackened mahi burger with a side of sweet potato fries and they definitely stole the show! 

They were perfectly sweet, salty, and slightly crisp- just the way I like them!

We will definitely be back to this place! 

The atmosphere was great- with huge open floor plan and mixed indoor/outdoor seating. 

It was so nice to sit down with Bryan's boss and so nice of her to treat us. I felt like a chapter of Bryan's life is coming to a close as he moves onto a new career path.  It was so neat to see how all the people he worked with really appreciate and respect him.  I am so excited for all the things God has in store for the next chapter! 

After lunch, I went back to finish out my day of work from home and before I knew it it was 7pm!  Bryan and I went to meet some good friends of ours at our favorite Froyo place in Palm Beach Gardens- Yogurtology. 

I had chocolate with oreos, s'more bites, chocolate covered waffle cones, chocolate chips, and frosted animal crackers. It was a perfect way to end the day. 

Have a great Wednesday!

A Peachy Evening

Yesterday I spent a full day out West for work. As a rep for a medical company, I frequently find myself in far away places enjoying a new adventure every single day. One thing I noticed was the large availability of fresh produce at ever corner. From peach stands to strawberries, the town I was in had lots to offer. By the time I got home from work, after fitting in a 5 mile jog, I was starved for something fresh. Thankfully I had loaded up on fresh veggies and peaches at the Green Market last weekend. Starting with a few sliced carrots and garlic hummus as my appetizer, I began figuring what I would have as my main course.

It was one of those nights, after working and running- I was not about to go out again to the grocery store. I decided to check my pantry for a quick dinner. I am a true believer in having lots of color at every meal- encompassing fruit, grains, protein and veggies as much as possible. One look at what I had on hand, I decided to make fresh corn tortilla burritos with a side of carrots and celery. It was the simplest dinner- but ever so tasty and healthy!


Preheat oven to 350 F. Place 2-3 Corn tortillas on a pizza pan.

Spread a thin layer of refried beans on each tortilla. Then bake for 8minutes. Once hot, sprinkle a small amount of cheddar cheese one each one and fold tortilla in half. Delicious!

After a healthy dinner, a refreshing shower, and a phone conversation with my boyfriend, I curled up on the couch with a good book and a freshly sliced peach. A perfect way to unwind, if only every night were this relaxed.. ;-) Then again, I like my busy life too... Balance in life is what keeps me rejuvenated.
