A Good Start

Many have started the year out on a diet or just trying to improve their lifestyle. Sometimes eating healthy can be really daunting and don't know where to start. This is a really good option that I've been just loving. On Sundays I always meal prep mostly because I have to have everything ready to eat at a moments notice when Theo falls asleep. I wanted to share with you what I've been eating for lunch lately. This dish is a great go-to as you can switch up the ingredients to make it what you like. 

As you can see I used:

Cherry Tomato's

Avocado

Cucumber

Quinoa

Red Onion

Shrimp

I love simple recipes! Feel free to tweak this as you see fit. That's the best part it's super versitile! Swap the shrimp to chicken or steak for your protein or the Quinoa for brown rice. I'm currently not eating meat so that's why you'll be seeing more meatless and seafood in my recipes here.  

So if you don't know exactly what do to first with healthy eating this is a pretty good place to start.  

Enjoy your Tuesday!

Simple Salmon

These days the "fast" in Fast Fashionista has a whole new meaning. When I have a 15-20 minute window I have to be ten times as fast as I used to be. So dinner through the week has to be really fast...and healthy. This is one of my favorite salmon recipes because it's both. Perfect when you're looking for something with health benefits but so don't feel like making your kitchen a mess or really dealing with dinner in general. It's this simple:

2 salmon fillets

1/2 pound asparagus  

1 1/2 olive oil

2 tbsp minced garlic

salt for taste

lemon slices

parsley for a little flavor on top

Cut your salmon in half if not done already and cut the ends off of your asparagus. On a piece of foil add your asparagus and put a piece of salmon on top. Then, in a small bowl mix together oil and garlic. Sprinkle salt for flavor and add two lemon slices, add your parsley and wrap your foil. Pop it in the oven on 400 degrees for 25 minutes and pour yourself a drink. 

Enjoy your Wednesday!

The Happiest New Year

Happy New Year!!

I basically flipped out when I realized that January 1st, 2018 was on a MONDAY! You may not know this about me but I have always loved Monday's and when the year starts on one it's the most perfect way for a fresh start!

So talking fresh starts and now that I'm back and blogging, let me share with you what I'll have going on. Fashion and food of course, and I'm really excited to bring back my Martini Moment but it's coming back with a twist...see what I did there? Since the arrival of Baby K this will be my one mom post a week. Friday's will be "Mom's Martini Moment". Because what new Mom (or any Mom) doesn't deserve a drink at the end of the week? 

I always like to reflect on the year that has passed and I'll tell you it was one like I've never experienced. What went from a year that was planned to be full of travel (Venice, Iceland etc.) turned into one full of sleeping, eating, and in the end, delivering a baby. I couldn't be more happy or feel more blessed. But this new land of motherhood has me in a different frame of mind more than ever before. I always have resolutions. I feel like it isn't New Years without them.

Here are my very simple goals for 2018:

More reasons to celebrate. Like new shoes or simply because it's Tuesday and it's a great day to be alive.

More shoes (sorry MK) 

Allow time to appreciate the little things. Like more than four consecutive hours of sleep.   

Further cultivate my love of fashion. 

More. Organization. 

Run more often.  

Be a good Mom, raise a good human.  

Date nights.  

Champagne Sunday's. 

More dog walks.  

Make more time to read. 

Thanks for stopping by! Cheers to you and a new year! Let's do this 2018!
