So Good To Be Home 🏡 . . Have you ever had thos So Good To Be Home 🏡
.
.
Have you ever had those days where you are in total awe of where you live. Like you find yourself asking yourself “is this real life?”
.
.
That was yesterday for me. There wasn’t anything special about the day. A normal work day and we had planned to go hike the foothills as a family in the evening. 
.
.
We went to one of our favorite trails and off we went. But there was something different. We have been traveling a ton this year and as we walked in the foothills and overlooked downtown Boise, I just couldn’t stop thinking, “Wow! This is where I call home.” 
.
.
The foothills are bursting with flowers, the greenest grass & the smell spring. We hiked for miles & just enjoyed every inch of it that we got to explore. 
.
.
We got home and realized that while we were away for a week our resident robins had built a nest in my garden shed. I’ve never seen such blue eggs in my whole life. My heart burst with excitement & love that we will have the opportunity yet again this year to watch this robin couple raise their babies in our yard. There is something so special to have the new life enter the world right before your eyes. 
.
.
We ended the evening with our first full dinner on the grill. Using locally sourced elk bratwurst, microgreens, onions & our favorite pickles to build a plate we could wait to enjoy. 
.
.
I’d love to hear where you live and what you love most about it⁉️

We had too much fun during our Idaho staycation last week & I’m feeling all the affects of it today!

We wrapped it up with an incredible hot spring soak & I’d give anything to be back in these gorgeous pools right about now!

Did you know that Idaho has over 130 soak-able hot springs 🤯.

Hands down one of my favorite Idaho things to do! 🙌🏻💕✨

Who needs tacos when you can build a fully loaded Who needs tacos when you can build a fully loaded steak salad like this one? 
.
.
We were craving some good food and this steak salad delivered. It is filled with grilled 🧅 and bell peppers 🫑 , fresh greens 🥬 , cilantro 🌿, the best marinated flank steak 🥩 @bruceranchbeef_csa , refried beans, epic queso dip & chips @sietefoods all topped with fresh salsa, microgreens & sour cream. I’m telling you, every bite was bursting with flavor. 
.
.
This might look like a complicated dinner but it really comes together easily. Having the onions and pepper on the grill with the steak is the only way I do it these days. I prep the rest of the ingredients and just have everyone make their own as they’d like. 
.
.
I have been keeping my marinade simple with just a drizzle of avocado oil, couple of cracks of salt, black pepper and a couple shakes of Worcestershire sauce. That’s all you need when you have quality meat you are working with. 
.
.
I also have been trying to perfect a spicy carrot margarita I had @saltrockkitchen while in Sedona. This one was pretty tasty that I paired with my steak salad. 
.
.
I used a cocktail shaker & used 3 oz.  @rwknudsen carrot 🥕 ginger, tumeric fresh juice. Then added juice from 1.5 limes, 2 oz tequila, I love @elmayortequila & a couple large slices of jalapeño. I shook it all up with some ice cubes to get everything nice and cold. You could add a little drizzle of simple syrup but I like mine less sweet. Then take a slice of lime and go around the rim of the glass. Pour some @tajinusa in a bowl and dip the glass to coat the rim. I love the spice of tajin and highly recommend trying it. Add ice to the glass & then pour the margarita in & garnish with a lime.

This is such a fun meal to make during the week to give you something delicious to look forward to!

These Brussels are everything you could ever want in a bite & the green & pop of pomegranate give it that perfect Christmas feel. 
.
.
This recipe is super simple yet packs a lot of flavor. 
.
.

2 lbs Brussels 
2 Tbsp oil 
2 Tbsp black bean paste 
1 Tbsp chili paste 
Sprinkle of sesame seeds, flaked sea salt & pomegranates. 
.
.
Prep Brussels by cutting off the end stem and cutting in half. Place them in a bowl & add the oil, black bean paste & chili paste. Toss until everything is coated evenly. 
.
.
Preheat oven to 400 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour Brussels onto the paper and roast until fork tender but a little added crisp on the outside. Mine were pretty large so I roasted for 30 minutes. 
.
.
Once done, pour them onto a serving plate and top with a sprinkle of sea salt, sesame seed & pomegranate for that pop of color! 
.
.
That’s it! That’s the simple recipe to create these incredible holiday Brussels. Hope you enjoy the little video with a little @adele playing in the background 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ I like a little moody music while I cook.

@airbnb - we actually found an Airbnb that was owned by one of tobis old class mates. Small world & it was absolutely perfect for our stay.

@woodlakemarketkohler - a darling grocery store that has an organic coffee, smoothies, juices & food menu. 
@fieldtoforkcafe locally sourced diner serving up delicious breakfast and lunch. 
@thehorseandplow casual historic tavern, featuring elevated pub fare.
