Unforgettable Boise Weekend 💥 . . We started it Unforgettable Boise Weekend 💥
.
.
We started it off enjoying good food and drinks with good friends as Dk & Sarah wrapped up their final days as a restaurant at @eatatpetite4 .
.
.
We made our way out to the trails during any window of good weather that we could find. Loving this time of year when the hills are so lush and filled with the smell of fresh rain and flowers. 
.
.
Made what might be the best sandwich I’ve ever made before. Using locally sourced ingredients from the @boisefarmersmarket to stack the ingredients high! Posted a reel so you too can enjoy this deliciousness! 
.
.
Another trip to the hills to enjoy great views of Boise below! 
.
.
Finally made it to @mebc_dtboise downtown & enjoyed live music and a beer before another storm rolled into town. Such a fun new spot in Boise & we love any place that allows Fin Boy to join us. 
.
.
Lots of mornings snuggled up by the fire enjoying more locally sourced meals & of course trips out to the garden to see how all my plants are doing with this crazy weather and downpour of rain! I tell ya what, everything is looking beautiful.
.
.
Snuck out to the Boise foothills one last time last night to soak in all the wildflowers that are covering the hills and stretch our legs before the week ahead! 
.
.
This weekend in Boise was everything I was needing and more! Time spent with my family, out supporting locals, exploring new places & tending to my home and garden. 
.
Feeling replenished and ready for the week ahead. Hoping you too had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! 💕✨

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⁉️

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!
