Ravioli with Balsamic Brown Butter

This is one of our favorite recipes!

image

It is so yummy and super quick!

It you are looking for something not so heavy (i.e. sans the butter) substitute it for Olive Oil!

We use the raviolis that we buy from Costco!

The sauce tastes fabulous with the Spinach and Cheese as well as the Chicken and Mozzarella Raviolis!

Definitely don't forget the Walnuts, they totally make the meal! 

Soo good!

Buon Appetito

Can-Do Challenge- Don't Take Anything Personally

The most recent book that I read that has absolutely changed my way of thinking is called The Four Agreements written by don Miguel Ruiz.

The next three Sundays will list the remaining three agreements and give a little snippet about each one :-)
(I have decided that I am going to share a quote from the chapter and the information from the inside panel so that I don't give away any juicy information!)
I would absolutely recommend this book! I have been wanting to do a little personal make-over recently, so this book really helped me!

The Four Agreements written by don Miguel Ruiz shows its readers what self-limiting beliefs we have that restrict us of experiencing joy and creates suffering. The Agreements are based on Toltex wisdom which offer powerful codes of conduct that can allow us to experience freedom, true happiness and love.

I hope that you all have the opportunity to read this book, and if not, please read my posts because they really do help :-)

Don't Take Anything Personally

Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

 

"You take it personally because you agree with whatever was said. As soon as you agree, the poison goes through you, and you are trapped"

"Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves."

This week, do your best not to take things personally. It is so much easier said than done, I know this! Remember that when you find yourself taking something seriously to remember that it isn't about you, it is about them.


Enjoy your Sunday!

The First Fitting

My wedding dress is in!
I cannot even begin to tell you all how excited I am!
I got the call two weeks ago and Sweeter and I are driving up to the Bay Area tomorrow for the weekend so I can try it on, set up any other alterations and get it bustled!
I am so ecstatic right now!
Yay!

We are driving up today, after work, and staying for the weekend, yes a short weekend, but the weekend nonetheless.
I have my appointment on Saturday evening with two of my favorite gals and our moms!

Also on Saturday, Sweeter and I will be tasting cakes.
My Madre and I already tasted cakes...and Sweeter felt left out, so he will be in on the appointment this time.
My Madre and I really liked one cake with another cake's filling, so we asked them to make it and Sweeter and I will try it tomorrow.
We will make up our minds about what kind of cake...tomorrow!
This is all coming and going so quickly, its almost unreal!

Please have a wonderful weekend!
Stay warm and smile more than usual!
xoxo

The Honeymoon

It is final...

We have booked out flights for our Honeymoon!

We leave in mid June and we are taking two weeks to...

Hike the Alps in Switzerland and visit the most romantic city of Paris, France!

We are so excited to eat lots of cheese, bread and chocolate and drinks lots of wine and beer!

Oh, this is going to be the best trip!

We cannot wait!

We are planning to have a loose itinerary in case we love somewhere so much and want to stay

otherwise, we have our flights booked and that's it!

Now on to the fun stuff, shopping for the trip!

Woohoo!

Happy Hump Day!

Garlic Chicken

I was craving some Chinese food the other night...

I texted Sweeter and he found this recipe and bought all of the ingredients and made it for me which I nursed my hurt foot!

We made some brown rice and enjoyed our dinner while we watched some Dexter.

We just started watching it..it is a pretty weird show...to say the least! 

I recommend adding more Chili Sauce, otherwise, it is delicious!

Buon Appetito

I Survived!

I survived my first 6 day week and my first 4am working day!

Thank you for all of the well wishes, we all know I needed them!!

I was definitely worked hard, and it was a lot of fun!

So far, I have been dubbed the "tape-enator" 

because I am a master box taper 

 

I have learned to jog and throw paper

How to appropriately stack and wrap a skid

and how to identify when they are not appropriately wrapped

Oh, and drive a forklift!!

I can pick up a quarter with the fork

I will bet you a dollar that you can't!

Have a Terrific Tuesday!

Spinach Pesto & Pasta

Sweeter and I are trying a lot of new recipes now that we are living together!

 We are having such a blast cooking together! It is so much fun!

We made this last week and it was delicious!
We used a different type of noodle and it was still soo yummy!

If you like lemon, this is the dish for you, otherwise, use less lemon to have a not as strong taste!

Buon Appetito!

Be Impeccable With Your Word

Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love

"Your word is the power that you have to create."
"Tell yourself how wonderful you are, how great you are. Tell yourself how much you love yourself. Use the word to break all those teeny, tiny agreements that make you suffer."

This week, do your best not to tell yourself anything negative...using your inside or your outside voice :-) Also, do your best not to use your words against anyone else.

Enjoy your Sunday!
