Bites of My Life

Happy first day of summer! I made a huge bowl of this red lentil pasta salad yesterday. Pasta salad screams summer for me! My mom used to make this bow tie pasta salad to have in the fridge during the summer when my sisters and I were out of school. Nostalgia at it’s finest.

I’m coming off a truly superb weekend with newer and some older Dallas friends that has me so confident of my location. In the benediction from church yesterday, the pastor said “ You go nowhere by accident.” I know it’s been two years, but I still hear and feel this reminder often that I am where I am supposed to be.

-Summer means copious amounts of salads, smoothies, watermelon, ice cream, and anything cold. Made my Del Corazon salad for dinners this past week.
-Sungold watermelons! They taste the same as a normal watermelon but are more fun to eat because yellow!!
-Started Stephanie May Wilson’s new prayer journal last week. Already so encouraging.
-Happy hour at Jordan’s to kick off the weekend! She’s the best host in the biz.
-Ellie and I took ourselves out for a boozy belated and early birthday lunch. We were there for almost three hours and could have stayed longer! I love this friend so much!
-Because the natural progression after a sushi and martini dinner is a late-night chips, salsa, churros, and Modelo move.
-Got to break out my new hat twice over the weekend. I’m obsessed with the monogrammed bandanna.
-Got into too much trouble with this girl gang over the weekend. See you all in Vegas ;) !
-Trendy martini but make it decaf!
