Circles in NYC

Lauren and I searched for circles along our walk in Hudson River Park and High Line to make this collage :)

On Your Mark!

Spring swim meets have started. The first one was a little chilly, but Lauren was a trooper and gave a great swim in all four events! She's the one in the dark swim cap :) And the sunset was breathtaking.

Grow little garden, grow.

One Pot Meals

Have been in a dinner rut recently, so was on the search for something new to try. Stumbled upon this recipe for One Pot Orecchiette Pasta and have made it twice now. Pretty easy and quite tasty. My new favorite ingredient is tomato paste in a tube :)

Just dump everything in the pot, stir, bring to a boil, then cook over med-high for 12-15 min. Stir in some parmesan, and serve with arugula. Some of the recipe reviewers suggest using chicken broth in place of the water, so might try that next time for a little added flavor.

21 Days and Counting...

There's been a whole lot of walking/running around here, ever since we joined my SIL's 'Mile-A-Day Challenge'. Participants must walk/run a minimum of 1 mile every day (no exceptions!), and last man standing wins (a pool of money we all chipped in at the start). Will see how long we can keep it up :)
