Pineapple Pulled Chicken Tacos
Until recently, I didn’t think there was anything that could compete with tacos for making Tuesdays better.
…And then along came Bachelor in Paradise.
After a long time resisting, I finally caved and caught the Bachelor bug, and honestly had no idea what my life had been missing. Bachelor in Paradise, though, is a WHOLE other brand of guilty pleasure, and I am here for it. And last week, I ate these tacos WHILE watching Bachelor in Paradise, and trust… Oh, just trust. It was a good move.
For those who may be unfamiliar with the show, they basically put a whole bunch of Bachelor/Bachelorette alumni on a tropical island and tell them to go nuts. Unsurprisingly, things get dramatic. These people are either out here confessing their love to each other after a WEEK or acting like it’s the end of the world when they don’t get a rose from someone they talked to three times. Sure, I declared my love for these tacos immediately and was devastated when they were gone 15 minutes later, but whatever. That’s not the point of this rant.
Sesame Chili Potato & Cucumber Salad
As much as I like to think I keep it current with internet phrases and memes, more often than not I am actually embarrassingly out of the loop.
Exhibit A: Until a quick Google search about 5 minutes ago, I literally had no idea what a “hot girl summer” was, why everyone has been trying to have one, or where the phrase even came from. Even now though, I only have a vague understanding of the criteria. Does it require having a tan? If so, I’m automatically disqualified. But does it involve cooking in an air conditioning-less kitchen on a 100˚F day and questioning every life choice I’ve ever made? Then I guess I’m nailing it.

I try to live by the simple rules in life. You know, like, always treat others the way you would want to be treated. Always start the day with breakfast. And NEVER go into Trader Joe’s without a plan.
Raise your hand if this has ever been you at TJ’s:
“Well, my cart is at least 85% vegetables, so I guess one box of dark chocolate peanut butter cups won’t hurt. Or 4…”
“FALAFEL SPICED VEGAN CAULIFLOWER GNOCCHI DUMPLING NUGGETS?!? Where have these BEEN all my life?!”
“I don’t know what a ‘Quartet of Snacks’ is supposed to be, but it’s going in the cart.” *SIDENOTE: filing away under ‘genius string quartet names’*
But rules are made to be broken after all, which is why I have more hummuses in my fridge than I can possibly finish, and also why this recipe exists.

HEY, FRIENDS! I disappeared for a very long time, I know. I’m planning big things on the blog for the New Year, but in the meantime, I just couldn’t wait to share this post with you.
Chorizo, Corn, and Burst Heirloom Tomato Frittata
Hey strangers! Are you EVEN surprised that I disappeared again? I’m not. Womp. The last time I posted was right before heading off on tour to New Zealand. That was three months ago. Omg. MONTHS.
I’ve been MIA a lot recently, but between the tour + vacationing in Australia + performing in Oregon + (some more) vacationing in the mountains + (even more) performing at home in NY + finally getting into spinning, I’ve been busy this summer. Especially that last part. Time flies when you’re trying to look cute holding in cardio burps.
