Broccoli Bean Salad & Treat!

This quick and easy salad is one of my favorite things to eat for lunch.  The cannellini beans are protein packed and will keep you feeling full! I usually make a big batch on Sunday night and package it up into containers to take with me for lunch throughout the week.

 Ingredients:
1 can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 cup uncooked broccoli, chopped
1 handful of grape tomatoes
1 cup fresh mozzarella, cut into chunks

Directions:
Combine all ingredients in bowl.  
Make dressing: 2 coarsely chopped garlic cloves, salt and pepper to taste, 1 part balsamic vinegar to 2 parts extra virgin olive oil.  If possible, let the salad sit overnight so the dressing gets absorbed into the ingredients.

Maui Snapshots

My boyfriend and I just got back from our quick getaway to Maui.  We spent our days lounging at Big Beach, soaking up the sun, sipping on tropical cocktails, attending a wedding, and visiting with friends and family. 

 Here are a few of my favorite snapshots from our weekend visiting the island of Maui....

I have ZERO balance, but somehow did a nice job paddle boarding!

Weekend Snapshots

This weekend was the kickoff to my birthday month (yes, I celebrate my birthday all month long).  I celebrated with a champagne happy hour at Vintage Wine Merchants, dinner and wine at LB Steak with dad and grandma, and preparing for my trip to Maui in a few short days.  Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend as well!
