hot hot hot popcorn

Want to know the trick to getting a LITTLE buffalo wing sauce on each piece... without it being mushy?

Spread the buffalo sauce all over the inside of the bowl, pour the freshly popped corn in and stir with a large spoon. Makes for the perfect popcorn every time. ‪clean eating‬, baby! 


Enjoy!

A Night with The Smashing Pumpkins

I'm officially Pantages de-flowered. 

What a BEAUTIFUL VENUE! I thought the State Theater was stunning (which it is) but comparing the two, Pantages has a smaller / more intimate feel.  The acoustics of the venue are superb. 

Excuse the lack-luster photos. I hope to someday had a permanent 'media' badge at these events to take better photos. For now, the Samsung will have to do!

The show was broken up in what felt like three sections, Billy kicked everything off with solo performances and slowly incorporated more band members. Midway through the excitement built with guitar solos that resembled that of Pink Floyd (insert thumbs up motion here!). Third section started with a more electronic feel, Billy played the piano and the crowd at numerous points were brought to their feet.  The energy of the venue was contagious. You could feel the excitement between songs as we all wondered what was about to come next. 

The Smashing Pumpkins don't have many acoustic shows like this, so when they do, at a City near you, be sure to catch it! 

Worth every penny.

bison burgers

Too good not to share! Two words; bison burgers! Mmmmm, drool.

Better yet, we made them low-carb on the grill. Delicious and so easy. If you're looking for a hearty dinner that's loaded with protein, healthy fats and 'getting bikini ready' by ditching the bun --  try this!

BENEFITS OF BISON OVER GROUND BEEF
- Excellent source of iron, vitamin B, zinc and niacin
- They are much learner animals than cattle
- Bison are not treated with antibiotics as cattle which make for a much healthier animal (score!)
- Most if not all bison are grass-fed which means meat is less fat and higher in omega 3's  (score, again!)

BISON BURGER RECIPE
- 1 pound of bison meat (look for discounts, Whole Foods offers meat discounts if you keep an eye out!)
- dash of salt and pepper
- lettuce cups/strips to wrap around the burger
- avocado
- mozzarella cheese (or any kind of your choice)
- pickles (and lots of them!)
- avocado

OUR FAVORITE TOPPING
Cut up onions and mushrooms simmered in ghee... (we pop all of this in tin foil and throw  it on the grill, scrumptious!)

For the meat into patties and add them to the grill (as shown below) and enjoy with your unique toppings!

Father John Misty + Alabama Shakes

Ahhhhhh....yes. It's here, live outdoor concert season. My absolute favorite time of year!! This particular concert was spend enjoying the tunes of Father John Misty and Alabama Shakes. 





GA is the best, simply get up as far as you can to the stage (without pissing anyone off).
Challenge accepted. 



See the gal in the middle? I totally get it, been-there too. Feel the music!

The first of many more to come with this handsome fella! 

Who are you looking forward to seeing this summer?

Book Store Energy

Meandering through Barns and Noble on my lunch break with a half-calf in my hand, here I stood. I've always been intrigued by this section of book stores. It's like a magnet drawing me into it's very core. Just being in the presence of the words of hundreds of authors that have unlocked the mini-mysteries of life, transcends my energy field. I feel a zing of electricity in the air just standing here. It's like little secret whispers of the divine speaking through each book. Which one to pick...

Wednesday Rock Concert

Regretting every minute of not having my nice camera with me but who am I kidding, I was a rock concert...who brings a nice camera to a rock concert. And what am I doing taking photos instead of watching the show, anyways ---  I can't help it.

Cage.

The.

Elephant.

I scored these free tickets and wasn't sure what to expect. I wasn't a loyal listener of any of their music so slightly unsure of what the show would be like.

Needless to say, FANTASTIC SHOW!

We go there in time to catch the second opening act of Nothing More. I swear I saw Jim Morrison every time I looked at the stage....see what I mean?

On to Cage...

Wearing the highest heels I had as to not miss a thing....5'2 is rough at GA concerts

One of the many in-crowd moments

I found this especially interesting, a tie between new and old? 

Going to a rock concert on a Wednesday is not advised, Thursday was tough.... but this one was WELL worth it!
