Olympics and a (another) salad 🇺🇸💁🏼‍

Olympics and a (another) salad 🇺🇸💁🏼‍♀️
.
I haven’t made this Avocado Chicken Salad in a loooong time, but I randomly had all the ingredients and I’m not mad about it. Here’s the recipe*
*can it be a recipe if all the measurements are made up?
🔹Shredded rotisserie chicken
🔹1 avocado
🔹1/4 cup* Greek yogurt (add slowly. You’ll know the consistency when you see it.)
🔹Red onion
🔹Salt
🔹Garlic powder
🔹Lime Juice
🔹Cilantro (not pictured because it’s the one thing I didn’t have 🤪)

Mix together and serve with crackers, wrapped in a tortilla, in a sandwich, or as is.

She’s DONE! * *Well, minus swimable water, all

She’s DONE! *

*Well, minus swimable water, all the equipment being connected, and landscaping. But this view sure beats the hell out of a construction site.

I keep hearing Joe Exotic in the back of my head saying, “We will never financially recover from this!”

Heather fed me a version of this TikTok inspired salad and I had to immediately recreate it, it's sooo goooood. And so easy! It's super versatile so I threw in produce we already had, modify to your family's taste. ⚡Save⚡ this post for your next salad craving!⁠

For the salad, toss together:⁠
▪️ pearl couscous (cooked according to package)⁠
▪️ roasted corn⁠
▪️ mozzarella pearls⁠
▪️ avocado⁠
▪️ halved cherry tomatoes⁠
▪️ chopped romaine⁠
▪️ chopped red onion⁠
▪️ chopped cucumber⁠
⁠
For the dressing, whisk together:⁠
▪️ 1/3 cup vegetable oil⁠
▪️ 1/3 cup white wine vinegar⁠
▪️ 1 tbls white sugar⁠
▪️ 2 cloves of garlic, minced⁠
▪️ salt and pepper to taste⁠
⁠
Toss together and serve! I made a huge batch so I kept my avocado on the side so it wouldn't brown in the leftovers.⁠

Today was one of those #mommilestones where I’m

Today was one of those #mommilestones where I’m just in awe of how far I’ve come. I took both kids to @fairytaletownsac by myself, which in itself isn’t much. But, I wore a *dress*, shoes that wouldn’t allow me to sprint after anyone at a moment’s notice, and I even did my makeup. I did swap my purse for a backpack, but that was really more for my enneagram 6-ness and having to be prepared more than for kid purposes. I didn’t make one single empty threat about having to go home, there was no stroller to push, I didn’t have to manage any social situations, and I spent the majority of the time supervising from a nearby shady bench. You guys, I think I’ve made it. Is this what life with big kids is like?!
.
The last time I took both kids here by myself, I left a sweaty hot mess. I was frantically trying to keep both kids in one general area, we were still doing diapers, Nolan was doing a Tasmanian devil impression across the whole park, all while managing Isla’s sensory input. Needless to say, it’s been a while since we’ve been back, plus it was shutdown for a while. But Isla asked if we could go last week (when it was 118°- she wasn’t happy when I said no 😆). Today, I made it happen, and here I am feeling damn proud of myself!
.
Don’t worry, my hair was still filled with dry shampoo because I know where I came from 🤣 also, tomorrow will surely be a train wreck, but I’m going to revel in my moment!
