hello luvs,

we have mentioned before how much we love quiches. and already made a kale veggie quiche that was very tasty. we consider these recipes of ours as crustless quiches because that is what we grew up with, but a few of you have mentioned it could be a frittatas. so call it what you may, they are healthy, quick meals! and even great for a post workout meal. 

this time around we wanted to make a quiche that had all the ingredients of our post-workout eats lately. that way we could enjoy it right after our workouts.

so we got to thinking ok key ingredients are dark leafy greens, sweet potato, and eggs. what could we make with these? um

quiche!

yes!

3 ingredient quiche!

doesn’t get much easier then that.  it is so easy to make too!

we made this quiche crustless because we do not really like crusts. we know we know, sometimes the crust is the best part. but we really just like the filling. so that is what we focused on.

and wanted it to be very simple. and that is what we did with this recipe. it is easy. it is healthy. it is naturally gluten free made from wholesome ingredients.

if you are wanting to use this quiche but want a crust we would suggest this almond crust recipe. or another great crustless full of protein and super easy recipe is this baked quinoa pie.

we feel this is great post workout because you have a balance of protein, alkalinity, vitamins, minerals, and a good carb source to fuel your muscles.  now you do not have to always eat this for post workout, really can be enjoyed anytime.  just a post workout meal we have enjoyed before.

after we workout we just want a pure wholesome foods, which normally consists of eggs, some type of green and a little sweet potato. we usually just throw these ingredients into a bowl and enjoy, so this time we wanted to try something different.

hope you enjoy the recipe as much as we did.

we are currently in Orlando at Disney for the Princess Half Marathon working with Raw Threads. our next few days are going to be very busy and crazy, we will try to keep up with everything here on the blog.  we are excited to be here, always love coming back here as it reminds us of our childhood. Lori is a huge Pluto fan and Michelle loves Goofy.

Twins Question:  What is your favorite Disney character? Disney movie? have you been to Disney? do you like coming to Disney?

children are amazing teachers.

they can teach us so many great things that we tend to forget about on a daily basis.

these are just a few life lessons that our niece has taught us these past few days.

a child teaches us

that it is okay to make messes as long as we clean them up

playing with our food is fun and makes it taste better

to be patient

that quiet time is needed

take each opportunity to learn something new

that we all need washable markers to wipe away mistakes

to treasure the little things that mean the world

that carrying around pillows and blankets everywhere is cool

that hugs are needed daily

how important family play time is

to live spontaneously

that it is important to stay hydrated

that life is filled with so many little precious moments and blessings

Twins Question: What life lesson have your learned from a child?

thank goodness for iphones to allow us to capture all these life moments

till next time,

xoxo

what does Joy mean to you?

for us it means…

being with loved ones

enjoying gluten free pumpkin pancakes with our niece

enjoying healthy wholesome foods…

fresh juice and lots of green smoothies

and getting our workouts in first thing in the morning. this is big for us, as we have mentioned before how it was a goal of ours to do morning workouts.

yep, for the last 4 days we have been getting our workouts (1o minute interval workouts and some Tone It Up workouts) done at 7am! first thing we do before we start our day. well knowing a little one is coming over helps get us up and going in the morning.

but we once the little one is here it is hard to get work done. we know we have said this many times when we are home with our niece, but we really love spending every minute with her. she is want brings us JOY!!

who knew that these three letters could mean so much

Twins Question: What are two things that bring you JOY?

we love our grain free sugar free mini cakes!   we are so thankful for Alex’s recipe idea!

hard to believe you can get a cake out of just a few ingredients.

now these cakes are not the average cake texture. they have a unique lightness and chew, plus have a little texture due to the nuts. but we absolutely adore them.

and this time we used walnuts instead of hazelnuts.  so a great source of Omega 3!

we doubled this recipe as we were traveling so wanted food on hand for our trip down to FL.

and they make for a great dinner, haha, not that we are speaking from experience.

and sorry we have been a little MIA these past few days.

this little one has been stealing our attention.

doesn’t she wear the green mustache so well??

she still loves her green smoothies. and this morning she tried a little of our juice!

we only have a few days with our niece, while home doing wedding things, so we are soaking up every minute with her!!

then we are off to Disney for the Princess Half Marathon with our older sister. anyone running?

have a great Monday!

till next time,

L & M

hello friends!

it really has been a long time since I have mentioned anything about how my wedding planning is going.

well today I am giving a little preview of what decisions Gary and I have been making about the wedding.  we still have a few things left to do but majority of the decisions have already been made.

first thing I found even before my dress was my green shoes.

as soon as I saw them I knew these are the shoes that I wanted to walk down the aisle in. priorities right? shoes first then the dress haha

let me back up here a a little bit… let me tell you all how I came about planning my wedding. after I got over the stress of so many decisions to be made and things to do I have been really enjoying the whole wedding planning process.

I was never that girl that knew exactly what she wanted for her wedding, so I was open to all ideas!

I got inspired from my pinterest wedding board and discussed my ideas over with Gary and the family. I wanted the wedding to be simple, fun, real, neutral with a hint of green, but elegant at the same time.  and non-traditional.

hopefully we can pull it off as we are doing most things ourselves!

this week I am making some final decisions on the florist contract and centerpieces. which we are doing the centerpieces ourselves. I have a few ideas in mind so hopefully with the help of my mom and sisters we can put together something simple and elegant. I do not want to do too much, since most people do not even remember the table settings. I want the main focus at the wedding to be a celebration. everyone having just have a great time.

I picked up my dress a few weeks ago and have put it on twice already —> just to make sure and still feel like a princess when I put it on.

finally got the bridesmaids outfits finalized. that was the other big issue with me and making decisions. I did not know what I wanted, but again turning to pinterest and weddinggawker really helped with ideas.

yes it is blurry as I want the final outcome shown at the wedding. sorry. have to leave some anticipation right.

since the wedding is outside in south Florida I wanted a fun, comfortable look for my wedding party and groom. plus I am doing very nontraditional things for my wedding. I am going neutral, khaki pants and white shirt for the boys.

Gary and I did finally sent out our formal wedding invitations. if you remember our save the dates we tried to keep the same look and feel for our invites. we did the invitations ourselves! (trying to save money in some areas) well Michelle designed it, I wrote it, and Jen (my older sister) approved the design and Gary approved it all. then Michelle and I printed them all (which was a larger project then we were expecting). then it was time to hand write them all out.

cheated on the sealing part of the envelopes. thank goodness for tools that help.

all ready to go! phew

next big things to check off our list is finalizing the menu for rehearsal dinner and the wedding reception.

for other cute ideas that I am thinking of are:

getting Mr. and Mrs. shirts made for Gary and I (hint hint hint Jen).

got wood boards for the dessert table thanks to Gary’s dad cutting the wood for me.

flower bouquets for me and the bridesmaids will look similar to this picture, not quite but you get the idea. mostly green. as you can tell that is the highlight color of the wedding.

right now I think that is it. the countdown is on. getting excited!

till next time,

xoxo

Lori

ps- I did get some blood work results back the other day and I will share more updates my me and my skin soon. just trying to take everything in. thanks again for the support!
