One of my biggest weaknesses is Chili's Southwestern Egg Rolls!  Oh my stars...they make my waist line seriously hate me but, my taste buds do one serious happy dance!


I found this recipe and I'm thinking next weekend I will try to make my own!
I do however, still want to try to mix up an avocado ranch dip like that yumminess Chili's serves up!!
So if you have any tips when it come to the dip pretty please send my way!  

Stop by Annie's Eats for the complete and sure to be delish recipe!

"The fact is, sometimes it’s really hard to walk

in a single woman’s shoes.

That’s why we need really special ones now and then

to make the walk a little more fun.”

I just love discovering new blogs and when I stumbled upon Pure 2 Raw I knew it was one for the blogroll!

The first dish I plan to try from the super fit twins, Lori and Michelle (authors behind the blog) has to be their
Pesto Sauerkraut Lasagna!

No bake, gluten-free, vegan???...Ok, you had me at no bake!

How AMAZING does this dish look?!  Full of color and perfect for summer!

I Spy: Beachiness

My desire to pack up and relocate to the beach doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon.

Today I keep catching myself swooning over coastal spaces that have me seriously contemplating putting my house on the market...like today! 

I love my current home, I'm just kind of over the location.  I'm 100% that person who gets bored easily and needs change every couple of years. 

I wish I could just pick my home up and move it east to sand and sea. 

Have I lost my mind?!

I'm not sure I will be able to wait until the December 25 release date!!

See the trailer  here..  And tell me what you think?!!
