A Double Dose

Mediterranean Zucchini Noodles with Turkey Meatballs

May 26, 2015

We are home visiting our parents, and of course, we went to our favorite place – the grocery store! We stocked up on tons of goodies! We saw some zucchini and wanted to make something delicious with it. We decided to make zoodles (zucchini noodles) with a homemade mediterranean tomato sauce topped with turkey meatballs.

We are so glad we did because this was d e l i c i o u s ! It is SO easy to make, which is also a plus! We are not going to lie to you and tell you that these taste like the real flour-based pastas, but it is a great alternative and satisfies that craving!

Chocolate-Glazed Donuts

May 24, 2015

We hope everyone is having a great Memorial Day weekend! We have had quite the week. Like we mentioned in our Friday post, we had a family emergency, and unfortunately, had a death in the family. It came as a shock and was totally unexpected. We are so lucky to have such a great family and support system.

We did, however, have a funny experience at the airport Friday leaving Dallas. Well, we definitely weren’t laughing when it happened, but now it is funny to think about! So, our flight out of Dallas was supposed to leave at 1:45 PM (or so I thought). We worked out in the morning, ate breakfast, finished packing, and left the house at noon to head to the airport close by.

We usually carry our bags on the plane, but since we were taking peanut butter (which they do not allow you to carry on), we decided we would check our bags. So, we arrived at the airport late (our cab driver arrived late) around 12:40. We went to the self-check-in to print our boarding passes and check our bags. Once we put in our confirmation number, we saw that our flight was scheduled to leave on-time at 1:00 PM, and was boarding at 12:30 PM.

Reppin’ Our Orange at OTF!

May 23, 2015

We were SO excited to learn that Orange Theory Fitness had opened a new location closer to us! We loved the class we took in Plano, but we knew it would be harder to make our way over there more often. Their new location in Preston Hollow is located off Walnut Hill and 75, so SUPER convenient for anyone (including us) living in the Uptown, Downtown, or general Dallas area!

On Thursday night, we attended their grand opening party, which was SO much fun! They had a DJ, delicious food and drinks, a photo booth (which we had entirely too much fun in!), and a great group of people!

We got a chance to meet some awesome people in the Dallas area, which we LOVE! We were obsessed with the adorable photo booth they had set up with the most adorable and fun props! We may or may not have stepped into that booth several times! Now we have some fun pictures to remember this night!

Aside from this location being much closer for us, we loved that it was conveniently located next to a big Trader Joes that recently opened as well. This couldn’t be more perfect since the workouts at OTF are so killer (in a good way!) They will leave you feeling like you could eat the entire prepared food section at Trader Joes! It is also located right off 75, so it makes it so much easier to get in a workout if you know you can run your errands there.
