Peach-Kiwi Salsa

This weekend it is apparent that college football has begun. 
I always know when every Saturday Brents phone goes crazy with updates from every game going on.. (There's an app for that!) And or he is streaming a game from the computer, and watching another one on the T.V.
We also got to go to the University of Utah game.

We won!! 
I don't drink soda hardly ever.. but this second half was a snoozer

 and I literally was fighting to stay awake.. caffeine please.. I was fine after a little D.C. but it didn't get much more exciting... no TD.. = little dancing time.
At least we won, and I got an awesome protein shake cup;)

Last night I finally got to get a little girl time in with one of my besties. Shopping is exactly what I needed.
I pretty much decided I wanted this bed

and this outfit from anthropoligie.

why oh why, does money not grow on trees?


Workout:

This morning started with a fun Body Pump Class, and a 6 mile run. I have the RR relay this next weekend and honestly haven't even looked at my legs! I think its best not to.. haha! Just push me out of the van and I'll start running as long as I can have one of these when I get done..

Can you bring a blender in a van? 

Later, Brent and I decided to take advantage of the perfect weather today (81 degrees in UT!) and head up to the mountains! We went for our first family hike this year!!

Have you ever hiked with a wiggly happy baby on your back? I was DRIPPING sweat! It was tough!!  But hearing her little giggles in my ear kept me going a little farther!


I held B on my back

and Brent had T.

Back home for football, one thing was necessary.. Chips and Salsa.

Peach-Kiwi Salsa!

{Peach-Kiwi Salsa}

Prep time: 10 minutes
Makes about 2 cups
Serves:  two or more hungry football watchers for one quarter


Ingredients:

• 3 kiwis diced
• 1 peach diced
• 1/4 C. Purple onion diced
• 1/2 Avocado
• 1/8 C. chopped lemon balm
• 2 tbs lime juice
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Cut/dice kiwi, peach, onion, avocado and lemon balm

2. Mix well, till all combined and Serve!! If you like a thinner salsa (not so chunky) you can use a food processor to mix it up.. But I like it chunky ;)

This was so good!! If you make one thing this peach season.. this should be it!

Now it's time to lay back and watch the game..

Q. Which college football team do you root for?

Q. Which game day food is a necessity EVERY game day?

We're baaaaaack!

Oh hey!!! I love the fourth of JULY! I love spending time up at the cabin (for those of you who guessed.) with family, roasting marshmallows, hanging out on the paddle boat, fireworks and the rodeo! Doesn't get much better! But I also love coming back home and getting back on schedule (the twinners appreciate this just as much) And settling back into normalcy. Here are a few pics from our crazy weekend!

T&B's FIRST RODEO! They loved it! We even were able to teach them how to MOOOO! & whenever they saw the cows they would Moooo! 

T and I swinging on the swing! He could spend HOURS on the swing. He loves it!

We even hung out for a little while in the paddle boat! Since my babies don't like water I was a little nervous but they did great! 

Since the fourth fell on a monday we packed up and headed home! When we arrived home Brent and I both decided due to the holiday we would have a BBQ! Its a must!

On the menu?

Turkey Burgers with all the fixings!

Grilled Asparagus

Sweet Potato Fries 

Grilled Peaches!

TURKEY BURGERS

I only had about a Quarter pound of Lean Ground Turkey so I added the following

1/2 C. Old fashioned oats

1/3 C. Oat flour

1 egg white

1 tbsp of  Rosemary

1 Tbsp of Oregano 

I mashed it all together and formed two perfectly sized patties!  Everything came together beautifully! I topped my patty on a bed of lettuce with tomato, onion (the size of your head).. cucumbers, with a smear of grape seed veganaise

GRILLED PEACHES?

Grilled Peaches are the bomb. They are so simple and become the sweetest thing you will ever eat. I sliced the peach in half and covered with agave nectar and placed it on the grill. The Agave becomes like a glaze and is simply perfection! 

We ended the night by relaxing out in our backyard watching all of our neighbors fireworks... (hey free, is free..) and once our backyard neighbors were done we went out front and watched others. (The fireworks that shoot up in the air just became legal in Utah so they were shooting over the housetops for us to see) It was so fun and I didn't have to burn up my own money.. haha! Thanks neighbors! ;)
