Get Out!

Had an awesome day out in the beautiful sun...first hiked around and over Tubbs Hill with Jarod and my mom, then got home and loaded up the bikes and headed off to ride the trails of the Coeur d'Alene. It was about a 15 mile ride or so, and it was sooo gorgeous! 

Breakfast: curried cashews & blackberries

Dinner: Italian meatball salad (from chaio mambo)

I am on a total salad kick, last night was the rasberry vinegarette (from moontime) been eating out more than usual because my mom is in town, and we've been out and about. Try these salads if you go to any of these restaurants, they are really tasty! NO CROUTONS THOUGH!
