The Pursuit Of Happiness: 2.192

A little early, but since Brenden is working at night tomorrow, we decided to celebrate chili day today! We made a lentil chili and it was oh so good, and pretty easy, which makes it even better. We sautéed onion and red pepper, then added garlic and chili powder. After that we cooked together lentils, tomatoes, broth and a bay leaf. After the lentils were soft we removed the bay leaf, pureed some of the chili and added salt, pepper, chipotle chile powder, and red pepper flakes until al the tastes were perfectly balanced. I garnished mine with avocado and cheese and Brenden with sour cream. Yummy in our tummy.



Also, my cousin Jared sent me a picture of there new restaurant signs -- my logo light up and shinning bright on H Street in DC, It looks amazing and a feel so good about it.


The Pursuit Of Happiness: 2.152

From the end of the day backwards. I made a fritata (!!!), and I am so overly excited about it. I've been wanting to make a fritata for at least a year -- probably since I got my cast iron pan -- and I finally found the perfect recipe for my first try. A fritata with onion, garlic, spicy chicken chorizo, roasted red peppers, chickpeas, smoked paprika, spinach and cheese, inspired by food52. It popped with flavor, and was so filling. I just wanted to keep shoveling it into my mouth. I can't wait to eat leftovers for lunch and then make another tomorrow!

I signed up for my first race in 2016, the Hot Chocolate 15K, and I am more then pumped. I don't know if I'm more excited about the run or the swag. Together it is going to be fabulous, and I can't wait to get myself back in gear and going.

Earlier today I received a surprise gift card from my cousin's to go to their restaurant, DC Harvest, as a thanks for some design help. The gift card looked so good. I am so happy and excited to get a gift card to use toward their delicious food, at their amazing restaurant. It was so heartwarming and I feel so appreciated by my cousins.

Before that was my day-by-day 2016 calendar. I am still so in love with it. Just about everyday has been spot on, and each "happiness is…" is pretty much me to a "T." Today was balloons, and I don't think many people love balloons as much as me. In fact, I think I should buy myself one to go with this calendar day (or maybe have Brenden pick one up since it is 10:30 pm and I'm in my PJs), it's been a couple of months since we had a balloon floating around our house.
