Summertime, and the livin's easy...

I absolutely love the summertime. It's such a great time to get outside and workout without feeling bored. You can jump on your bike, go for a hike, jump in the pool, or just take a walk and enjoy the fresh air. My favorite thing to do is to go hiking, wether its a harder hike to get to a beautiful view, or just a leisurely hike through the woods.

Unfortunately, because of my hip injury, even though I have been off crutches for 3 weeks, I am unable  to part-take in most of those outside activities, but just being outside is enough for me.

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July holiday & weekend. My boyfriend came to visit and our 1 year anniversary of dating was on July 5th, so on the 4th I made a wonderful dinner for us (and my grandparents). I made mozzarella stuffed chicken breasts, healthy fettucini alfredo, and garlic parmesan pull-apart bread. (Since I don't eat meat, I didn't eat the chicken, but it looked so good and I was told it was yummy!)

I also made a bunch of 4th of July inspired goodies. I made white (blue) chocolate covered oreos, firecracker cookies, and white chocolate covered pretzels. They're so yummy - I can't stop eating them!
