Summer Questions from The Blended Blog

When Andrea emailed these prompts, I knew I would have to participate because questionnaires like this help y’all get to know me a little better.  And I can’t wait to read everyone else’s because I love getting to know more about other bloggers and seeing what we have in common!
1. Pool, lake or ocean? I love all three!  Although I feel the safest in a pool–no sharks or alligators ha!
2. Camping, cottage, or hotel?  Hotel for sure
3. Favorite ice cream flavor?  Chocolate chip cookie dough–has anyone tried the Halo Top cookie dough?  It’s amazing!
4. PJs, nightgown, tshirt/shorts or birthday suit?  t-shirt
5. Fave summer beverage?  I love to drink water all the time, but if I want to splurge I’ll make an Arnold Palmer–half unsweet tea and half lemonade
6. Would you rather be hot or cold?  It depends on the situation but overall probably cold since I can always add layers.  
7. Sandals with heels or flats?  Probably flats although I do love a good wedge
8. Shorts or skirts?  Skirts and dresses!
9. Sit in the sun or the shade?  Both!  The shade after I get hot 😂
10. Water, tea, or soda coke?  Water always
11. Fave summer fruit/vegetable?  I love zucchini and strawberries
12. Sunrise or sunset?  I’m a morning person but not early enough to see the sunrise!
13. Bike ride or walk?  Walk or running!
14. Winery or brewery?  Brewery
15. Garden or no garden?  I love eating from a garden but not having to do all of the work haha  Thankfully, my in-laws have a garden and we reap from that!
16. Big summer concert or music in the park?  Big summer concert!
17. Fave cookout food?  Smoked meat
18. Dine indoors or patio?  Outdoor dining as long as I’m not sweating
19. Fave summer destination  The Gulf
20. Big theme park or local carnival?  Neither
21. Drinks blended or on the rocks?  I’m not a fan of cocktails–too sugary

Friday Favorites!

Happy Friday, y’all!  I’m headed back to school today to a day full of meetings and a day without any type of nap ha!  I normally spend the week before school starts getting my body back into my normal school routine–bed before 10 and up around 6 (although during school I’m up way before 6).  That didn’t happen at all this week, so I know today will be an adjustment.

Since today is Friday, I’m sharing a few of my FAVORITES with you!

 I shared this recipe yesterday and it’s really so, so good!  I love Mexican food, but I don’t love eating at Mexican restaurants…if that makes sense.  I can make Mexican food so much healthier at home and not be tempted by the bottomless baskets of chips and salsa.  Add this recipe to your rotation because it’s full of so many different protein sources that it’ll keep you full for a long time!



 I snagged this green smoothie recipe off of IG stories the other day.  I haven’t made it yet because I’ve got to order more protein powder, but I’ll update y’all when I do.  It looks really good since it’ll have the vanilla flavored protein powder and I would be using vanilla almond milk, too.



 I ran hardly any this summer, so yesterday I ran outside to try to acclimate my body to running in the heat again.  It was rough.  It’s hard knowing how far you used to be able to run (3 miles was considered an easy run) and then running 1 mile feels like it’s going to kill you.



Anyone else love this skirt as much as I do?!  I would pair a chambray shirt with it or a cute v-neck tee and wear it with my favorite wedges!  (I would link the skirt but JCrew’s site is having issues at the moment!)

Salsa Chicken & Black Bean Enchiladas

School starts back for me tomorrow and that means suppers will need to be easy and fast during the week.  I made this dinner last week and total time was 30 minutes!  You can’t get any faster than that unless you’re making ham sandwiches 😊

You’ll want to start your crockpot salsa chicken at least 3-4 hours before you actually start assembling your enchiladas.  You can use frozen chicken breasts or raw.
To make the crockpot salsa chicken:
2 chicken breasts
1 jar salsa
-Cook on high 3-4 hours or low 6-8 hours
-Take out of crockpot and shred in a bowl.  You won’t use all of the salsa that’s left in the crockpot.


Salsa Chicken & Black Bean Enchiladas
crockpot salsa chicken, shredded
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp onion powder
can of black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup shredded cheese (I used Mexican fiesta)
3/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream but the yogurt is healthier!)
can of red enchilada sauce
6-8 tortillas

1. Preheat oven 350 degrees and grease your 9×13 baking dish
2. In a bowl, mix together all spices, chicken, black beans, cheese, and yogurt.
3. Spoon a little of the mixture in the middle of each tortilla, roll up, and place seam side down in your baking dish.
**My dish held 6 enchiladas so you can make the other 2 in another dish or you can save the rest of your mixture to make oven baked nachos!
4. Pour your entire can of enchilada sauce over your wrapped up tortillas.
5. Bake for 15 minutes!
