TSS: Guide To Aspen In Summer

POV: you’re sipping a fresh aperol spritz under lemon trees with a breeze in your hair and the smell of cacio e pepe wafting in the air…

no you’re not in positano, you’re at @dolcerivieradal 🍋🍊! one of our favorite vibey spots has finally reopened their doors post covid with a new menu and the same great atmosphere. the music was an upbeat mix of genres & is anything but sleepy!

they offer seating on the patio, in the main dining room and in the bar (where we sat!) for a more loungey meal. our sips were delish and we loved every bite!

meal pics:
💛meatballs & polenta
🧡burrata & tomatoes
💙filet mignon
💛asparagus side
🧡cacio e pepe

we’ve always loved dolce riviera for brunch on the patio but loved our dinner date as well. thanks for having us @droesepr! 🍊

I'm realizing quickly as a new mom that sometimes I have just a few minutes to dash out and grab some grub -- and I love when I find fresher, healthier options for food on the go!

Enter Pollo Campero: they just launched their new Grilled Camperitos, 100% white meat, Peruvian, citrus-spiced, grilled chicken nuggets, and they are so insanely flavorful! I love their fresh sides as well... I couldn't decide between the Corn Salad or the plantains so I didn't and got both 🙂

You can order Pollo Campero at the restaurant, for pickup, through the loyalty app, third party delivery vendors (Uber Eats, GrubHub, Postmates & DoorDash) and at us.campero.com!

✨when it came down to choosing a special piece of jewelry to celebrate our littlest loves, Ty and I knew @matthewtrentjewelry would be the perfect destination. he and his team have created every sentiment jewelry gift for us so far - my engagement ring, our wedding bands, anniversary gifts, birthday gifts and now our push present!

I knew I wanted something timeless that would fit the aesthetic of my wedding jewelry but would also stand out - after all, nothing about this pregnancy journey has been ordinary! Kiley, Matthew's daughter, helped us select something I may have never tried on if not for her... and it's stunning! shopping for jewelry is kind of like shopping for your wedding dress... you might have an idea of what you want to start with, but when you try on something unexpected you might be pleasantly surprised ❤️

I cannot wait to show you what band we chose! she's stacked on my finger in slide 6... any guesses?!

a letter to my daughter on international women’s

a letter to my daughter on international women’s day:

baby girl,
being a woman is an unbelievably beautiful thing, but there’s no getting around it: it comes with challenges.

you’re entering a world that will expect you to be pretty, slender and soft spoken. smart, but not smarter than a guy, successful, but not more so than your partner. you’ll learn quickly that being underestimated comes with the territory.

unlike your brother, you’ll be taught to never walk alone at night, to be vigilant in parking garages, to keep an eye on your drink and to always check the backseat of your car before driving.

while you’re trying to understand your sexuality, you’ll find out there’s an incredibly thin line between being too “prude” and too “slutty.” the world will have an opinion on when you get pregnant, and even more to say if you don’t want to get pregnant.

expect for society to deem you less capable than your brother in almost every capacity.

but sweet girl, don’t be discouraged! the truth is, women make the world go around. you are inherently and instinctively strong. you need to know your contribution to society is invaluable. there’s no limit to what you can accomplish, and your dad and I will be there lifting you up every step of YOUR way.

and to my sweet son,
remember always that you don’t have to be a woman to support them. men of quality respect women’s equality. her victory is your victory. 🧡

MEDITERRANEAN ROASTED CAULIFLOWER SALAD with cream

MEDITERRANEAN ROASTED CAULIFLOWER SALAD with creamy tahini dressing 💛

this nourishing salad or side dish is bursting with flavor thanks to spices like paprika, turmeric and garlic coating crispy roasted cauliflower and chickpeas! the quinoa and avocado add heartiness and the creamy tahini dressing is nutty and bright.

roasting vegetables brings out NEXT LEVEL tastiness -- like eat-a-whole-head-of-cauliflower in one sitting goodness. why, you ask?! high heat and ample seasoning concentrates the flavor of veggies, making an "okay" raw veggie like cauliflower taste down right irresistible -- in less than 30 minutes to boot!

I love that this dish can be served as a hearty, meatless main course salad or as an amply nourishing side dish! the filling nature of chickpeas, quinoa and avocado gives you a salad or side that's robust with texture, flavor and plant-based protein.
