Beloved Family Dish

There are many dishes that we love in my family but one that I love the most is called Aji de fideo. I believe it's a Bolivian dish but I'm not entirely sure. It's a pasta with beef, veggies and potatoes all in one pot. Easy to make and delicious to eat. My mom makes it the best! I don't know what she adds to the food when she cooks it but its just out of this world. I could eat it just about everyday! I like to think of this dish as my feel good dish. My siblings may or may not feel the same way but I know that if all of us were to pick one dish it would have to be my mom's invention called Mom's food. Another one pot meal that is very versatile, in the sense that you can add as many veggies as you'd like and it will taste good in the end. Mom's food is a pasta with veggies, hot dogs, and eggs. Another feel good dish!

My first time...

Many of you  might read the title and say to yourself, "Oh la la!" .  Well, no juicy adventures in the night here just a girl who took her first fitness class! It all started with a day adventure into one of my favorite places in Virginia; Charlottesville. I absolutely love it! From the small town vibe, to the university gatherings, to the awesome vineyards. I took a barre class at a friends' studio, Barre[d]. It's a great little place that packs a punch of a workout! I took the Sport Barre class that was about 45 minutes long. I got to work out various parts of my body; arms, legs, flutes, back etc. I definitely felt the effects off it the next day when I realized that I've been missing some ab muscles in my regular workout  routine. Now, I am looking for barre classes in my neck of the woods. It'll be a great way to change up my workout routine during the week. I guess you could say that I am hooked! After that workout I got hungry and needed an energy boost.
So, a small group of us went to grab a very yummy cup of coffee at Mudhouse coffee. Afterwards my bestie and I split from the group and went to Brazos Tacos for a late morning snack/early lunch. Great decision! I am going back to both places the next time I am there. After all that food goodness I had to change from sweaty workout clothes to clean clothes to walk around town. I thought it would be a good idea to check out some antique shops, and maybe find something unique. I found a cute little fox box to hold some Starburst sweetness. The other antique/second hand shops had many interesting things, had it not been for my friend there I probably would have bought a few more things. After visiting those lovely shops it was time for me to head back home. Overall it was a great day with great friends!
