Lately my life has gone from relative peace and steady progress to forever flux and the sensation that I'm dragging my feet through heavy mud. This I believe is in direct correlation with the fact that I just moved. I think the older you get, moving feels less fun and adventurous and more terrible.
But let's stay optimistic. My above pictured buds are now all living within 3 minutes of us (kewties!) and moving gave me the excuse to use up all our perishables to make an enormous pre-moving feast for friends in the park. See below for quinoa radish and lime salad, grilled pork spring rolls, homemade pesto pasta salad and Shandies!!!!
I also got to be super creative with the last bits and pieces, and came up with this sweet potato enchilada chicken pie! It was awesome and soooo easy.
As I'm slowly settling in to my new apartment, I'm discovering all it's wonderful potential, but until I figure it out I will wait to post about my new abode. In the meantime, enjoy this pie. It is a great way to fill your belly and your potential.
