Seattle, WA: What to Do/Where to Eat!

The Pacific Northwest is definitely a MUST do on your travel bucket list. 

It has the mountains.

It has the ocean.

It has the green/forestry.

It really was the complete package!

And, despite the bad rap of it being dreary & rainy all the time, we experienced gorgeous weather!

We took our trip in the early part of September 2017 and started the first half of the week exploring all things Seattle.

Things to Do:

• Explore Pike Place Market: I loved the Market and could have went back every day! The flowers are gorgeous, the fruit is delicious, and the atmosphere is so fun! Watch them throw fish (when someone purchases one), sample fresh fruits, browse the shops, and people watch!  There are places to stop and have lunch (especially clam chowder!) within the Market (more on this in a little bit!)
• Visit the first Starbucks: We just took our picture by the outside because the line was crazy long!
• Make a stop by the famous gum wall: An iconic spot just outside the market to grab a photo!
• Grab a beer at Seattle Beer Company!
• Check out the Seattle Aquarium: Down & across the rode from the Market. Makes for a great activity if it is rainy! 
• Ride the Ferris Wheel by the Aquarium!

• Explore the Upper Queen Anne area: Rumor has it that Meredith Gray's house on Gray's Anatomy is in this district! Make sure to stop by Kerry Park which has amazing views of the city and the Space Needle!
• Speaking of, visit the Space Needle!
• Explore the Fremont area: just across from Queen Anne is the Fremont area and it has cool places to eat, shop and hang out! Be sure to check out Gas Works Park. Fun vibes & another cool view of the city!
• Take a sea plane tour of the city: This was a surprise activity to the guys & it was so cool!!The weather was great that we got to see an awesome view of Mount Rainier and we flew super close to the Space Needle!

• Visit the Starbucks Roastery: This place was so cool we went back a couple different times! Like the Willy Wonka of coffee! 

Where to Eat/Drink:

• Beecher's: There is one near Pike Place Market, you can see them making all the delicious gooey mac-n-cheese right there! YUM!!
• The Crumpet Shop: Delicious pastries!
• Caffe Fiore: A cute, local coffee shop in the Queen Anne area
• Top Pot Doughnuts: You can't go wrong with these!
• Morsel: This is a serious MUST!! Biscuits out of this world!
• Fremont Brewery: Cool vibes, good beer, & pub food!
• Cask & Trotter: A great place for pub style BBQ food that was delicious & reasonably priced!

This was the first part of our week vacation.

Stay tuned for our adventure in Olympic National Park!!

Easy Balsamic Chicken Bake

The other night after a busy day of work and afternoon of running errands, I needed a quick dinner option! Also, we're leaving for vacation soon and I wanted to clear out the fridge.
I threw together an idea and it turned out super yummy!!!
This recipe can easily be tweaked to what you have available and it was seriously SO easy! Love that!!

Balsamic Chicken Bake

Ingredients:

• Chicken breasts (I had a thin sliced package of about 4)
• Provolone cheese slices (as many as you have chicken)
• Broccoli (I used frozen, you could also do a mixed veggie bag, brussel sprouts, etc. Really, the options are endless here!)
• Balsamic dressing
• Parmesan cheese

Make it!

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees
• Place chicken in a baking dish, layer on provolone, spread vegetables around chicken, sprinkle parmesan on veggies, and drizzle balsamic dressing overt everything!
• Bake for about 30-40 minutes, until chicken is done and veggies are tender!
• SO EASY!!!! :)

**I made egg noodles mixed with a little bit of butter, salt, and pepper and served this dish over that. You could also do rice!

I hope you enjoy this recipe!

Have a great day!!

Summer's coming, Grab your shades!

If you are a glasses wearer like myself, you know how important prescription sunglasses can be for comfort (and style!) Have you heard of Warby Parker? It is an online glasses retailer that is trendy, fun, and affordable. They carry traditional eye wear for both men and women. Recently, they launched their 2017 summer sunnies and they are worth taking a peek at!

The fun thing about Warby Parker is their home try on system. You choose five different frames that you are interested in and they ship them to your door step for FREE! Then, for the next five days you get to try on the frames and get a feel for them in real life. After the fifth day, jot down which ones you loved and send them back in the pre-paid box!! It is that simple, and you don't even really have to leave home if you don't want! :)

Any questions, just ask!
