1. How can it be June 11th!? As in, we’re almost halfway through the year? I guess I should check in with those 2013 aspirations soon…
2. I have a bottle of Bacardi in my freezer. Why? Well, raspberry mojitos were totally necessary last Saturday. $12 rum for mojitos all summer — deal.
3. In eight days, I’ll be eight times three — jolly gee! It doesn’t seem long ago that I turned 21 and ordered my first raspberry mojito… the rest was history (see #2).
4. Caprese pasta sounded like a great idea, until I confirmed – yet again – that fresh mozzarella just ain’t my thing.
5. I’m gym-less — gasp! No CrossFit box, no running… this looks scarier than it actually is, I promise. Injuries have the right of way.
6. I have a bag of stollen apricots in my freezer and one dozen more ripening on my counter. Sorry, I’m not sorry — an abandoned apricot tree can’t get past me and my boss. #eatlocal
7. I totally skipped May’s Tuesday Tidbits. Oh bother.
8. I kinda sorta maybe have a musical crush on Eli Young Band.
9. Breakfasts this week include Zucchini Almond Meal Muffins… and, by the way, I will never “be Paleo.”
10. I’d say the boyfriend is pretty spoiled: Summery Salmon with Apricot Peach Salsa & Honey Basil Walnut-Crusted Salmon.
It’s a busy week for me… hope to “see you” soon :)

Weekend Things
I think one of my favorite things about being in a relationship is cooking! It is too fun experimenting on someone who will eat anything!
I’m a big fan of mojitos as well! But, I just tried a pineapple guava mimosa last weekend at brunch and it was kind of amazing.
For Memorial Day, I made Jenna’s (Eat Live Run) Apricot Whole Wheat Crostata. Turned out great!
Oh yum, a crostada sounds wonderful… and sophisticated ;)
Both those salmon dishes look awesome! I’m definitely going to check out the recipes!
this post made me so hungry! those apricots look awesome! so jealous! and the salmon looks to die for!
I haven’t been going on much (read: once) since my 21st birthday so besides straight up shots, I haven’t tried too many drinks; however, I absolutely adore Mojitos so Strawberry Mojitos are probably ten times as good!
We just got the first apricots of the season and I am so EXCITED. Summer fruits are the best!
Love Eli Young Band! Wow an apricot tree sounds glorious!
YUM, raspberry mojitos!? Share the recipe!
I would say that your boyfriend is pretty spoiled too!! That food looks so tasty :) So funny that you mentioned apricots because at the store on Monday, they were sooo fragrant! I need to purchase some and get to experimenting. I opted to buy the dried apricots to make some energy bars…yum!!! Yay for summer :)
I wouldn’t pass up that apricot opportunity either ;)
Haha. Love that eat local hashtag!
June birthdays are the best!!! :D And yours is coming up… VERY soon now! :) Mine is next Wednesday!
Happy Birthday to you! :)
