February 14, 2018

Happy 5(One thousand)alentine's Solar day, you little lovers out at that place! Are you jubilant Valentine's Day with your lover or Galentine's Day with waffles and your all-time friend? I'thousand not really doing either. Considering instead, this weekend we go out for a Valentine's trip to Phoenix. We went to Phoenix last year in February and didn't have the best atmospheric condition (I mean, it was 60 degrees which was still warmer than Denver and I was out by the puddle anyways) but it looks like we will be greeted with mid seventy's temperatures and hopefully a hot air balloon ride. Every bit of right at present on the to-exercise list: eat, sleep, massage, puddle cabana, workout, more eating, more spa experiences, and some making out in between. Not a bad weekend.

Speaking of lovers, our gym had a singles day over the weekend. About 30 people came and did workouts together then went out for drinks and getting to know each other. I've been at this gym for 7 years now and this singles affair is very new. At that place were no single get-togethers when I was unmarried. Information technology was fend for yourself in the wild west of dating. However, I notwithstanding did encounter my husband at the gym. Dating someone at the gym can be disastrous but it tin also work out in the all-time mode. And luckily, we worked out and neither one of usa had to quit the gym! Since our gym moved locations a piffling over a year ago (moving closer to downtown), we've been getting all sorts of good looking men and women. And watching the relationships and "relationships" go down has been magical. Gym lovers drama is the best thing ever to gossip about at our ladies potluck nights. I live for it.

But plenty nigh lovers. Let's talk about something Exciting…tomorrow! You know what tomorrow is?! The launch of my new leggings line!! In case you missed it in Nov, I came out with my start pair of leggings. And since those first pair did so well, I teamed upwardly with 4 Athletics again to come up out with Half dozen NEW PAIRS of leggings!! I've been sharing sneak peeks of the leggings on my instagram story throughout the week, simply tomorrow is the official launch date! These leggings will only be bachelor for 20 days and then the campaign will cease and they will go to impress and into your hands!

Later the first pair of leggings launched, we took everyone's feedback and improve this next circular. They are thicker, a dissimilar fabric, and they are also a unlike mode. I personally like having all sorts of different style leggings on hand and these vi pairs have something to offer for everyone out in that location!

Filet Mignon with Béarnaise Sauce

Author: juli

2 bundles of multicolored carrots, peeled
ii tablespoons high rut avocado oil
2 tablespoons ghee
2 filet mignon
table salt, to gustation
garlic pulverization, to taste

For the béarnaise sauce:

2 tablespoons white wine
ii tablespoons cherry wine vinegar
ane minor shallot, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, roughly chopped
3 egg yolks, at room temperature
1/2 cup melted ghee
ane teaspoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, roughly chopped
table salt, to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place peeled carrots on a blistering canvas and toss in loftier oestrus avocado oil, salt and some garlic pulverization, to gustation. Place in oven to roast for 25-30 minutes, depending on how yous like your carrots (I like mine pretty burnt).
As shortly as you get your carrots in the oven, place a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of ghee. One time pan is very hot, pat filet mignon dry, sprinkle with salt and garlic powder on one side, and then add to your hot pan. Once it's in the pan, salt and garlic powder the other side. Now leave it alone. Depending on the thickness of your filet mignon, you'll want to let the steaks melt for about viii-ten minutes per side. After 8 minutes, turn your steak and you should have a gilt chaff on the seared side. Cook for some other 8-10 minutes. To get the perfect cooked steak, utilize a meat thermometer and remove steak from pan once it hits 145 degrees F, for medium rare. After you lot remove your steak from the pan, permit it residual on a cut board for 5-ten minutes. This resting period is very important considering it will reabsorb all the juices and create a very tender, juicy and flavorful steak. Don't skip this office! Your lover volition thank you.
While the steak cooks, brand your béarnaise sauce. In a small skillet, add together white wine, red wine vinegar, shallot and tarragon. Melt for about 5-eight minutes, until the liquid cooks off. Then cascade the cooked shallot and tarragon into a alpine bricklayer jar or glass. Add together 3 room temperature egg yolks. Place an immersion blender in the bottom of the glass, turn on then slowly pour the warm ghee to help emulsify the mixture. One time combine and thickened, fold in lemon juice, parsley, and common salt!
In one case steak has rested, serve up with roasted carrots and béarnaise on the side then your invitee can choose however much they desire to pour on top! Happy lovers day!
