Writing recipes by the pool with a good play list and cold drink in hand is just the worst ?. I would not mind one bit if everyday was a pool day. Plus I’m still trying to make it look like I wasn’t in DC/VA for the past 4 years. I need to get this native AZ tan back asap. Blue is not the new tan, unfortunately.

When it’s this warm outside I love cooking lighter and saying hello to greens and goodbye to comfort food….and this winter bod ?. Nothing like getting into a swimsuit to remind you you should have put the  fork down a few months prior haha (real life).  Ahi is my new thang to help me with summer goals. Poke bowls make my world go round. Clean, light, fresh, and easy….um OK! I whipped up the best ahi marinade/glaze for you guys. This is one of those meals that is not going to slow your summer bod goals down and is packed with great omegas and greens. Dig in to this no guilt summer bod approved poke bowl!
