A cop.
A race car driver.
A fly girl dancer on the TV show In Living Color (circa 1992).
In our adolescent years, these were the three occupations that we wanted to fill out a job application for. in no particular order. Although, we will say being a cop was probably a more realistic possibility since we almost majored in criminal justice back in college.
Could you imagine us as a police officer? We think we could rock the whole crime fighting scenario because there are some major douchers in this world, but we would totally need to re-work the uniform situation. Um, do you think we could have convinced Lululemon to design some updated, yoga-inspired uniforms? Wait. Did we just come up with a billion dollar idea?
Anyways, the universe had other plans for us because we ended up majoring in finance and then started CGM. Funny how things work out. But the reason we bring up the past possible occupations is for inspiration. This lovely little nugget comes in many forms whether through people, places, past daydreams, or large pizzzzzzzzza pies.
And speaking of pizza pies, we were inspired to make this Chicken Meatball Banh Mi Skillet Pizza recently through a trip to California for Eat Sea Retreat: Part Two with some fabulous bloggers. Nothing like a weekend spent at Terranea Resort to leave you feeling truly inspired. We mean look at these surroundings!!
Not only did we breathe in the fresh coastal air and share our concerns through mastermind sessions, but we ate like queens. Started each morning off with Organic Valley grass-fed yogurt bowls complete with all the fixings. We are a big oatmeal smoothie girl, so try to sample their grass-fed yogurt firsthand was a true treat. Definitely adding this to our breakfast rotation.
Lunch was a delightful and much needed salad bar provided by Earthbound, which ended up inspiring us to make today’s pizza. Hello, spicy arugula making everything better!
Plus, you can’t be surrounded by a favorite gals and not have some giggle juice! We had a memorable presentation from the founder of Health-Ade on kombucha. Let’s just say not only is this a wonderful health drink, but it’s a great mixer for cocktails!
Spending a weekend with these ladies: Country Cleaver, The Faux Martha, A Couple Cooks, Eating Made Simple, Edible Perspective, Heartbeet Kitchen, (us), and Her Heartland Soul made the trip.
We just wish we could share a slice of this Chicken Meatball Bahn Mi Skillet Pizza with our homegirls because it’s the bomb diggity. Juicy chicken meatballs on top of a killer spicy Vietnamese sauce, smothered by freshly shredded mozzarella and topped with endless fresh veggies. You’d never know it’s a pizza, which means you can have an extra slice, or two!
A big thanks Terranea Resort, Organic Valley, Earthbound, and Health-Ade for making Eat Sea Retreat possible. We owe you a slice.
