If you make anything with arugula I’m guaranteed to love it and this salad does not disappoint. Josh and I have been taking dinners up to the roof lately to try and soak up this gorgeous summer weather.
This dinner was extra-special because it came after a hard couples workout. Before ExO I was working out at Orange Theory four times a week. Lately…. it has been lazy central over here. I appreciate that Josh is being so encouraging as I try to kick my butt into shape.
I worked out in my new adidas Crazytrain Elite Shoes. They’re perfect for light jogging and weight floor workouts. I love how they are both cushiony and flexible at the same time. Bonus: they’re also super cute and make burning off the calories to enjoy your next meal no sweat!
