Excessive heat warning alert!

It's been as hot as blazes outside. There has been an excessive heat warning for like 12 days in a row with temps anywhere between 109 and 117 degrees. I'm so over summer, but there's no end in sight yet! To stay hydrated and cool, I've been drinking a ton of this sparkling water that my husband and I recently discovered, La Croix. My favorite flavors are the grapefruit and the lime flavor. No sugar, no artificial stuff, just sparkling water. Mmm...

I made a pasta salad with chicken that was really good. I made my own dressing this time (I usually use the bottled stuff) and it really made a difference!

Chicken Pasta Salad

For the dressing, whisk together:

2 TBSP apple cider vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp basil
1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup olive oil

For the pasta salad, combine in a large bowl:

bowtie pasta
cooked chicken breast
red onion
cheese
green and red bell pepper
baby spinach
celery

zucchini
olives

Add dressing and mix together.

I was able to lose 4 pounds in August which was good news to me! Hopefully I can do 4 more in September! I have lots of healthy food in the refrigerator to help me out!

I was featured on Snap Happy Photography's blog today, she interviewed me and asked me all kinds of questions about me and my online business.
