Oh Palm Springs, how I missed you so…
If you have been following this blog you know that we spent a lot of time at a vacation home in the beautiful city of Palm Springs last summer. Spring is here and its starting to warm up, so we took advantage of the weather and headed down for some fun in the sun.

It wouldn’t be the same without amazing food. When we were at the market buying our lobster tails…I had the idea of making “Jaiva” (hi-va).
……………………………………………………………………………………
Your shopping list:
Baby Shrimp
Imitation Crab Meat
Cilantro
Cucumber
Ripe Jalapeno (optional)
5+ Lemons
Tomatoes (optional)
White Onion
Salt
Chile Powder (optional)
Tapatio (optional)
…………………………………………………..
Lets get started.
You will need to rinse your shrimp really well with cold water.
Add to a large bowl.
Shred crab meat, then add to bowl.




YUMM!
After dinner, it was time for a nice warm bubble bath for little Jude Isaac.
When he was tucked in and deep into his sleep, Carly and I had our girl talk time over mini cups of ice cream and nail polish.
In the morning, we started the day with fresh juice from the trees out back.




We have so many fruit trees in my moms back yard my whole life…I don’t know how we don’t have one of these pickers…this is a must!
