2. Watching: Moon Knight
I feel like I don't talk about TV or movies much here. Well, I love, love the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe)!! Still, I had zero expectations for Moon Knight. So much so that three episodes had gone by before my twin brother and I finally watched it. Well, it wowed us!
Features: Egyptian mythology! International locations! Adventure! Mystery! Romance!
This is a great show—for real. There are no spoilers here. If you have Disney+, check it out.
FYI. Other favorites on Disney+ include The Mandalorian, Boba Fett, The Falcon & Winter Soldier, Loki, Encanto (We don't talk about Bruno, no, no, no!!!!)...and so many more, we don't have enough time or space here.
Are you also into the MCU?! If so, hit reply, and please share ALL of your favorites. I didn't even mention MCU phases 1-3!
3. Hungry for Poke Bowls
I've been watching several of Linda Sun's vlogs, and she seems to order one like every other video. So now, I wanna live someplace that has a Poke Bowl spot nearby.
Side note: Her editing style is so interesting to me. There seem to be two videos going on: the one you're watching and the one her voice-over is talking about. I can't decide if it's ingenious or confusing. For context, here's one of her recent videos. Thoughts? What do you think?
4. What I Eat in a Week
Guess who is an absolute sucker for "What I Eat in a Day" videos? Meeee!
In that vein, here's a pic of "What I Eat in a Week". I picked some photos from the last couple of weeks. 😜
Clockwise From Top Left:
1. Ambrosia Apple and Hu Hazelnut Chocolate Bar (I usually eat a quarter to half a bar)
2. Dave's Killer Bread Plain Bagel, shrimp avocado salad, red onions, the best dill pickles, black beans, and radishes. *I also added fresh spinach after I took this pic. 😊
3. Fried Tofu Steak, quinoa, and mixed vegetables.

7. Skinny Pop Popcorn mixed with nutritional yeast, Siete taco seasoning, extra virgin olive oil, and Sabatino truffle salt.
8. Dave Killer Bread Plain Bagel with a chickpea salad inspired by this Pick Up Limes recipe.
9. Overnight oats with frozen peaches, strawberries, organic creamy peanut butter, and shredded coconut.
Notes:
All mentions of avocado above = Wholly Avocado Chunky Minis
FYI. I enjoyed these "What I Eat in Day" videos. And you might, too! 😋
PS. Hey, remember in our February 2022 newsletter, when I mentioned savory oats? Well, here's another recipe. This time from Bento Noods!
5. Longing for: Nicholle Kobi Art
I've been following Nicholle Kobi on Pinterest for some time now. To say that I love her art is an understatement. That being said, when I saw Nicholle's Paris cafe painting ⬆️⬆️ it just took my breath away. And I knew that I would re-create it. I see myself and my family in Paris in a cafe just like this. I. CANNOT. WAIT.
Nicholle's prints and illustrations remind me a lot of me and mine. It's such a joy to see yourself in a stranger's artwork. At least I think so. Have you ever had a similar experience looking at artwork?

1. Super excited about Storm Echo, Nalini Singh's next book in the Psy Changeling Trinity series. I already pre-ordered it! I usually buy the audiobook AND the e-book. Cause sometimes the narrator is reading too slowly. 😃
2. I absolutely need a Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Latte in my life. Is it just me? | Liv B
I hope that April finishes strong and May is filled with wonderful experiences for you and yours! And, of course, yummy food causes all roads to lead to food with me. 😍
LOVE,
