Last week I....
Did this: Booked my trip to Vegas. Vegas, you ask?! What's in Vegas? Great question! Well. It won't be my husband and children. Shocker, I know. In fact, I don't know the last trip that I took without my husband. Now that I think about it... the answer has been never. Before we started dating? 7 years ago? And the only time I have left Elliana was for my SIL's Destination Wedding 2 years ago. So this? This is a big deal.
And to answer your question... It's for a Bachelorette Party! Might I add... I am going with a bunch of party animals. Might I also add... I am no longer the party animal I once was in College. Might I also add... none of these girls have ever had a baby. Yet alone two. Which means? I better not be the "Mom" of the group. So. Jillian Michaels... kick my butt. Cookies? We must part ways. If only I could stick to this....
Read that: I've been reading a lot into foods. Ever since we decided to switch our eating habits a couple years ago, I'm always intrigued about articles related to food. Harvard published a great article on whole grains, an easy read, and totally got me thinking.
Snapped this:
Bought that: New place mats for Elliana: Summer Infant Tiny Diner, Pink
. These are awesome. Non-skid, best invention ever. More of our favorite forks and spoons for her: OXO Tot Fork and Spoon Set, Aqua
. Some spring dressed and shirts from Zulilly.And lastly, Target mint skinnies and white skinnies----AMAZING. Truly. The fit was perfect, and the husband {who hates colored jeans} said he loved them. That's big guys.| Except... you would never catch me wearing shoes like that |
Instagrammed This:
Cooked that: A lot of our favorite go-to recipes as well as some new ones this week. New ones included: Homemade Granola. Healthy Cookies. Stuffed bell peppers {recipe on blog last Saturday}. Rosemary whole chicken. Skinny Chicken Cordon Bleu.
I was surprised that with all the new recipes I loved every single one except for the healthy cookies. Wait, why would that be a surprise? Healthy Cookies? The name sounds terrible. And honestly... the first cookie was okay? The rest? Went to the trash.
Our top two favorites? The chicken cordon bleu {husband is begging for me to make again} and the Homemade granola<----- husband's co-workers who had some are asking for the recipe as well. It's seriously that good. I have to say, I didn't use the raisins and added chopped walnuts after it baked! We have been eating it everyday! I love that I am finding recipes for our favorite foods and that I know exactly what is going in them.
That, and, E and I enjoy cooking together. G just watches. For now.
