I’m dumb. I’ve been trying to ice my toe with a bag of frozen peas but someone said to put it in a bowl of ICE WATER! Hello Monica.
Warning: Don’t try this at home (or near electrical wires). It was wildly unpleasant.
My snacks were good today – nuts and a protein bar…
Protein shake and 2 chocolate rice cakes. Hit.the.spot.
After working for the recruiting company all day I changed and headed to the gym to train 3 clients. This was the longest day ever.
Well, this long day turned into the best day when Ben greeted me at the door with a Watermelon Margarita!!! God bless that man.
And he cooked dinner! He made chicken fajitas, roasted broccoli, warmed tortillas AND cleaned the kitchen. 
I squished together some beans to add to the fun and dinner was served! I swear this is the best meal of my life.
Even though I piled my plate high and I’m stuffed I want dessert. This is probably because I have the belly of a toddler…
I. love. that. picture. I always wondered why it cried for chocolate!
How sweet your Ben is! I must try a watermelon margarita! How do u make it? A mix or fresh watermelon?
He just added fresh watermelon to margarita mix and tequila.
How did he cook the roasted broccoli? I bought some becasue it was on sale and in theory I’m trying to eat better, but it just keeps staring at me from the fridge, laughing because I don’t know what to do with it and I don’t eat raw veggies!
Just put it in a sprayed roasting pan at 350 until it’s done as much as you like. We also spray it with olive oil and TJ’s 21 seasoning salute. I like it pretty burnt.
I think my monday would have been greatly improved with a watermelon margarita. Good thing the word ‘margarita’ can be attached to other days like ‘tuesday.’ maybe i’ll practice that today… 🙂
is it weird that i’m drooling over your pictures of fajitas and watermelon margaritas at 8:30 in the morning? nope, didn’t think so… 🙂
Ben is just awesome!! That rita looks SO good!
Glad to know that I’m not the only person that wants ice cream after eating dinner. Love margarita monday, I will be doing this more often.
Gimmie that margarita now!
Watermelon margarita, sounds goooood!
Three cheers for Ben! Love when they do cool stuff like that.
I was full after dinner last night but made sure to wait a while and let it settle because I HAD to have a piece of carrot cake that we had sitting in the fridge. Silly me, should have just skipped the dinner part.
Way to go Ben; that dinner looks awesome! I always have room for desserts regardless of how much I’ve eaten or how full I am! I don’t try to fight it anymore.
Aww..having dinner ready AND a Margarita when you walk in the door makes everything ok. 🙂 Looked really good.
Awesome! That food looks amazing! My husband surprises me every once in a while with amazing food and then will claim to not be able to cook for the next 4-6 months 🙂 So twice a year I get food I don’t have to cook haha
any monday which involves margaritas is a success.
Are you able to rent out Ben? Just for a week maybe to teach my hubby how it goes!
Watermelon margarita??? HEAVEN!!! Do you rent Ben out?!?
Warmed tortillas are the best. I think I would be happy eating them plain by the dozen. Glad your day turned into such a great one!
All on his own??? I have to write my husband like step by step instruction to preheat the oven so I can throw stuff in when I get home from yoga. Teach us your husband-training tricks!
Yep, all on his own. He used to cook for himself a lot before we met (but it involved a lot of bacon, eggs and cheese). I just have taught him to stay out of the kitchen. Now I realize that was dumb.
Wow, dinner AND a cocktail?!?! Winner, winner – Fajita Dinner!!!
Ben is such a sweetie. You definitely found a keeper 🙂 I love the look of your margarita glasses and am really craving a watermelon margarita right now! Have you tried the watermelon beer (Hell or High Watermelon) by 21st amendment? I think you’d like it!
I tried that last summer and it is SOOO good! Very light and refreshing. hmmm now I gotta go see if I can find it again..
What a great hubby! That drink would really hit the spot.
Ben rocks 🙂
the title of this post alone made me smile/happy; i had to read on! can there be an official declaration that every Monday is a margarita Monday?
