Hello! How’s it going? How was your weekend?
I had a very good, busy lil weekend. Here are the highlights and random events from the last few days…
1. I went to see the newest member of my family… My sister-in-law and niece are home and doing well.
2. My bff came by brother and SIL’s place to see the baby.
Well, first she went to the wrong house. And she kept texting me saying “I’m here.” …. “Here”…. “I don’t want to knock too loud”
I was confused because I didn’t see her outside or her car. So I went to look around and found her at a neighbor’s house. HA!
3. I miss the Tuckker the Pupper I was puppy sitting. Love love love.
4. There’s a red head on my watermelon!! Watermelons are the best food for gingers (or at least this one).
5. I tried my first poke bowl today! These have been around for the longest time in Orange County but I’m not the biggest fan of raw fish so I wasn’t super eager to try it.
It was good. I liked it, but I think I prefer teriyaki kinda bowls.
6. A friend is trying Green Chef – a healthy meal delivery service. They got the paleo meals and I tried one the other day. It was good, but I miss carbs.
7. I miss my puppy! Did I already say that?
8. I tried the Arm Pocket to hold my phone on a run this weekend. I can’t believe I’ve never tried something like this before.
9. I did some more meal prep for my brother and SIL for this week. I made pulled pork, glazed carrots and corn bread.
The glazed carrots came out so good. I’ll make these again for sure!
10. I also made chili relleno casserole.
11. Sweaty hair. Don’t Care.
12. Apparently I ate PB straight from the spoon at some point… I’m glad I took a picture because I want to relive the deliciousness.
13. I just got The Big Red Head Book in the mail! (Someone from the publisher sent it to me.) I’m excited to check it out!
14. My complete impulse buy in a Las Vegas gas station – neon green sunglasses, is my new favorite thing.
That picture with your niece is precious!
Your niece is SO cute with that smile and hair and cheeks! I think a perfect weekend is good food, babies and books so sounds like you hit a grand slam. I had the food and books this weekend and next weekend I get to meet my cousins new baby in San Diego. I’ll wave to you as I head down on the train 🙂
What a beautiful cherub of a baby. Congrats Auntie.
Best thing I ate was shrimp and chorizo over parmesan grits. It was delicious. We went to a tapas style restaurant so it wasn’t a full meal but so good and decadent. I’m already thinking how I could re-do the recipe to be a little healthier.
Adorable niece. Adorable puppy. And so nice to meal prep for the fam too.
What cornbread recipe did you use? I have discovered how much I love it but I haven’t been able to find a recipe I LOVE yet.
Feel like shearing your chili relleno casserole recipe? Sounds yummy!
Your niece is super cute!! So much hair!
And that puppy is adorable 🙂 Puppies are the best.
I had a great long run (for me) on Sunday – I’m trying to build up my running fitness again! 6 miles with negative splits!
Best thing I ate was steak on the smoker, yum!
Have a great day!
The baby has so much hair!! So cute!
We ate a waffle topped with hot honey goat cheese whipped cream from our favorite brunch place! It was AWESOME. I could literally eat a tub of that whipped cream. We did 3 miles together and talked about upcoming races. I loved that dog and your pictures together! They are so sweet, aren’t they?
Your niece sure is adorable!
I could do with some glazed carrots right about now, too.
