Quinoa salad

Posted on

After a bit of a stressful day, a nice, home cooked meal was necessary. The day just seemed to fly by with nothing major accomplished on my end. At first I was without a desk, then used a computer that hadn’t been turned on since 1994 and was frozen from the minute I pressed the power button, to finally sitting at someone else’s desk, where that computer proceeded to freeze up on me 4 TIMES! AH! I wanted to scream.

After work, I came home and hung with the little one. She is getting big!

Worked out by running 3.5 or 4 miles (I’m not sure; I didn’t wear my Nike watch) and then, finally, cooked dinner!

I mixed homemade pesto with chic peas and sun-dried tomatoes. The basil came from the garden! I decided to mix the chic peas with quinoa and it was an amazing idea…

Check out the grilled eggplant straight from the garden! So are the cherry tomatoes and the basil (as I said before) used in the pesto mix. Having a garden was the best idea ever.

Was your dinner amazing tonight? Do tell…

 

all a girl could ask for.

I was so blessed yesterday to be thrown a surprise bridal shower. The gifts were out of this world and all of the finest ladies I know were in attendance. Joe and I got awesome gifts, from bedside tables and lamps (pottery barn), to a down comforter that will rock out the bed for sure, to amazing knives I will use to chop suey the crap out of veggies, to amazing cooking appliances such as the KitchenAid mixer….AHHH, I get butterflies just thinking about it.

I will be vacuuming for hours on end until we get married folks.

Or making breads, cakes, cupcakes, or frosting so my wedding dress won’t fit.

Or staring at these gorgeous lamps so I can try and figure out just what shade will be a perfect fit.

Oh, the possibilities are endless.  Girls..you all did an amazing job and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I had an amazing time.

*Pictures of the shower were taken with my film camera, so I have to get them developed first. Yes, I am an old-schooler.
