Weekend Sunshine XXV

/

Whew what a Monday. This week is jam jiggity packed and I'm hosting Easter for the first time this year (more on that later). I'm glad I've had a few weekends of organization because I'm not going to have a whole lot of free time this week. Grateful to have a full plate though, right? Won't be hearing that "b" word over here.  No siree mister! Moving on... the weekend was nicely and lovely. Aren't most weekends nice and lovely?  Here are the sun-shiniest moments:

Back to Townsman will my tribe on Thursday. I am so grateful for these ladies - they mean the WORLD to me. 

We ate a hen. See that mangily little claw up on the right? Lol. Honestly it was so good though... those are chickpea gnocchi plated around it. OMG good.

On Friday after the gym, I made this little salad which was SCRUMPTIOUS. Spiralized zucchini, roasted chickpeas, tomatoes, and a tahini/rice vinegar dressing. Yum Yum.

This watermelon vodka drink got a lot of love on Insta. Here's what I did:
1 shot vodka
1/2-3/4 cu cubed water melon and a few leaves of mint, mashed
Lots of ice
Club soda
Squeeze of lime

 

On Saturday, I worked and then Rob and I had dinner with our parents. It was FANTASTIC and I didn't take one measly little photo. Whoops!

In almost 10 years, I've never had breakfast at L Street Diner. (Did you know they have breakfast?!). Rob and I went on Sunday morning and it was delightful. Great prices, super nice staff, and great food.

On Sunday, my brother and I visited the fam. It was nice to see the witch hazel tree that my mom planted in memory of my Nana, finally in bloom. So pretty against the snow.

Cheers to the freakin' weekend!

HOW WAS YOUR WEEKEND? DID YOU MAKE A SUMMERY BEVERAGE? HAVE YOU BEEN TO L STREET DINER FOR BREAKFAST/BRUNCH?!

Hope you had a great one! xo

Friday Favs

Good morning and Happy Friday!!  I have the next couple of Fridays off for working the weekend and I must say it's quite nice. Running errands during the week is a much less stressful task than running errands with the rest of humanity on Saturday. Today, I plan to have a low key day -- clean, gym, errands, relax, and make a nice dinner. This weekend, we have a couple of exciting commitments that I'm really looking forward to. For now, here are my favs of the week!

The prettiest and healthiest bowl of grapefruit sprinkled with antioxidant-rich cinnamon. 

The tiniest heart shaped pancake. ☺️ 

A picturesque sunrise over Castle Island on Wednesday morning. So calm! 

Back to Townsman with my favorite gals last night.

I feel this way about the best women in my life. Let's be more supportive of other women. 

Have a great weekend! Xo

Weekend Sunshine XXIV

/

Hello hello! I hope you all had great weekends! Mine was productive and fun! I was able to tackle A LOT of Spring cleaning and also spend some quality time with friends. I was even grateful to work yesterday because I have an event on Wednesday so I was able to cross a lot of prep work off my list - win! Productivity at its finest. Here are my sunniest moments of the weekend:

We kicked off Friday night celebrating Andres' birthday at Loco. Man, it lives up to the hype. The drinks are perfection, the food is crazy delicious, and the atmosphere is energetic! We had a BLAST and not just because we were drinking tequila - the company was superb :)

Becca, Janet and I sending selfies to Rae & Kim.

Laughs with Roberto.

On Saturday, I made a mean stack of gluten-free, blueberry pancakes...

... Went to the gym and took a sweaty gym selfie after. 

Cleaned my condo until it was spotless and put together a bag of about 20 pairs of shoes to donate...

Then, had the girls over and served the essentials: Cheese and Prosecco.

On Sunday, I worked and then went home to make Italian Spiralized Zoodles again. Except, this time I used organic chicken sausage instead of a fried egg. I must say, it was pretty fantastic.

HOW WAS YOUR WEEKEND? HAVE YOU DONE ANY SPRING CLEANING? DO YOU LOVE OR HATE TEQUILA? 

Have a great week! xo
