The Weekend: Part 2

Hi all! So I left you yesterday just as we were heading out to dinner with friends. What a great time we all had! We went to Casey’s which is one of my favourite places to eat out. There were 6 kids between the ages of 5-10 so I decided a drink was in order. I can’t remember the name of what I had but there was mango, acai syrup and tequila in there and it was delicious!

For my meal I went with the rotisserie chicken breast with a side of veg instead of fries and coleslaw;

I ended up leaving most of the slaw because I wanted room for dessert! I love that you can get mini versions of their dessert and I went right for the mini PB and brownie sundae…

Nom, nom! Here’s a picture of the 3 of us. We’ve know each other since we were like, 2 (that’s a lot of years!!!)!

After dinner we all headed over to an Italian festival that was going on in our old neighbourhood. Two hours later, $120 bucks between the 3 sets of parents and countless amusement rides later, the kids parents were beat and we made our way home. I was hungry again as dinner was 5 hours past at this point so I ate one of these Dare Simple Pleasures bars;

BAD choice because this woke my sweet tooth up and I ended up eating the last of my sister’s lemon squares, too. Funny how that snack didn’t get a picture taken!

We all slept in until 9am this morning. Awesome! I really couldn’t decide what to eat for breakfast because it was one of the rare mornings that I wasn’t feeling oats. I finally opted for a toasted WW bagel with chocolate PB2. On one half I put fig preserves, on the other half there was raspberry. There was a small amount of the PB2 leftover so I put that on the plate too with a side of fresh raspberries.

What a fantastic breakfast! The raspberries tasted really good dipped into the chocolate pB2. We made our way out to the farm and I was so excited to visit with Lacey again. She’s growing like a weed! My MIL timed it so that DD got to feed Lace her 11am bottle. Look at this sweet little babe!

She drinks that bottle in 2 minutes flat. No lies! Some of the “big” horses came to see me today and they seemed so very large after being used to Lacey….and they’re mini horses! Hehe!

Lunch was a quick wrap with egg whites, raw cow’s milk Swiss from Whole Foods and some Sabra hummus. I put 2 apricots on my plate but ended up eating one in favour of some cherries that the kids brought out…

Then I savoured a square of halvah;

I relaxed and read for a good part of the afternoon then at 4 we made our way back to the festival to see the greasy pole contest. I forgot my camera or I woulda taken picture’s for sure! They have a guys pole and a girls pole (which is a wee bit shorter) and each one is slathered with a thick coat of grease. To win the prize (which consists of Italian meats and cheese) the participants have to get to the top of the pole and pull a flag off. Entertaining for sure! I sipped on a small iced coffee from Tim Horton’s while watching;

We each had something different for dinner in an effort to clean out the fridge. The kids ate some pasta, sausage and salad, my hubby had sausage, pork tenderloin and salad and I consumed a HUGE salad with tomato, feta, pork tenderloin, Ted Readers peach & bourbon sauce and some of this Fig Balsamic dressing;

So, so good! Here’s the salad!

I’m just sipping a Camino cocoa hot chocolate while I type this. I think I’m gonna spend some more time outside with my book before preparations for tomorrow have to start. Hope every has enjoyed a fabulous weekend!

Bye for now!!
