hooray for weekends!

ugh. sunday night again. why must you go so fast, weekend? don't you know i love you?!

what a productive weekend it was! friday i made this:


looks tasty, doesn't it? well, letmetellya, it's not only tasty. it's delicious! it's braided lemon bread. special thanks to Smitten Kitchen for this super yum recipe!  it's fairly simple to make too! Smitten Kitchen is one of my fav recipe sites. if you've never checked it out before, now is the time. super yummy recipes with beautifully written directions (including pictures!!) that help challenged cooks/bakers like me make spectacular dishes!


as you know, the hubs and i are working on being flexitarians. we decided to put a twist on mac n' cheese tonight! we added roasted bell peppers, sauteed onions and mushrooms to white cheddar mac and cheese!



it was delicious!  it was made with love. lots and lots of love. so much love, in fact, that i burned my thumb while roasting the veggies :( i think my thumb will survive. and i now have proof that i actually make food, not just eat it! see Mom! i cook!

the rest of the weekend was filled with adult beverages and delicious food. we celebrated noel and diane's wedding on saturday. congrats to the newlyweds! although it rained all day, it surely didn't stop anyone from celebrating. good party, friends!

and now it's almost time for bed... have a great week everyone!
