Fun Evening!

This afternoon LB, Daisy and I packed up and met Lew to run a few errands and have dinner together. Even though I bought groceries yesterday we decided to use a gift card we had been given and have a quick dinner out together at Applebee’s.

On my way to meet Lew I stopped and ordered a pumpkin coffee with cream from Dunkin Donuts. These are definitely my favorite! I like the iced coffee but the pumpkin is a little much when I get the iced. I think next time I will ask for just a little of the syrup.

The highlight of my evening was my sweet babies in the high chairs at the restaurant.

These are my favorite bibs!

LB and Daisy are 8 months now and the time just keeps flying by. They are doing so many new things: sitting up, clapping their hands, sitting in high chairs at restaurants and pulling up in their cribs. I love all the new things but I also wish it would just slow down a little bit.

For our dinner we ordered from the 2 dinners for $20 menu. This came with an appetizer and 2 entrees.

We had spinach and artichoke dip for our appetizer

I had the oriental grilled chicken salad with dressing on the side. I did not eat but about 1/4 of this dressing. I like it but if I would had used all of this I wouldn’t have been able to taste anything else.

Thursday night is my favorite TV night. Tonight we not only have Grey’s and Private Practice but we have been catching  up on our DVR. Since we have put the babies down we have already watched NCIS, Modern Family, and Cougar Town. (Our babies go to bed really early.)

What is your favorite place to pick up coffee when you are on the go? How do you order it? People always seem to question when I order cream only.

What is your favorite TV night?

Best Smoothie Ever

This morning I created the best smoothie I have ever eaten! It was simple and I loved it. Basically it was a plain Green Monster smoothie. I have a hard time just using a few ingredients in my smoothies because for some reason I want to put everything in there. So today I went a little more simple and I love it!

Green Monster:

  • 1 cup skim milk
  • 1 scoop of vanilla whey protein
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 tbs. peanut butter
  • Handful of ice
  • around 1 1/2 cups of fresh spinach
  • 1 tbs. honey

Place all ingredients in blender and blend away!

All I can say is that I can’t wait for breakfast tomorrow :)

Today I took High Intensity Training class and Hard Core. H.I.T was super hard! We did crazy stuff and lots of planks! I made it to the end and was very proud of myself! Then I took Hard Core which was basically 30 minutes of pure Ab torture!

For lunch I made my favorite: roasted veggies! I love roasted veggies!

With spicy and honey mustard on the side.

You can read here how I make my roasted vegetables.

This afternoon we are going to meet Lew in town and have dinner together! I am excited :)
