Josh's sister arrived last night and will be living with us for the month of June while she takes a class at a local college. We are SO thrilled she is here. To celebrate, we had a mini fiesta last night. Josh's friend Jeremy also joined us. I made Brown Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookies (I used smart balance, egg whites instead of eggs, and both baking soda and powder vs. just soda):
A peach and blackberry crumble:
Hummus and veggies, pretzels, crackers:
Turkey meatballs (1/2 lb lean ground turkey, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, 1/ cup parm cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic, 1 egg white, roll into balls throw in crock pot with sauce- cook) with garlic toast (Arnold's thins) for the boys:
And I made some black bean dip (for the veggies). It was a yummy little fiesta!
Today is the usual work, then I teach Body Attack, and then we may go out somewhere for dinner. Hope you have a good one!!
