Memorial Day: Spanikopita Burgers & A Winner

I really enjoyed learning about what ya’ll would do if you won the lottery. Some fun ideas:

Camping Girl would open a children’s bookstore.

Lauren would quit her job ;)

Shannon would open a Bed & Breakfast (and I would visit ;))

And Lindsay wants to open a bakery with me (ok…I added the with me part)

The rest of my Sunday was lovely! I ran some errands, changed up some of my choreography, and went for another run/walk with Josh. Josh had a friend over at night and I used this recipe and the leftover meatballs to make up a mini meatball bake for the boys. My dinner was a bit of a hodge podge, but was wonderful.

Onto Monday! Monday went as follows:

• Taught Body Step
• Brunch with Josh and our friends Jill & Chip

 

• Relaxed
• Housework
• Walk with Frank
• BBQ with Mandi & Bryan

Here is our table setup. I probably should have gone with some red, white & blue for memorial day, but black and white won out ;)

                   

We started with some fresh fruit Mandi brought over and served it up with some of my cool whip dip (1 container cool whip + 1 single serving fruity yogurt):

Mandi and I cooked up the meal together:

                         

which included some Vegetarian baked beans (I cheated and used Bush’s):

                      

corn on the cob (grilled):

 Rachael Ray’s Spanikopita Burgers (slightly modified):

and a cobbler Mandi made based on a Paula Dean recipe (deliciousness):

SUCH a great time! Can’t get enough of Mandi & Bryan ;).

And last, but not least, the winner of Emeril’s Farm to Fork cookbook is….

Biz!!!!! Email me your address (itzyskitchen at gmail dot com) and I will get your cookbook out to you!

What are ya’ll looking forward to this week?
