Pre-Mama’s Day Dinner

Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend so far! My Saturday was pretty nice. On the upside, the weather was great and I was able to get out for a nice run and out for a walk with Kay and Josh. On the downside, Kay has an ear infection and pink eye. We figured this out on Friday- it came on fast and furious! Poor peanut! Luckily, her meds have worked quickly and she looks and is acting much better/happier.

Last night, we had Josh’s parents, sister and her boyfriend over for a little pre-Mama’s day dinner. Simple table setting:

I pulled out my sweet water pitcher:

I made turkey burgers (with and without cheese- Josh did the grilling). We put the burgers on top of tortillas instead of buns:

A shredded lettuce and sunflower seed salad (both Josh, his Mom & I are huge shredded lettuce fans):

I put all of the salad toppings on the side since everyone likes different toppings. Corn, peas and lima beans:

tomato, cucumber and red onion:

Plate of fruit (very necessary. Love the bottle drying rack in the background.)

10 grain chocolate chip cookies!:

And pickles and roasted green beans (un-pictured). My plate:

Yum! We also all sampled Artic Zero for the first time. Janetha turned me onto this light, protein packed ice cream. We had the coffee flavor and it was very yummy (in my opinion!!).

A happy birthday to the fabulous Ms. Julie!!! And a happy Mother’s day to all the Mom’s out there (especially my Mom and Josh’s Mom!!!!)

What are your Mother’s day plans? We’re going to brunch. Otherwise- I have cleaning plans (hot) and I am teaching Body Pump.

Thursday & Daniel Island Farmers Market

How was your Thursday? Mine went a little something like this: run, shower (summer like weather=wavy hair kind of day):

Work, snack:

Pickup Kay from daycare, head to Daniel Island farmers’ market with my Aunt & MIL:

This was my first time to this farmers’ market this year. It was small, but had awesome booths. One VERY popular booth was the cookie chick:

Seriously, this lady was selling amazing looking cookies left and right. Next time, I’m definitely getting one of those giant sugar cookies…drool:

There was a pickles booth! I got samples of both the spicy and dill. Amazing….

I purchased a pint of the dill. I’m a pickle-aholic:

More baked goods:

We stopped at the Great Harvest booth and both my MIL and Aunt purchased bread. I had a slice of the cinnamon chip while they checked out(so good!):

And of course-produce! I ended up just getting two tomatoes.

And there was a very nice lady selling plants at the end of the market. My Aunt purchased a fabulous looking jalapeno plant:

We went to Sesame for dinner afterwards and I made a black bean burger in a bowl (deliciousness):

And now its relaxing time. Tell me about your Thursday!

What are you up to this weekend? I will be celebrating my first Mother’s day! I’m also teaching a few times, going to brunch, and hopefully just spending lots of time with Josh & Kay. Clif sent me an early Mother’s day present (so sweet! Disclaimer: received these for free):
