Weekend Roundup

We went to a friend's birthday party at the skating rink wherein I played it safe remaining skates-less, and the hubs showed that he still had what it took (in the 7th grade).

Yay Daddy!

Emi and her friends

After the skating rink, we headed over to another friend's house for a BBQ housewarming (and I failed to get any pictures!), then we went to another friend's home for his last outdoor movie night of the summer. ;.(

I SO enjoyed talking to these ladies!

The kids watched Frozen while the adults socialized around the yard. It was a nice gathering with friends.



It wasn't long after this picture when my folks called for help because their car had broken down out in BFE on the way home from one of their dances. It was funny to head out to give them a jump when all I kept thinking about was how the roles were reversed. We gave them a jump to start their car and headed back home. Today was a lazy day (not really) consisting of kitchen cleanup, trip to Sam's and not much else... Sunday Dread has kicked in so I've bookmarked some recipes I want to try soon and I'm signing out.

Recipes to try:

• Black Bean and Quinoa Burgers
• Vegetable and Egg Muffins (We made something similar for go-to breakfasts when South Beach Diet was all the rage.)
• Mini Chicken Pot Pie Bites 
• Best-Ever Sticky Asian Ribs
• Layered Salad in a Cake Pan
• Smoky Eggplant Dip
• Apricot Pistachio Squares
• Easiest Fridge Dill Pickles
• Nancy's Chopped Salad
• Avocado Salad Cups (I would LOVE these for work lunches!!)

Hope you have a wonderful week, friends! I am looking forward to a long next weekend already...
