Weekend Roundup

We had a pretty great weekend... how about you? As always, it went by quickly, but we had a great time. One of my very best friends was in town for the weekend, so we had a wonderful time just spending time together.

She got in town late Friday night and we spent the evening catching up while drinking wine on our patio. It was perfect.

And then on Saturday she was able to partake in our Saturday morning family tradition - donuts, coffee and Diet Coke at the neighborhood donut shop. This shop has the most delish donuts - light, fluffy and the perfect amount of glaze. Ahhh.... I could eat them every. single. day, but I only let myself indulge in this goodness on Saturday mornings. We have made a couple of friends at this shop and we always look forward to running into them on Saturday mornings.

After that, we went to a local farmers market. They had fresh bread, homemade pasta, organic cupcakes, Texas olive oil and tons and tons of produce. We decided to buy most of the ingredients for our dinner at the market - it was fun to see what we could come up with. We ended up making a pasta dish that we all loved. Garlic basil pasta with spinach, bacon, tomatoes, basil and olive oil. We also had to get a loaf of the jalapeno cheddar bread.

The rest of the day was spent walking around the mall and enjoying a baby free day. The Mr. stayed home with Miss A, so we were able to spend the majority of the day shopping without having to deal with strollers and sippy cups. It was a nice little break.

And then we came home and whipped up this little masterpiece using our loot from earlier in the day. Mix in a bottle (or 2) of wine and it was a perfect day.

I just finished watching the Emmy's and now I am about to crash.

And that was my weekend.... how was yours?
