"Detox" Wrap up:)

After an absolutely FANTASTIC Friday night....we knew the 2 things we DID NOT want on Saturday:  Bread or Meat! :) hahahahahahahha....can you blame us?? :)

I started off Saturday with a bowl of Quaker Oatmeal Squares with Blueberries & Unsweetened Almond Breeze....

Which tasted even better on the BREEZY SUN PORCH!!!!!!!!!  It feels like we hadn't been out there in SOOOOOOO long!  TOO HOT!  But Saturday was a PERFECT day to get reacquainted:)

And after a 2 week hiatus, we also got reacquainted with the Farmer's Market...and we STOCKED UP:

I have ideas for ALL of this stuff this week:)

I'm excited to try the Raspberry Vinaigrette I got from "the corn folks" :) .... (they had a "Apple Cider Vidalia Onion" dressing that I'm DYING to try...but I have to wait for FALL :)

And I even got my own aromatic bouquet to decorate my kitchen counter;) hahahahhaha...

And after some blissfully difficult power yoga (seriously, yoga + wind chimes = a piece of heaven), we both had dueling GREEN MONSTERS for lunch!  It had been WAY too long since I had one of these, and it tasted FABULOUS! :) 

And for dinner, we managed to sneak in even MOREEEEEEEE vegetables.  A LOT more! :)  What started out as this:

Turned into THIS:

I followed Kristin's recipe and made a Grilled Vegetable Salad:)  Onto the grill went:

• Zucchini slices
• 2 ears of corn
• Sliced Red Onion
• Halved Red Pepper

We diced those up, mixed them in a bowl with some diced cucumber & (toaster oven roasted) tomatoes and served it on a bed of lettuce with some balsamic glaze  (1 cup of vinegar reduced to a 'syrup thickness').

I don't know if it was the delicious grill kissed vegetables, the fresh (non-bread or meat) taste, or the sound of the rusteling leaves while we ate that made this salad sooo AWESOME! 

I even said to Scott "As good as those cheesesteaks were, this tastes JUST as good right now" :) hahahahhahahah....and he even agreed!! :)  We capped off our gorgeous weather night with a walk in the park with Penny and some "Jersey Shore" :)  A pretty perfect night as far as I'm concerned:)

And Sunday started out pretty delicious as well:)  Since Scott's birthday is THURSDAY, I thought I'd start off the celebration with a breakfast that I knew he'd enjoy:  Cappuccino Chocolate Chip Muffins...

WITH Chocoalte Chip Espresso Spread!  Yummmmmmmm!

For lunch, I broke into my stash of pretzels (I've been LOVING PRETZELS lately!) and had them with my very, very favorite brand of hummes:  Cedar's Original Tahini.  Mmmmmmmmm....LOVE IT!:)

And I also had one of my MONSTER peaches that I bought at the market:)  I took one bite and it was pure bliss:)  And these babies only get better the loooonger they sit...if they last that long!  There's nothing quite like a ripe summer peach! :)

Anddddd...our steak ban actually ended here since we had them for dinner at my in-laws house:)  That, along with a cake that almost set on fire from the candles made for a very interesting evening:) hahahahahahahhaa....annnnnnnd I have a feeling there shall be MORE cake in the near future...sooo, good thing we got in all those veggies when we did;)  hahahhahaahhaha....

Have a great Monday everyone:)
