Morning, all! Hope you guys had a fun one. I'm trying to run off to the gym a little earlier this fine morning, so here's a quick recap of the weekend...
...with a fabulous delight known as the GARLIC BOMB!
...a cheesesteak topped with garlic spread and DEEP FRIED ROASTED GARLIC!
"DIED AND GONE TO HEAVEN" is the only way to describe this garlic-lovers fantasy come trueJ
Oh yeah...and there were also a little number known as FARM FRIES...
...which were fries topped with pork gravy, provolone and BACON! Oh yes! The more gravy, the BETTER on these babies!
Then it was time to walk off ALL that goodness by spending the rest of the day at the Philadelphia ZooJ
...which was an obvious HITJ
And then we tried to reel it ALL back in, with an early morning stock up at the farmer's market for the week ahead (complete with THIS adorableness...)
...power yoga + a GREEN SMOOTHIE BOWL (which I WILL admit, was not as appealing as their pretty pink counterpartsJ Green Smoothies in a GLASS from here on outJ)....
..and some GREEK NACHOS for a "light bite" dinner...
Baked pita chips...or, since it's all we had on hand, 100 calorie multi-grain sandwich thinsJ...sliced & baked at 350 for about 10 minutes...
...a layer of crumbled turkey breast seasoned with diced onions, oregano & Greek seasoning...
...and assorted coooool toppings...
...oh yeah, and a layer of creamy & tangy tzatziki sauce which I whipped up in the food processor within minutes:
- 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 shredded cucumber
- 1 clove of garlic
- couple handfuls of feta
- juice from 1/2 lemon
- salt & pepper to taste
Nice & light, but BURSTING with flavor...I have a feeling these will be seeing their way to our plates a lot this summer, especially with the cool bites of cucumber & bright green onion...
And Sunday followed up with a 'sample party' of doughnuts from Beiler's...because, even though Reading Terminal Market is FILLED with a gaggle of exquisite goodies, I JUST CAN'T HELP making a stop at my FAVORITE doughnut stand every time I'm there...
Maple bacon, vanilla cream and a blueberry fritter joined the party. Those pieces were actually even smaller than they look in that picture, I SWEARJ
...because, TRUST ME, someone wanted to make sure they got their fair shareJ She's just like Mommy & my Grandmom: we LOVE ourselves some doughnutsJ
...and the rest of Sunday was spent walking in honor of my Uncle at the annual NJ Kidney walk...
...and celebrating my friend's ADORABLE 2 year oldJ (How CUTE is this cake & cupcake stand that she made???)
So yep, that wraps it upJ. And since I loved that pilates class so much from last week, now I'm off to try to get there THIS morning. Especially since the last few weeks I've been getting up earlier to get my workouts in...which Katie must have caught wind of and is NOW getting up at the SAME. TIME! Sighhhhh...hopefully it's just a phare OR I'll have to start getting up even EARLIER to get in some "ME/EXERCISE" timeJ Such is lifeJ Not complaining...just laughing at the ironyJ
Hope you guys have a great Monday!
