Weekend Recap!

It's Tuesday!

So I have a laid back weekend recap for you!

It was sunny and warm on Saturday!

Sunglasses were needed!

Friday was our typical wine and Genghis with a movie night!

Ummm...Straw Dogs...don't even bother watching it!!

Of course we drank the wine that came in the mail from our wine club!

Oh Yeah...and can't forget about dessert from our fav dessert boutique!



Red Velvet Cake



Tres Leches



I played a lot with the new camera! And became a little more familiar with it! Think I'm getting the hang of it!

E got a buzz cut so I made him do a little photo shoot to show off his new buzz and his beard hee hee!

Saturday I drove ALL OVER TOWN! I am on the hunt for a HUGE dark brown SHAGGY square rug! I had NO luck finding this rug Saturday. I was super sad. Everyone had the cream/beige color but not dark brown.

Guess I will need to look online. Does anyone have any suggestions of where to find a rug like this WITHOUT PAYING A FORTUNE? It's for the living room...so need much bigger than a 5" x 7".

Then after we watched the Texans play...we headed over to Papasitos for some Mexican food!

Woke up Sunday morning and made these waffles!!

AND we took down all of our Christmas decor!

Chloe was sad all of her the stockings were gone!

But seriously...I need help with the rug situation!!

I haven't looked on Pinterest yet...

I can't tell you how happy I am that it's Friday! one day out of each weekend...Eric and I will have movie and wine night (and sometimes steak if we feel like cooking). TONIGHT is that night and I cant wait to relax and have a nice evening with Eric AND to have a glass of wine lol...I'll just stare at this pic until 6pm haha.

Tonight we are going to watch Limitless...has anyone seen that yet? We actually have joined a wine club...where we receive in the mail...two bottles of wine monthly...i have to say it is some of the best wine ever...and from all over the world. ;-)

I also have a great Turkey Mealoaf Muffin recipe that we LOVE! and yes it has Zucchini it!

Ingredients

• 1 pound 93%-lean ground turkey
• 1 medium zucchini, shredded
• 1 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
• 1/3 cup uncooked whole-wheat couscous
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup barbecue sauce, (optional)

• Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Generously spray a nonstick muffin pan with cooking spray.
  2. Gently mix turkey, zucchini, onion, bell pepper, couscous, egg, Worcestershire, mustard, pepper and salt in a large bowl, preferably with your hands, without overworking. Equally divide the mixture among the muffin cups. Spread barbecue sauce on top of each loaf, if using. (I actually dont normally use this as the muffins are pretty moist)
  3. Bake until the meatloaves are cooked through or an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 165 degrees F, about 25 minutes. Let the loaves stand in the pan for 5 minutes before serving.
