And my first mug of Fresh Market Spring Blend for 2010. Yuuummmy!

Hubby and I were busy bees in the house this weekend. We did even more house work today before I got ready for a hot date.

Kelsey and I met up in the artsy part of town – NoDa. I love this part of town – the local spots and artsy vibe.

We hit up Revolution Pizza so I could get a bite to eat. I meant to eat at home before heading out to meet Kelsey but I forgot. 😳

We grabbed a spot at the bar.

Since I snacked on some homemade granola bar pieces for heading out, I kept lunch light and just got the artichoke and lemon spread with flatbread.

So stellar. I loved it!

I got a tea latte – India Black Assam with soy milk. It was super foamy and tasty.

So much fun chatting it up with Kelsey ! 😀 We should do this more often!

For dinner, I had plans to make mac and cheese with the fontina hubby and I picked up at TJ’s yesterday.

I’m still trying to work out all the measurements for my Dad’s Mac and Cheese – I want to make sure I’ve got everything measured out so I can share it with you and currently, a lot of stuff is “eye-balled.”

I prepped a lot of kale tonight – 1/2 a bunch for dinner and 1/2 a bunch for later this week.

I prepped the kale for later this while dinner baked away in the oven.

Contest Updates

I’m so terrible about following up on contests. I love having contests and giving away things, but I always forget to follow up!

So here I’ll make some catch-ups…

Congrats to the contest winners! 🙂

  2. Is NoDa the area where Cabo Fish Taco is located? I’ve been there and the Cajun restaurant down the street (can’t remember the name). It’s a really neat area of the city!
