Home for the Weekend

Where oh where have I been? That’s what I love about the warmer seasons- there’s so much to do and life seems to pick up and activities take the place of ennui (vocab word of the day).

I made a delicious veggie-filled pasta last week for dinner.

I got to go home and visit my parents for the long weekend.

We went out to dinner at Joe’s Inn on Friday and we ordered a giant Greek salad and pizza to share.

The Greeks know how to make a salad!

Going out to dinner is the best because I almost always have great leftovers the next day!

Being home with my parents is always a lot of fun. I kicked back, relaxed, and enjoyed lots of laughs.

I made my parents dinner on Saturday night.

And dessert was bought at the store.

Ice cream + sprinkles

I played in the kitchen for the majority of Sunday.

Chic pea cookies

Homemade Lara Bars

I also experimented with using prunes instead of dates.

Like a healthy fudge!

I added cocoa powder, honey, and peppermint extract- a healthy take on the Thin Mint!

Did anyone cook or bake anything cool over the weekend?

Have a great day!
