Hey guys! I hope your weekend was wonderful! I didn’t want mine to end. I got to see Josh after a super busy week of travel. I missed him a lot. Then I got to spend lots of girl time with Lily which was such a blast. I snapped random shots of the weekend on my phone. I somehow have not charged my camera battery in like three weeks so it would not turn on this weekend. Lily and I decided to win lots of brownie points and make our men a meal on Saturday night. The high quality food photosΒ are courtesy of Lily and her awesome camera.
Veggie chili and cornbread? Yes, please.
With a Trader Joes salad in a bag on the side. Those things are so convenient.
Our delicious creation. I was so stuffed afterwards.
Starting this fall Lily will be a Professor at Stony Brook. To celebrate her getting the job we opened Samuel Adam’s Stony Brook Red. Well, everyone else did. I’m not a beer fan so I toasted Lily with a glass of wine. Josh and I are so proud of her, her students are going to be very lucky to have her.
Lily and I made a trip to Altoona for her to pick up her bridesmaid dress. I love how it is so flattering on every single bridesmaid. I’m tempted to buy one for myself after the wedding! ;p
On our drive home Lily introduced me to the amazing-ness that is Kind bars. This one tasted like a macaroon. Yum!
Our shopping travels took us to Ulta for some fake eyelashes (I need to start practicing for my wedding) and to TJMaxx just because. We were there for hours and did not leave with one clothing item. On my way out the door I did spot these super cute headphones though. I’m in need of new ones and these were only $5!
After Pilates we treated ourselves to lentil soup and toast. It was so delicious, especially after the workout Pilates always gives me.
I feel like this post should be titled Food with Lily. She made yet another amazing meal for us for breakfast the other day. Eggs, onions, spinach, and avocado over toast with Greek yogurt, pear, blueberries, and blueberry flax on the side. It was so delicious and definitely inspired me to step it up in the kitchen when I’m cooking for myself at home.
Another weekend has come and gone. I hope this week flies, my bridal shower in Connecticut is this weekend!

Debbie @ Live from La Quinta says
Sounds like a fun weekend. I love veggie chile! And cornbread! Yum. I feel like my weekend was spent either running or recovering from my runs. Though I did make it to a jewelry party, which was fun.
