So it’s for real Monday already? This weekend flew by! Mine was incredibly relaxing which I couldn’t have been more excited about. I was thinking, instead of doing a full recap of my weekend, how about I just breakdown some of my favorite moments from the weekend? Yea, I like that idea.
1. Watching an insane amount of New Girl with Dana while cozy in my sweatpants and snacking on some homemade caramel corn. What made it even better was that Dana made it!
2. Meeting up with Katie for lunch at Panera! The excitement of getting together with Katie would have been enough but then you add Panera on top of that?! Man alive I was excited. And believe it or not, I actually branched out and instead of the usual French onion soup, I actually got broccoli cheese soup. It totally hit the spot! I was so happy to be with Katie for a while. Such a treat.
3. Making some delicious food. For breakfast one day I made a two-ingredient pancake topped with peanut butter and real organic maple syrup. Not the prettiest photo I realize, but so tasty!
I also whipped up a batch of gluten-free pasta salad. I can’t remember if I used quinoa noodles or brown rice noodles (I had gotten them from the bulk bin at the co-op) but I do know it was one of the two. In the mix: peas, olives, celery, onions, chicken, mustard, mayo, salt and pepper, and a splash of lemon juice. This stuff was crazy good! 
4. Watching Home Alone while walking on the treadmill in my warm home. Doesn’t that just sound cozy?!
5. Sleeping in and waking up with no alarm clock. And sleeping a lot. And getting an extra hour of sleep.
6. Dinner with my family on Sunday night. I should really say feast and not dinner. My mom and dad went all out with steaks, potatoes, broccoli, salad, and fresh fruit! So good! I think my body was really screaming for some iron from the red meat because it tasted really good to me last night. Our bodies know best after all. It was so nice hanging out with family as always!
As you can see it was an incredibly relaxing weekend. Ahhhhh….
How was your weekend? What were your favorite moments of the weekend?
Sounds like a wonderful weekend! We spent some time with friends and family, which is always such a blast!

Sounds like a perfect weekend to me! I haven’t been to Panera in forever but I want to try their new squash soup. I also looooovvveed sleeping in and enjoying the extra hour yesterday. Oh, so sweet.
Funny, walking on the treadmill and watching Home Alone does sound kind of cozy!
