When we first met, we had both just gotten out of some bad relationships.

I from a bad marriage and even worse divorce.

He from a bad relationship almost just has toxic as my marriage.

We both said we would never get married.

We have been in a very happy and healthy relationship since then.

We were not convinced marriage would make things better for us and we might have been scared that marriage may make things worse. 

Why change something that is working so well?

Well last December, we ran off like silly birds to the local court house and got married.

I know…..kinda crazy!

And fun

And romantic.

So this summer, Bill’s parents are throwing us a reception at their home in Reno, Nevada.

Yesterday we got our fun invites:

We can’t wait!

It should be a lot of fun

So to celebrate our fun I thought I would throw in a giveaway!

But first last nights dinner:

Is it weird that I love avocado on pasta?

So this giveaway today is for these Turtle Mountain So Delicious coupons:

If you would like to win these today just tell me a bit about your “love story.”  I would love to hear about it I will announce the winner tomorrow morning!

Happy Thursday!

This week is flying by……..

Tonight is Nutrition Club

I baked it in the oven at 350 for about an hour.  The house smelled heavenly.

When it was finished and resting.  I chopped up eggplant, zucchini, peppers, mushrooms and added cherry tomatoes, and sunflower seeds to a roasting dish.

Sprayed them with olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper.

This is my new favorite kitchen device:

I broiled all of it for about 20 minutes.

Mixed the broiled veggies with cut up kabocha squash and brown rice, flax seed, avocado and eggplant hummus:

It was delicious along side this glass of vino:

Tonight I think we will have some pasta.

I am off to pack for the weekend!

Bill and I are headed out-of-town to visit his parents.  His Dad is doing much better but we thought it would be fun to pay them a visit.

Do you have any fun plans for the weekend yet?
