Weekending

This weekend was somewhat of a whirlwind, but it was amazing.
Let's back track a little.  Thursday night, I cooked a Blue Apron vegetarian meal of spaetzle.  I had to use celeriac in the meal and I was so intimidated at first.  However, I loved the meal and love the fact that Blue Apron has gotten me to branch out of my cooking comfort zone.


Friday, I got to see Joey and Kristina for a food truck rodeo.  It was so nice to have some girl time.

Saturday morning, I got to indulge in Sugar Handmade Gourmet Donuts.  I had the maple bacon and DG had the chocolate glazed, and omg.  I don't even really love donuts, but I mean, these were amazing.


DG's team had a pretty big soccer game, so I was excited to go support, but also to try out some settings on my camera I haven't had a chance to explore.  Verdict?  I need more practice.


We got back on Saturday afternoon and spent some time with some of our friends over dinner.  I set about 3 alarms to wake up for the Lilly for Target event, and slept through both.  When I woke up at 7:00, everything was gone online.  And my local Target only received 4 racks, so when the line was all the way around the building, I decided to go home and wave my white flag.  And to eye this dress:

  2. We have something here called truckaroo which sounds like your food truck rodeo. So much fun and good eats!!
    I've never even heard of celeriac haha (and my autocorrect didn't change it, so obviously it's a real thing). I would have been intimidated too, but happy to be getting out of the cooking comfort zone as well! :)
    Hope your Monday's off to a good start!!

  7. I didn't even attempt the Lilly for Target... it seemed like a lost cause! Now I will just sadly read everyone's blog posts about all of their Target goodies :(

  9. I couldn't agree more about that coffee. But same! I was so bummed about Lilly! I went to bed at 2 and it still wasn't live. Got up at 7 and the one thing I wanted was sold out. What can ya do?
