I Walk In This World

Healthy eats, often with a side of snark

Flower

Not a nine, but a ten

Hi kids.

GIVEAWAY Reminder.

Well.  Today was rockstar.  I thought it was going to again today, and since it was sunny and warm with blue skies, I am on cloud ten (because ten is better than nine).

My sister is here!

She’s my BFF times infinity. 

Now.  

We totally hated each other as kids.  To-Ta-LllYY.  Ask Dad.  He’ll tell you.  But we’re besties now.

Did everyone see Hillary’s flower?

!Ole!

Din was Pizza Friday.  Whole wheat Boboli crusts, 1 regular veggie and 1 pesto.  I gotta give a shout out to my Weight Watchers girls, esp Chels, who helped me decide what to do with the pesto pizza.  Her suggestion was Out of this World.

Veggie pizza = pizza sauce + pecorino romano cheese + peppers + onion + mushrooms

Pesto pizza = pesto + goat cheese + sundried maters + spinach

Oh my gaaaaadddd.  The pesto pizza was unreal.  A total classic.  Plus some salad to balance it out.

Dinner on the porch.

And beer.  A Magic Hat HIPA, which is one of the best IPAs out there.  Totes.

This is a tough weekend for me and the sister, what with Mother’s Day and all.  So.  I plan to drink A Lot.  Y’all just have to bear with me.

I was at a forestry ecology conference all day, and have no pics from it, nor pics of lunch.  There wasn’t time.  It was a good day tho.  I’ll leave it at that. 


Breks was hurried (b/c I suck at getting out of bed on time) but great.  1 red berry waffle + blueberries + coconut + lite syrup AND 2 Applegate Farms chicken & apple sausage.  Ugh.  Those sausge are beyond good.  Srsly.  Try them.

Tomorrow, I have no idea what I’m doing.  Too many options and I have to decide.  Good thing I’ve got a buzz on, should help me really winnow things down.

What are y’all up to this weekend?

    Have fun with your sister!

    I’m not sure what I’ll be doing, but hubby might be working most of the weekend, so I might be doing whatever alone. ;)

    Great post!

    Hillary looks beautiful! The flower is a lovely accessory.

    Pesto pizza sounds great.. what a great use for pesto!

    I like the photo of you guys in the kitchen. You look very upbeat and happy.

    I hope you have fun with your sister. I don’t have any siblings but I think it would be fun to have at least one.

    Weekend is pretty boring (aka study) but I’ll be doing something fun with mum tomorrow to show her I love her. Haven’t quite worked out the details yet.

    Er, I think I was subliminally inspired by you for dinner tonight: we made pesto pizza with homemade pesto, onions, mushrooms and chicken sausage we got at our local farmer’s market :)
