A delicious weekend.

Today I decided to make a dish from the Skinny Italian cook book!
Farfalle con piselli! (Butterfly pasta with peas!)

It was delicious! My husband really loved it too! It was so easy to make as well. I'm all about easy quick cooking and this dish is perfect for that!


This weekend was fun and relaxing. However the sweets were a little much :( My husband went a little crazy in the bakery Saturday night and bought soo many yummy pastries. I did not use my 3 bite rule at all!

This afternoon I went by my grandmothers house and brought her a little cake for her 79th Birthday. My grandmother is so sweet, I just love her soo much! She also gave me the recipe for my favorite dish Rice with milk! I can't wait to try it out. My husband is a little unsure about this dish but I assured him, it's yummy!

I'm dreading going to work tomorrow! I just love my weekends! The only fun thing about work is lunch HA! I made my lunch for tomorrow, Chickpea salad! I'll add avocado and balsamic dressing tomorrow morning. mmm mmmm.

Another thing the book Skinny Italian reminded me of, is healthy eating. Eating for nutrition. For a strong healthy body! We do not want brittle bodies that break down easily. So when I went shopping today I made sure to look for those specific items that contain the good stuff! Ha! Avocados, Apples, Bananas, Tomatoes, Asparagus, Garlic, parsley, and my list goes on! I have some yummy meals planned for this week. Can't wait!

Hope you all have a great nutritious week!
