A new day

Well here it is, another post about losing weight. It's not a big secret that I gained about 10 pounds since my daughter's first birthday, but today I realized, while stuffing myself into pants that used to fit loosely, that I need to get back on track. I can't remember the last time I've gotten up in the morning, packed up the baby and went for a walk or jog.
So tomorrow, that will change. Exercise and eating better will again become priority.

2 Year's Married!

It's crazy to think it's been two years since we walked down the aisle and said our "I Dos", exchanged rings, danced and celebrated with our family and friends. Happy memories. I can't believe how the time has passed so quickly, on the other hand, some days it feels like it's been longer than just two years. Maybe it's because we've been together for five years.


To celebrate the occasion we opted to stay in, have dinner, take a dip in the spa, and just be together.
To make the night a little more special, I decided to make a very nice dinner. I was in the kitchen for the better part of the day, whipping out what turned out to be the best dinner I've had in a while.
The menu consisted of "Green Mozzarella" - an appitizer made with slices of bread, mozzarella, and pesto. Cheesy Mashed potatoes, asparagus drizzled with EVOO and garlic, balsamic glazed steak, and a blue cheese wedge salad.

We didn't get a chance to enjoy the cheesecake I made, it hadn't set up completely, and I think we were just too full.


I'm proud of my self because I made everything from scratch, using receipes from Emril, Alton brown, a few phone calls to mom for general questions, and my own ideas. It was fantastic.


I don't know that I could do that on a daily basis, maybe something a little less involved, but I'm willing to try.
