Hello, my friends! We had such a nice weekend. It started with some gray skies and rain and ended up being totally gorgeous early-fall weather. The break from the heat and humidity of July was nice!
On Friday night we had a nice dinner at home with capresé salad from our garden (home-grown tomatoes and basil) and mini burgers on the grill.
I went past Great Harvest and picked up Spinach Feta rolls to use as buns. And we used Mini Babybel for the perfect little cheese topper to our sliders!
MY OTHER RECIPES
Thomas and I watched the movie Split that night. I liked it a lot up until the ending!
Saturday morning, Mazen was up early, which was a good thing because I needed to be up for 8am ath con. I had coffee and toast and went to the gym for Bradley’s class. I really do love going to ath con on Saturday mornings!
Back home, I had a Juice Laundry Strawberry Chia Pudding for second breakfast.
Saturday morning vibes:
Mazen spent the afternoon with Matt, and T and I went out running errands. First stop was Zoe’s Kitchen for a quick lunch. I love their salmon kebobs!
Late afternoon I intentionally relaxed in the hammock for a bit. I dozed off too. It was a glorious way to spend a Saturday afternoon!
We met some friends for drinks at The Local that evening, right when the clouds parted and the sunshine came back out.
And then we had an awesome date night at Mas! Thomas’s sister in law works there, and we always get the royal treatment. Favorite bite of the night was those stuffed squash blossoms on the top left. And the homemade rye bread!!
We brought some of the bread home and had it for Sunday breakfast.
Sunday activities — TBA next post!
Home-grown tomatoes are SO good! We made a caprese salad with the addition of peaches and bacon recently…it was delicious 🙂
Fresh salads grown at home! I wish I had that luxury, sounds so good!

Those caprese salads look amazing! Our tomatoes are juuuuuust starting to ripen (we’re in NJ). Jersey peaches are now in season, and I want to try grilling some. LOVE all the fresh summer produce!
Caprese with homegrown tomatoes and basil! YUM! I was visiting my parents and they sent me back with a bunch of broccoli, green beans, and turnips from their garden but they haven’t had any tomatoes yet!
