Lunch (1:00pm)

I was at Mother’s Market doing some marketing, I noticed they were filling the hot bar with lunch items that smelled really good. I picked up one of these Soy and Mozzarella Cheese Tacos to take home and it was as good as they smelled.

My new favorite dinner, that I have been making several nights a week for some time now. Roasted onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, zucchini, some sort of meat, artichoke hummus, tzatziki and avocado.

Dinner (7:30pm)

A birthday party at Slater’s 50/50 for my friend Mickey. We started with a Peanut Butter and Chocolate Shake with four straws (less guilt). 🙂 Next we had the Vampire Dip, made of roasted garlic, artichoke and cheese served in a bread bowl with fried pita chips. The dip was everyone’s favorite by far!!! I had the cheeseburger Salad, which I really liked. We finished with a Brownie Sundae for the birthday girl but we all had some. The brownie had bacon on top, not really my cup of tea but it was interesting to try.

Dessert (6:15pm)

My husband took me to Wildflour Cupcakes to get a treat.  I had a chocolate peanut butter cupcake. We learned a interesting trick from Samar, the helpful girl at the counter, she suggested that we microwave the cupcakes for 20 to 30 seconds. It makes the cupcakes warm and gooey inside. 🙂
