Happy Saturday everyone! Is there anything better than a Saturday? It's by far my favorite day of the week- no work, and no work tomorrow to think about!
Eric and I are at the Cape and it's a gorgeous day. Can you tell I'm in a good mood? That's about to come crashing down though since we (Eric, my parents and I) have an 11 am meeting with the coordinator at our ceremony and reception place. I know I joke about wedding planning being a pain in the butt, but there are times that I truly do not enjoy it. To me it's just another thing to fight with people about, and personally I enjoy harmony. Oh and also, I wouldn't call myself a detail person. I know we are going to have a great wedding whether there is mouth wash in the bathroom basket, or small green flowers in the centerpieces. Just me though.
Last night we went to one of our favorite restaurants for dinner- Roadhouse Cafe in Hyannis. They were celebrating some anniversary so bottles of wine were 28% off (maybe their 28 year anniversary, haha?). We order a bottle of Petite Syrah.
I am usually not a red wine fan, but I enjoyed this wine, and the antioxidants it was providing me :) Since we got there a few minutes before six, we got the early bird special which means $3 off our entrees and a complimentary house salad. I don't do salad, but my appetizer was the bread, SO good...
My mom and I decided to split the Scrod. I am so glad we decided to split because they gave us our own plates that had perfect sized portions. We even got our own small baked potato! How nice is that?
The whole thing was delicious. When I got home I decided to make banana "ice cream" using a frozen banana. I literally just stuck a frozen banana in the blender and then added a few chocolate chips. I got the idea from Chocolate Covered Katie, but I wish I could take credit for it.
This was probably 150 calories and satisfied my dessert craving. I have to remember to get some bananas this weekend and freeze them for more of this. Next time I may try putting in some peanut butter or almond butter. Or maybe blending the chocolate chips into the banana. The possibilities are endless...
Okay guys, what is everyone up to this weekend? What do people do when they don't have wedding stuff to think about constantly? I forget :) I kid! I do have a normal life still I swear. After our meeting Eric and I may go ice skating and we have a reservation at a delicious Japanese restaurant tonight. Yum.

yay enjoy your lovely day in the cape, beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteYour dessert looks fabby! I used to freeze bananas and just eat them. I read it somewhere in a magazine that it was good because then it took longer to eat it so it would feel more satisfying. I need to get a converter so I can work my blender and Magic Bullet again! Glad you are enjoying the Cape!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, what a GREAT idea for a dessert. I will be trying that next time!
ReplyDeleteHope wedding planning isn't toooo painful for you this weekend! Have a good one, love :) XO
I know how you feel about the whole wedding planning - I am only just starting out but already the details - wow!!
ReplyDeleteI too love saturday - hope you have a great weekend Kelly :)
Looks like a great meal out!
ReplyDeleteOk so I figured I'd share my workout that I just did with you (since you always share yours with us). Well, first off let me tell you how I ended up with this random video. I am on a quest to try out all of the workout videos and dvds that my library system has to offer (which is a lot because they pull from 20 different libraries). The video (yes VHS) I got today was called CherFitness (yes, that Cher). I wasn't expecting too much from it, but it ended up being a really good workout. It has three 25-30 minute segments in it that you could do all at once or do them individually. The first was a cardio step workout (which ended up being pointless for me because I don't have step). The second was a really hard ab workout which was followed by the third, a killer lower body workout. Now the video is from 1991 (like I said, trying them all, lol), but if you can find it at your library (you might have to interlibrary loan it from another library) it is a really intense workout!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm sad that I ate my last banana on Thursday and I don't live on a coast to have yummy seafood all the time.
ReplyDeleteLove the cape! Always a good time :-)
ReplyDeleteOh ugh, just thinking about planning a wedding makes me stressed!
ReplyDeleteHave fun ice skating and eating Japanese food! And of course, enjoy the Cape, I wish I was there.
That dessert sounds so delish! I might have to try it sometime! I hope you have a great weekend and don't get TOO stressed out from all the wedding planning. (I'm totally with you on everything you said, too!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun night!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen people aren't busy planning their wedding, they're busy writing a paper. Well, that's me anyways lol!!! You'll see, the big day will be here faster than you can imagine!
I think it's great that you are keeping the importance of the wedding in perspective. In the grand scheme of things, it's all about you & Eric. I am sure it will be a grand event, though!
ReplyDeleteThat dinner looks scrumptious and I love the idea of frozen banana icecream! Yum! I need to get a blender so I can make that!
hope the meeting goes well tomorrow. I know nothing about it...besides what I watch on Brizellas hehehe. The food at the restaurant looks amazing. I can see what its one of your favorite restaurants! Send me leftovers?
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteI hope the meeting with the coordinator goes well. Whaere is your ceremony going to be? I'm sure you've already blogged about it, I just have to read back a ways. We got married at the Popponessett in Mashpee. So beautiful!
