The Weekender

One of my favorite things about being back to blogging is linking up with some of my favorite blogger, including Biana from B from Boston. Every Monday she hosts a linkup that recaps the weekend, what a great idea! I try to participate as much as possible, but this is my first one since I've been back!

Friday for lunch I got together with a friend to celebrate his birthday. We both love Noodlecat, so that was our restaurant pick. 

For Happy Hour on Friday, my bestie and I got together at one of our favorite local taco places, Barrio. As you can tell, I like to keep it local as much as possible. We love going here for happy hour to get some margaritas, chips and salsa and of course tacos! Everything is made to your liking, you get to pick everything that's on your taco. Check out their menu here. Oh and these bowls are DELICIOUS! Again you can put whatever you want in the bowl to make it the way you like it. I added in braised beef, grilled portobello mushrooms, cilantro-lime rice, chihuahua cheese, lettuce, cilantro and onion, red cabbage all topped with corn salsa with peppers and cilantro pesto. I have one word to describe this, amazing.

I had Taco Bell (sober) for the first time ever after B's first football game of the season. We were driving to My Guy's mom's house for the rest of the weekend and B wanted a taco so we all got tacos. It was actually kinda good, am I crazy for thinking that?!

The rest of the day on Saturday we hung out with one of My Guy's childhood friends and his family. They have two cute boys the same age as B, so they play together. It was a nice and relaxing Saturday and Saturday afternoon. My Guy's mom made her family recipe spaghetti for dinner. It was absolutely delicious! We added in some Italian sausage to the sauce, it was really good. I wish she would give me the recipe, maybe one day. I would love to keep the tradition going.

My Guy and I went to visit some friends after dinner. And there was nothing better than enjoying a cold glass of champagne in the rain! We were under an umbrella so we didn't get wet and we just caught up with friends.

The rest of Saturday was spent with B coloring. Have you ever heard of Adult Coloring books? We have become obsessed with them! They are so much fun to do. So B and I colored for hours on Saturday night. It was really nice.

Sunday was spent with my parents having lunch. And then My Guy and I went home to color. Yes, we are that obsessed with it. Wine, colored pencils and good conversation is how we ended our weekend!

How was your weekend?

Do you like local restaurants better than chain restaurants? 

Does your family have secret family recipes?

Have you ever heard of adult coloring books?
