When I went to make lunch today I wanted a salad but realized that I wasn’t excited about any of the salad dressings in my fridge so I made my own.

It tasted just like the creamy Italian dressings that you order in restaurants. I love how simple making your own dressing is!

Last night I took the kids to Pei Wei for dinner. I ordered the kid’s size honey shrimp on brown rice with veggies.

I loved waking up this morning with no where to be and nothing that had to be done. What a luxury! Breakfast was pineapple Chobani, Cranberry Pecan Granola, strawberries and blueberries.

I did end up “doing stuff” today: bills, email, laundry, etc. Lunch was Greek Quinoa Salad with chopped chicken and a salad with the delicious Creamy Italian Dressing.

Tonight we have a “couples mixer” in our neighborhood. Everyone brings a hearty appetizer and a bottle of wine to share. It’s always a good time!
