The weekend was a busy one, filled with FOOD, outdoor time, laughter, knitting, chatting, eating, laughing...
B kept us laughing and really was a sweet girl to all... gotta love it when your children behave and make life easier and sweeter. She is more than loving having Mimi around to read more books and take more walks and sneak more treats out of.
As for the food, we made some delicious meals together. I have have have to mention this one in particular:
FIRE ROASTED ARTICHOKES
And while I'm a sucker for artichokes in any style, I usually just steam them and eat them whole. We came across this recipe at this blog and it was TO DIE FOR. Literally. Oooohhhh so good. We grilled some chicken breasts along with it, added a fruit salad and called it a meal. Healthy, delicious, and new. We raved for hours about it afterwards. Ooh, I love artichokes! Try it out before fall sets in...
That's all for now folks... happy new week!

They moved back to Minnesota :(. My dad's new job didn't work out and they moved back in August. We miss them so much, but I'm so thankful my mom can come out to visit us for such a long time! :)
