Sunday morning began with my favorite simple breakfast: Great Harvest Cinnamon Raisin Walnut, toasted and topped with Wild Squirrel Sneaky Cinnamon, and a few apple slices.
After a few hours of being lazy and letting my food digest, it was time to get ready for one incredible lunch!
Some friends of ours invited us to join them for lunch today and I had NO idea what a treat I was in for!
The home where we lunched was incredible. Think art museum meets cozy library meets a jet setter's palace meets a culinary school. Got it? :)
I had to limit the amount of art pictures I included in this post. There was an impressive piece around every corner. Loved.
Around 2:00 PM, lunch was on the grill!
Beef kabobs cooked to perfection!
And chicken breast marinated & basted in this chipotle sauce, which I wanted to hook up an IV to after tasting it. A steady stream of pom & mango chipotle sauce can't be THAT bad for the blood stream, right??
My oh so handsome lunch date. Swoon.
His mildly handsome lunch date :)
I took a few swigs of this guy. Not bad. Still not a beer fan.
Time to eat! Asparagus, beef kabob, chicken breast, avocado slice, rice topped with chopped bbq brisket, and rolls.
Contentment.
Then it was time for dessert!
Vanilla cake with a chocolate mouse filling and chocolate fudge icing.
Ummm, yes.
I almost went back for seconds on this bad boy, but then decided against it.
You know when you eat a big lunch and you go from "I MIGHT be hungry for dinner tonight" to "OMG, I SWORE my skirt fit when I left the house this morning" to "Ouch this hurts. I MIGHT be hungry for breakfast tomorrow"?? I was between "...dinner tonight" and "...swore my skirt fit" when I almost went back for cake round 2.
Sooo, no cake was probably a good choice :)
After the lunch of my dreams, it was back to reality. I spent the afternoon doing laundry, cleaning house, and making lunches for this next week. Waah-waah-waahh.
Hunger struck around 8:00 PM, so I fixed a simple bowl of broccoli, sweet potato, and scrambled eggs.
Not sure why I love this combo so much, but I crave it all the time! So weird, and even weirder when I douse it in ketchup. Mmmmmm, keettchhuuuppp.
I hope you had a spectacular weekend! You are loved!
Goodnight!

That house is beautiful! What a great place for lunch on a nice day.
ReplyDeleteI love sweet potatoes, but never thought of this combo. Maybe I'll give it a try this week for lunch.
