Happenings Lately-March

Hey, I'm still here! Here's some of what I was up to last month.

We're loving our new hometown and daily walks to the beach.

I thought this was a suspicious grouping of shells and I left them alone.

I have been obsessed with finding sea glass. This was a particularly good day for it!

We went to a local St. Patrick's Day Parade and had great seats right on the parade route. Green beer was a must!

I tried Andrea via Julie's 3 Ingredient Egg Bake. I used more egg whites in mine because I didn't have enough eggs. It still turned out well, it just needed longer to cook. It doesn't look pretty but it was tasty!

We saw another bald eagle on one of our walks!!

We celebrated a soon to be mom in our family at a sweet baby shower.

The girls were home for less than 24 hours for the shower but we managed a quick Easter with them. It was fun to make baskets for them and all of the kitties.

We took them out for coffee and to the beach for a nice morning walk.

We had brunch with them before driving them back to NYC.

We got to look at an apartment with City Girl #2 (she got it!) while we were there and I tried this Turkish salep drink made from orchid-based flour. Very interesting!

{Shopping} Spring Trader Joe's Haul

 A little Spring TJ's haul...

We grabbed a fresh basil plant for the kitchen.   It smells so good!

Some of our staples: Turkey burgers for Mr. Click and High Protein Organic Super Firm Tofu for me. We use the Beef-less Ground in a lot of recipes.

Have you ever seen the "Reserve" wines from Trader Joe's?  The highest quality (best opportunity buys) are the Diamond Reserve wines but the Platinum Reserve is one step down and still an amazing wine and deal! We always grab them if we are lucky enough to see them.  

The Organic Toasted Coconut Granola is new to me and so good!

I love the TJ's candles.  Grapefruit is one of my favorites.

I got the City Girlies some Easter basket treats since they were going to be home for Easter.

Produce staples that I love and I'm still obsessed with both of the dressings.

I think these are all new to me. I'm pretty sure I haven't had the Vegetable Masala Burgers before.  They are a nice change from the other veggie burgers.

I haven't tried the  Peruvian Chimichurri Rice with Vegetables yet but I've heard good things and can't wait to try it.

The Chocolate Cheesecake Bites are the perfect size for a little sweet treat. I don't even wait for them to defrost. I like them extra cold!

What have been finding at TJ's lately?

{Travel} Birthday Weekend in NYC

We got to celebrate City Girl #1's birthday in NYC a few weeks ago. 

We stayed at an old favorite, The Conrad Midtown.  I love the vibe of the hotel and the spacious rooms.

I was feeling very stripe-y in the entryway mirror.

As you can see by my hair in the above shot it was raining that day. LOTS of rain. We made our way over to meet the girls at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

We were there mostly for the Women Dressing Women Exhibit.

It was a very cool exhibit full of female designers' creations.

I didn't know a lot of them but City Girl did.

In our favorite part of the museum.

We toured around some more, soaking up all of the art.

It really is a beautiful museum and a perfect place to spend a rainy afternoon in NYC.

City Girls 1 & 2.

We had reservations at Scarpetta for dinner.   It's great for celebrating a special occasion.

The birthday girl and our yummy desserts.   After dinner we headed back to the hotel --our bellies full and our feet tired!

Waking up with some fancy coffee in the room

Another selfie before we went out for a walk.

There was sunshine!!  Our hotel was near Times Square and we walked around a bit. It's not so crazy in the morning.

We checked out of our hotel and did a little more exploring...

...before meeting up for brunch at Village Taverna with the girls.  It was close to campus and CG 1 was studying so it was a good place to meet her.

I got the vegetable moussaka...it was so good! After brunch we went to Penn Station and took the train home. Another fun birthday weekend on the books!
