Much Needed Day Off

I took today off from work to spend time with my family and ended up sleeping until 10:15AM! Insane. I almost never sleep that late on the weekends, but I guess I needed it! I lied out on my deck drinking my coffee and then I came in to make breakfast. I ended up making a sunnyside egg with wheat toast and avocado dip.


Then I went running. It was pretty hot and I decided half way through my normal route to stop in at my moms house and surprise my grandparents. Then we all decided to head back to my house to watch last nights So You Think You Can Dance. My nana loves that show! While we watched, I ate an Arnold Sandwich Roll filled with Cheddar Cheese and Avocado.

And a fruit salad:


Then I ran some errands and when I got home I made a Panzanella and White Wine Sangria! I am enjoying a glass now while I wait for Dave to get home! We are heading to my mothers for a BBQ to celebrate Mikey and Natalia! There wedding is tomorrow! Can't wait!

1/4 Cup of Spinach

Mix together in a bowl with and serve! Not sure when we will eat this, but I saw a recipe similar and it looked like fun. Maybe tomorrow for lunch?
