Hello!
Hope everyone had a great weekend. The weather has been beautiful in MO : ) I just finished writing an Examiner article on sodium and now I’m having some relaxing “me” time doing one of my favorite things … blogging!
Here are some highlights of our weekend …
I discovered a new bar (made by Mrs. May’s Naturals) at my grocery store. A Trio bar … very similar to Kind Bar, tastes great, and only 99 cents a bar!! I’ll take that, thank you!
As we often do, on Saturday we went to Kansas City. The weather was so beautiful and we spent some time simply driving around, windows down, while people watching.
Dinner
We decided to eat at Bristol Seafood Grill (pictures are little dark because by the time we got there, well … it was dark, ha).
We ate outside and it was so neat. The weather was absolutely perfect, lighting just right, and wonderful atmosphere. To top it all off, there was an open fire outside and we got to sit right below it (that’s what’s glowing above Erik’s head). It permeated the perfect amount of heat to counteract the small chilly breeze.
We started out with shrimp cocktails which tasted great. I love shrimp cocktail.
I had the king salmon with grilled asparagus and mashed sweet potatoes. Again … YUM! It just doesn’t get much better than grilled asparagus, sweet potatoes and salmon.
Whole Foods Pick-up
Some random things we picked up at Whole Foods (because we can’t go to KC without stopping there;)
Some bars to try …
Puffed cereal. I love this stuff because it’s only around 60 calories for 1 cup, no sugar and no salt. Unlike most other cereals that have a lot of sugar, I can eat a huge bowl full with some fruit, stevia, cinnamon, almond milk and feel great about it ; )
And some hemp seeds.
When we got home we watched a movie and doted on our dogs for a little bit.
What did you do this weekend??

What a nice evening! The food sounds delicious, I LOVE shrimp cocktail too.
ReplyDeleteThe Trio bar looks good, and at 99 cents I would buy that over a Kind Bar any day (umm...2 dollars, no thanks).
This weekend we went to my cousin's house to watch the football game, and we WON! Now I'm working and relaxing a bit. Great weekend fun.
What a perfect weeekend! The restaraunt looks wonderful, such a nice vibe and awesome food- my kind of place! :)
ReplyDeleteSo happy you guys are having great weather too! It's so refreshing to be able to drive with the windows down in November! ;)
I wish my stores had Trio bars! I feel like generally the cheapest bars are also the most unnatural :(
ReplyDeletesounds like a beautiful evening :) enjoy the nice whether while you can!
ReplyDeleteMmmm mashed sweet potatoes :)
ReplyDeleteI'll have to be on the look-out for those cereals...they look amazing!
P.S. Both your dogs are gorgeous, but I am sort of in love with Bubba. I have a soft spot for dogs with a little more meat on their bones. ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice weekend...and you've got lots of yummy snack bars to try :)
