Gran Torino, Green Tea, and Grilling

Good day! (ha, i just accidentally reminded myself of Paul Harvey)

How was your weekend?? Ours was good (I think weekends are always good!)

Sunday afternoon Erik and I went and saw Gran Torino at our two dollar movie theater and we thought it was really good. I would definitely recommend it!

Then we came home and to start dinner. We bought a simple charcoal grill this weekend because we didn't have a grill and this nice weather we've been having has made us really want to grill!! We kept it simple with grilled chicken and grilled veggies. So, I got the veggies together and chopped and seasoned them and the chicken and on the grill they went.

While it was cooking, I drank some of this: Stash's iced blueberry green tea powder. I saw it the other day at our grocery store, Hyvee and thought it would make drinking cold tea a lot easier while at work. I put in one packet of Truvia and it was really good!

(Speaking of Hyvee, I was excited today to see them carrying Buitoni's pasta now ... hooray!! I didn't expect to see any in my town and after sampling some this is definitely something my husband and I will purchase from time to time).

While waiting for our food, we snapped a few pictures and they mostly all turned out blurry but here's a few anyways ... Next up ... my husband tending to the grill: And the final product: Veggies consisted of all the veggies I had in my fridge, as we were running bare! Cherry tomatoes, Brussels, broccoli, and assorted colors of sweet peppers.Mid-way through grilling, the tornado sirens started going off. Though it didn't look like it was going to tornado at all, we decided to bring the dogs in and eat downstairs while watching a movie. Here's Rocky wanting some food: Tonight, we grilled a big salmon fillet and more veggies (pictures to come later ; )

Until then, have a great week and I hope you're enjoying nice weather!! (It's rainy here).
