Summer Lovin’

Well hello, blog world, and HAPPY SUMMER!  Long time no see …

I love summer!  I just haven’t been spending much time in front of my computer lately.  Erik and I have been busy with work, the vending machines, Erik’s grad school (I become chief paper editor and proofreader ; ) etc, etc. 

Pictures have been piling up on my camera so here is a small taste of what we’ve been up to!

KC Juice … always love it!Vending machines (some random just purchased products in the back of my car)  I’m a fan of those Veggie Snacks! Product testing … it’s a hard job, but someone’s gotta do it! ; )

I’d never had Izze drinks and I decided to try Sparkling Clementine.  Didn’t love it, didn’t hate it. I liked it.  I don’t drink much of anything that’s “sparkling”, ha, so that’s probably why I didn’t really have an opinion.5 layer dip.
Recipe taken from the most recent Clean Eating Magazine.  This dip is amazing!!!  We’ve made it about three times now and it does not last long. I highly recommend it paired with Food Should Taste Good’s multigrain chips. Loving our furry friends. 
Adrian’s so cute, and she knows it!  Trust me, she uses it fully to her advantage to bribe and get attention.
And, of course, the big guy Bubba.  Almost 15 years old and still goin’ strong! And finally, the most notable thing we’ve does as of late is go to a Mumford and Sons concert for an early wedding anniversary “getaway”.

I tried to rock my best Mumford and Sons look, ha, though I’m not sure why this is a Mumford and Sons look? It just felt right, I guess ; )   It was a really good concert and we were about a foot from the stage … and the speakers, ha.  My ears hurt afterwards!  Though I think my ears are wimpy.  Oh well! Either way, great concert!

Stay Fresh.
Before dinner, we hit up one of our favorite restaurants, Blue Bird. I ordered the stuffed tomato.  It hit the spot … the tomato was so warm and juicy … went perfectly with the quinoa inside … mmm! While having dinner, just about everyone in the restaurant went outside because there was a double rainbow … so of course we followed suit!
I have a lot more pictures on my camera so more posts to come! : )

What’s your favorite thing about summer??
