Scenes From Saturday {3/16}

By Courtney 18 Comments

Breakfast date with my bestie, Heather.

IMG_1634

A return back to Illium Café, but a new-to-us breakfast menu.

IMG_1625

An amazing chai tea latte to start the morning.

IMG_1627

Followed by an amazing breakfast of french toast for Heather, scrambled eggs and a whipped banana pancake for me.

IMG_1628

A trip to the Farmers Market (the first one since July).

IMG_1636

With plenty of fresh bread abound.

IMG_1635

Snacks throughout the day (almond and peanut butter are back in my life – thank goodness that was short-lived).

IMG_1637

A Mexican dinner had with great friends.

IMG_1640

IMG_1643

Including a taco salad made by Yours Truly, which I will have to share with you all very soon because it was amazing.

IMG_1641

And enchiladas which I have already bought the ingredients for to make later this week.

IMG_1642

A birthday cake for Andrea, who celebrated her birthday last week.

IMG_1645

Plus brownies made by Mal, both of which were out of this worrrrrld.

IMG_1647

Mooners would certainly agree.

IMG_1650

And we all got a great big laugh out of “having” to have some milk to wash down all of the decadent chocolate desserts.

IMG_1649

The laugh, of course, was that everyone said it was such a “good thing” that the milk was fat-free and organic…you know, because we were all trying to be so health conscious with all that dessert and all. Hey, we found it amusing. Winking smile

Hope you all had a great Saturday yourselves!

    Ohhhh YUM! Those cakes look really good! I totally do the whole "well, I'm drinking a lot of water today so that cancels out the brownie I just ate" thing. It makes sense ;)

    I'm really looking forward to the farmer's market reopening here again too! I love strolling around there on Saturday mornings picking up produce for the week. I'm always excited for that salad recipe--we are all about Mexican food at our house.

    It sounds like you had a fabulous Saturday filled with good people and good eats! It doesn't get much better than that! I can't wait to see the taco salad recipe. It sounds and looks super delicious. I am sure that pairing it alongside those enchiladas was perfect!
