Hi! I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. Today I want to share some weekend photos with you and then announce the winners of my most recent giveaway.
Saturday night we had our holiday staff party for Y2 Yoga. I spent half the day at the mall making returns and checking out the after holiday sales. Of course the dress that I fell in love with was one of the only things not on sale at the mall that day but it was too good to pass up. You can never go wrong with a little black dress. I know I’ll get a ton of use out of it!
The party was so much fun. I love these people so much and they feel like my extended family here in Charlotte. The night ended with a pizza stop so that’s always a sign of a good time. 😉
I had to teach early on Sunday morning and then picked up food from Fern for lunch. I was craving their homemade veggie burger. I got it in a kale wrap topped with goat cheese and sauteed local veggies on the side. So good!
I spent the rest of Sunday cleaning the house and hanging out with this cute furry one. We went on a walk and then I ran three and a half miles.
I started dinner prep late, around 8 p.m. I roasted potatoes with herbs and garlic and brussles sprouts with olive oil, sea salt and lemon pepper.
And cooked steak in a cast iron skillet and then made a rosemary marsala mushroom sauce to go with it. Sunday dinner treat!
The rest of my night included snuggling with Sullie by the fire (wearing my new J. Crew camp socks…so comfy) and watching Star Trek: Into the Darkness (which I slept through the last 30 minutes of). It was a really nice weekend.
Now…giveaway winners! Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who voted for my Chicken Marsala Macaroni and Cheese recipe in the Colombo Wines Marsala Recipe Challenge. I am really excited to share that my recipe was selected as a top three finalist but I didn’t win the trip to Italy. I was thrilled to even make it to the top (based on not just votes but the actual recipe) because I spent a lot of time on the idea and testing. I’m glad it was well received. So thanks for your support and here are the winning commenters (randomly selected).
1. Purple Violet Love Headband

3. Homemade Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars
