Friday night was a perfect evening with the boyfriend. We did a “Disney Themed Movie Night!” If you’ve never done it, I strongly encourage it! We had a great time with some Greek gyro’s and our movie of choice: Hercules! We had this great idea a few months ago and haven’t been able to do it often, but we plan on pairing food and movies like Chinese food with Mulan, Italian food with Lady and the Tramp.. and getting creative, we could do Pizza and Toy Story (Pizza Planet!).
It was a relaxing evening, good food, and good movie! Perfect date night, and it’s inexpensive, so if you’re on a budget, I strongly suggest it!
Saturday was spent working on this blog and working on some work for the job. I was recently asked to do my first product review, so I worked with that on Saturday as well and I’m so excited to show y’all what I’ve come up with and share the opportunity to give it away! Post will be coming in a week or so! Saturday morning was so relaxing, I caught up on some blog posts from you lovely people, enjoyed a pot of coffee using one of my Christmas holiday packets I got in my stocking this year, and I added some whipped cream and cinnamon, perfection!
Saturday Night, the boyfriend and I attempted a bloomin’ onion and boy was that thing good! You can find the recipe {here}! It turned out so great y’all! It had a wonderful spicy kick to it, the sauce tasted just like it does at a restaurant.
We tried using this device that nick had in his cabinet that was suppose to slice it into a blooming onion, but it didn’t work out so well, so we ended up with 2 separate parts of the bloomin’ onion! It’s ok though, we went along with it.
I wasn’t patient enough to get a good pick of it finished with the sauce, but it was amazing! Nick really loved it and I’m pretty sure we’re going to make it again, but we may try a “skinny” recipe so it’s not so unhealthy.
We also made our famous avocado salsa! We got the recipe from {here} and it’s become a favorite that we make frequently! We also eat it with blue corn chips, it’s just amazing that way! Seriously you must try it! We make it for friends and then they become obsessed. We always joke about inviting them over when we make it, but then realize that we probably wouldn’t get any, so we don’t! Yeah, we’re selfish that way!
Sunday was pretty much a lazy day, I got some good house cleaning done and I did a little more blogging. I also purchased my Erin Condren planner! YAY! I wasn’t planning on getting one, but I seriously need it… My life feels so chaotic at the moment, I can’t wait to have my goals and to-do lists. I’d love to use more for the blog to help that grow as well.
Hope y’all had a great weekend like I did. This was a MUCH needed recharge. This past week was just plain crummy, so the weekend helped out a lot and I’m ready to hit the ground running tomorrow, hopefully with a good workout!
I love the Disney themed movie idea!! Would it be wrong to have sushi & watch Finding Nemo?
Cute idea on the food themed movie night. May have to try that.
As for the blooming onion, a long time ago they created a device that would cut the onion perfectly and if you followed the long instructions you’d supposedly have a great onion. Needless to say my onion never ever turned out like a restaurant one so I gave up and sold the device at a garage sale. So I’m curious as to how you got yours all delish!
that onion looks so good! & ill have to try that disney themed movie night.. that sounds like a great idea!
