THINGS I’M LOVING THIS WEEK……..

Siggi’s Yogurt I am currently on a yogurt kick this week and I can’t get enough of it. Siggi’s is packed with protein, and I love knowing that I’m eating a clean snack.

All things bacon.. I would definitely say Bacon is one of my HUGE cravings this pregnancy. I literally would eat it every day if I thought that was healthy butttt I think in moderation its okay so I’ve limited it to a few times a week. Ava is on the bacon train too, the girl wants all the bacon like her mama.

(I actually thought I had more bacon pics but it doesn’t surprise me that I don’t. We eat it way to fast to take pictures)

Whole Foods Gift Card winner I won a giveaway on The Posh Body’s blog and I was super excited to go shopping for free last week. I bought my favorite hummus, some healthy snacks and dinner, it was awesome.

Brussel Sprouts salad from Harvest Marc and I went to Harvest for dinner on New Years Eve and I can’t stop thinking about this brussel sprouts salad that I’ve decided to make it myself. It’s too good to be true that I feel like a few simple ingredients might work. I’ll let you know how it comes out.

CHILI… On sunday Marc made a big chili so we could eat while watching the Patriots game. Ava loved the chili but also the fact that she could eat in front of the TV.

On Wednesday she asked me for Chili for lunch. Of course I said “sure!!” and heated her up a bowl. This girl is TOO smart for her own good and started pushing her high chair towards the living room.

I know the chili was amazing, but smarty pants thought whenever she ate chili she got to eat in the living room watching football. She CRACKS me up.

Veggies Burgers growing up my mom always had some sort of veggie burger in the freezer. They were a great meal to have on hand when I didn’t know what to eat. Over the years I have tried several different brands and i’ve finally found the best Veggie burger from Costco.

It has real ingredients, it tastes great, and I can’t get enough!!

RX BARS is where its at. I have been snacking on these like crazy. My favorite one lately is the Coconut Chocolate, but Ava has been loving the Blueberry.

As you can see they one have clean REAL ingredients, what’s not to love??

Last but not least I needed to throw this picture of Ava in here.

She’s getting better at Cheesing for the camera, but she also loves to sing and that’s what she was doing before this picture. I’m not a singer, but she will sing for like 30 minutes straight and it’s pretty darn cute. I love the words she comes up with!!

HAPPY FRIDAYY.

What’s one of your favorite things from the week?

I loved spending quality time with my family and celebrating the amazing Dad’s in my life!

Saturday night, Marc and I went out for a lovely dinner just the two of us. We both love our time with Ava but it was nice to just focus on each other for a bit. We chose to get dinner at Harvest on Greenwich Ave and were both so happy with our decision. Instead of getting entrees we shared a bunch of starters.

First up was the Brussel Sprout Salad which was hands down my favorite. If you like brussel sprouts then you need to try it. I will be going back for this salad again soon.

The Grilled Calamari came out next. I wasn’t sure if I would like it when we ordered it, but to my surprise it was quite tasty. I loved the guacamole sauce it came with.

(the picture looks a little messy, because we dove in before I remembered to take a pic!!)

We also got meatballs and broccoli rabe! Whenever brocolli rabe is on the menu I almost always order it. SO GOOD!

It was a great dinner!

On Sunday we headed to the Griff Golf Course as a family to hit golf balls at the driving range.

Marc’s First Swings of the season

My older and younger brother taking some cuts

and my dad’s turn!

It was a lot of fun watching them all take some swings. Afterwards we grabbed lunch at Fairways At The Griff Restaurant. I didn’t take a picture but I had a delicious Portobello Plus salad for lunch. Lots of veggies, yum!!

Ava had fun with her daddy this weekend, he sure knows how to make her smile.

As you can see we had some good eats and lots of family fun! Happy Monday
