Monday is here again and I’m loving that the temperature seems to be rising around here. There’s something uplifting about that!

We were fortunate to spend time with Marc’s family this weekend. They came down from Rhode Island Saturday morning and it seems like the weekend flew by from that point on. I had made some delicious meatballs & meatloaf for lunch so we had sandwiches & salads before Marc, his brother and his dad headed to New York to the Barclay’s Center to watch some college basketball.

They were clearly rooting for URI.

URI ended up losing that day so they were out of the tournament, but Marc had fun spending time with his family.

I got to spend the day with my mother in law which was fun. We did some shopping with Ava and I was so pumped that I actually stumbled on a pair of Asics Gel sneakers that are SOOO comfortable.

They weren’t that cheap but they fit my feet perfectly and that’s what you want in a sneaker right?

I also bought Ava some cute spring clothes and a giant book that she wouldn’t put down in the store.

She loves to read and I’m all for it

The evening was spent hanging out at our house and chatting/relaxing. It was quite nice to have a girls night!

Sunday I slept a little later since we were up a little past my normal bed time, I had a little coffee and then we had some breakfast. Shortly after I headed over a family friends house to do some cooking.

I learned a secret recipe for Sweet Potato soup. This recipe is out of this world delicious.. I mean I can’t get enough of it!!

I’m not quite sure if I’m allowed to share the recipe. This recipe came from a dear family friend who is a Chef at Fairways At The Griff in Greenwich. I feel honored that he taught me how to make it.

I’m pretty sure this Velvety Sweet Potato Soup recipe will become a staple meal in our house and I’m super pumped to have it in my fridge right now!

Now I am off to teach some Group Power… I am not gonna lie I need a cup of coffee to get going today

What did you do this weekend?

Do you have any recipes that you won’t share??
