The weekend was a good one. The Orioles were in town so we mixed in a little relaxing with a lot of baseball fun.

My very first banana bread! [say whaaaaattttt?!] Awesome recipe from Ambitious Kitchen.

A new favorite snack –> brown rice cake + white cheddar Laughing Cow wedge +
balsamic jelly + salami.

Rally glasses since I didn’t have a hat.. and how I felt by the end of that game.
Had nothing to do with the beer…..

What fun things did you do over the weekend?
I’ve never tasted salami & jelly as a pair before.. but i’ll take your word that it’s delicious đŸ™‚
Fun things from the weekend: Well we ended up with a different bed set then the one we were originally going to purchase from IKEA. Along with a whole new bed set (bed, wardrome close, 2 end tables, mirror & dresser), we got a new tv & fridge for the new place. Can’t wait for it to all be delivered & installed in 8 days đŸ™‚
I’ve been here in St. Petersburg, FL on a trip for work getting to study wild dolphins. Florida is HOT, especially when out on a boat for 4-5 hours at time. Regardless it’s been an amazing experience and I’ve learned tons!

Swanson is definitely the company of the day hehe đŸ™‚ Happy birthday! I would love to try the plant protein, that would really help my body recover from my high mileage!
