Another weekend behind us :-(

The family reunion/beach weekend was a success and dare I say, far too short!?!  I am an anxious new mother (Lil T turns 8 months this week!  Can I still say I'm a new mom?  Fine...person), so it takes me a while to reach that easy, comfortable, go with the flow point.  Yes, T and the in-laws were around to help, but this is me we're talking about.  In the past I would either be in close proximity to the cooler at such gatherings drowning away the nerves or washing away it all away with a post event cocktail.  Sunday morning margaritas anyone?

As predicted, the weekend menu was a little unhealthy:  boils, burgers, hot dogs, chips, cheetos, sugar wafers, craisins, BBQ, cole slaw, beans, potato salad, pasta salad, white bread, ham, chicken, chocolate turtles, pretzels, vegan gumbo, cakes, cake balls, and cupcakes.  Can you believe I didn't have ice cream?  I planned to have a cone at Dairy Queen since my little sister was in town.  She adores DQ.  The bro and her hit up Ben and Jerry's instead one evening after I left the hotel.  So, some of those items are healthy and no, I did not try everything.  In an effort to counteract but not shock the system, the menu planned for this week is as follows:

Hummus Sandwiches with Carrots and Celery
Pesto Tuna Pasta Salad
**Radish Challenge!**Black Bean, Corn and Radish Salad and Garlic Bread
Chicken and veggies (either Buffalo or Honey Mustard...I can't decide)
Turkey Sausage Pasta with Onions and Peppers
Tofu Fried Rice with Broccoli and Peas

Last week's meals were a hit...

Lemony Salmon Pasta

Coconut Cashew Tofu
