This weekend was great! It was nice to be in Columbus since we had not been in town on the weekend in a while. We started off Friday night by having John and Ashley over for dinner. Later that night we went out and met friends for a while.

Saturday morning Brady and I woke up and ran 13 miles! We didn’t start until after 8 and it took up almost exactly 2 hours. We were tired afterwards and it was super hot so we hit up the pool in the afternoon.

After the pool, we headed to the Crew game(professional soccer)! It was a great game and we had a great time with Jen and Duke and Josh and Jamie!

By Saturday nigh, after the run – pool/sun- soccer game, I was exhausted! I crashed on the couch shortly after my cousin Elizabeth arrived for the night.

Sunday was another busy day because we moved Brady’s sister, Janelle, to college for her sophomore year at Wittenberg! We were excited to get our favorite college subs for lunch!

Then we came home and did some things around the house that we had on the list. I needed to go to the store for some more fruits and veggies so I just threw together some random stuff that was left in the fridge.

It turned out great! It was just what I wanted – a huge plate of veggies.

Veggies with Balsamic Ricotta

  • 1 yellow squash
  • 1 zucchini
  • 3 green onions
  • 1/4 of a bell pepper
  • garlic wine seasoning from Melting Pot – my favorite seasoning in the world!
  • 1/3 c. low fat ricotta cheese
  • 1-2 tablespoons balsamic salad dressing
  • salt and pepper
  1. Cut up veggies and saute in a pan with seasoning (I left some zuc. raw). Cook until tender, but not mushy.
  2. While veggies are cooking, mix dressing and ricotta in a food processor or magic bullet.
  3. Add some of the ricotta to veggies when they are almost done.
  4. Serve the veggies on a bed of lettuce for added volume and add the rest of the ricotta mixture

It was so good, simple, filling and fresh! I ate mine with a piece of sprouted sesame bread!

I spent the rest of the weekend eating veggie sandwiches, seriously.

  • Friday lunch
  • 2 after our run on sat.
  • veggie sub for dinner sat night
  • veggie sub for lunch on sun.
