Last night, Two nights ago, our friends Levi and Alexis came over for dinner. We decided to cookout because it was so nice out (60 and sunny!)! After school and a meeting I dragged Brady on a 3 mile walk with me. We walked quickly and chatted about what else we needed to do before Baby H gets here. While walking, we could smell the delicious smells of grills cooking – YaY for spring and summer!
When Levi asked what they could bring for dinner, I went out on a limb and said salad. Levi is the most meat and potatoes guy I know, so I wasn’t sure how it was going to be. He is a good cook though, so I had confidence he would bring something that tasted good – and if nothing else – he would bring a bowl of lettuce and I would still be happy.
When they arrived, Alexis said that he was freaking out that I asked him to bring the salad because it’s not really his thing. He didn’t know what to make and was nervous because I always put “fruit and shit” (his words, not mine) in the salad. She told him to get on his iPhone and find a recipe.
I am now obsessed with Levi’s salad! I will post he recipe, but let me tell you – it was AMAZING! I tend to stick to the same things, so I am not sure I would have made this but it is going to be my new summer go-to salad!
Wait until you see the recipe – it is not just an ordinary spinach salad!
I made a burger accessory platter.
I carmelized some onions on the grill ( for a little too long apparently) by chopping them up and coating with olive oil cooking spray and a Cajun seasoning my brother gave us for Christmas.
We also had grill potatoes with Cajun seasoning.
And I invented a lentil veggie burger – this tasted good but the presentation was not good. I was the only one who ate it so it didn’t matter. I think I need more liquidy things or flour or something.
The regular burgers.
Since Wednesday when they came over things have been super busy! We had a baby class last night from 6-9 and had to pack because we are headed to Cleveland and Chautauqua tonight after work! I should have some fun pictures from my shower and other fun weekend festivities! What are you doing this weekend?
