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?
