T.G.I.F and hopefully NOT raining!

Thank you so much for all of your sweet comments about my sister and my debbie downer day! I am feeling much better today, and I am hoping there are blue skies coming my way! We don't have many plans this weekend, but I do get to go to a bridal shower for a sorority sister tomorrow, and I'm super excited! I can't wait to see everyone!
Last night, Brad and I made dinner again - we made Grilled Chicken with Lime and Avocado Salsa, and it was amazing! Brad and I are both big fans of avocados, so this was right up our alley! It was super easy and super healthy! Yay for being healthy!


Here is the recipe for those of you interested:

Ingredients
4 Chicken cutlets
3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 large avocados, halved, pitted, peeled, and chopped
1 large tomato, chopped
1 medium red onion, cut into thin strips - I don't like raw onions, so I omitted them!
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and sliced
3 Tbsp. lime juice
1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves
Lime wedges
Instructions1. Preheat grill pan over high heat. Coat chicken with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Add to grill pan; cook 2 to 3 minutes each side or until no pink remains. 2. Meanwhile, in large bowl combine avocados, tomato, onion, jalapeño, lime juice, and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season to tast wth salt and pepper. Serve with chicken. Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges.

Brad made a little piece of chicken for Turner - here is a picture of him waiting patiently until we tell him "GO GET IT!" He will not eat it until he gets those 3 precious little words! Isn't he a cutie???

Okay, so who else saw New Kids on the Block this morning on the TODAY show???? I am SO SO SO excited about them getting back together. Y'all seriously have no idea - I can remember wearing a acid-washed jean jacket in KINDERGARTEN that was full of NKOTB buttons! I cried my eyes out when my mom wouldn't let me go to their concert that was at Murphy Center, and I for sure had a NKOTB sleeping bag and a Joey barbie doll! I just can't wait to get with my best friend from kindergarten, Diane, and squeal about this! Read HERE for more information.

I hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!

  5. Awww! You puppy is too cute. I used to put food on my Cubby's nose and she would wait so patiently for her "OK".

    I saw NKOTB this morning! They were my first concert. My parents gave my sister and me tickets for Christmas one year. How fun!
