Happy weekend!
I had to share a photo of our anniversary dinner last Monday. My typical restaurant order is salmon, usually with vegetables on the side. But I had a craving for some ooey-gooey cheesy pasta, and this dish delivered—pesto, burrata cheese, tomatoes, mushrooms, and pasta topped with grilled chicken. Scrumptious! Hubby had a small plate of short rib egg rolls.
Protein is important, but do we all need to eat more? It’s a hot topic these days. As I was typing this sentence, I saw an ad for a sandwich shop and their “high-protein options.” I do a half scoop of protein powder in my morning oatmeal. I exercise in the morning, including strength training, and I want to ensure I’m eating a filling breakfast. But as the article says, if we are eating enough, we are likely meeting our protein needs.
I love a good rom-com. The cast of Materialists and this review sound promising!
I started watching The Better Sister on Prime before I discovered it was based on a best-selling book. The ebook is available through my local library on Hoopla. So first the book, then the series. So far, I am loving the book, and the series looks good too.

The baby animal sightings continue at our local park. These geese and their goslings were resting near the walking path. We made sure to give them a wide berth so as not to freak out the parents. We saw more rabbits than we could count on the back path, both adults and tiny baby bunnies. So cute!
Have a great weekend.
