Walks and quality time with the dogs to make up for leaving them alone most of last weekend

A lovely Saturday afternoon bridal shower for the next Doyle to be.

The shower called for hats. I love all occasions that call for hats.

A visit from AJ & Kim on Saturday night, along with a late night visit from mummers

Sunday afternoon shoe shopping in the comfort of Jill's house.
I saw Carol wearing these two weeks ago and am very pleased to make them mine.

Vodka rigatoni Sunday dinner with Jenn & Debbie

Khloe & Lamar. Ice Loves Coco. A lot of both. I couldn't help it.

New recipes, all of which are clickable links - crockpot stuffed chicken (I would finish them in the oven, too dry in the crock), zucchini tots (super easy and they rocked), quinoa buffalo chicken mac & cheese (fabulous) and tortellini spring vegetable bake (excellent, using two chicken breasts, one more carrot and more mushrooms and grape tomatoes)

Quinoa buffalo mac & cheese topped with goat cheese and broiled till the cows come home

the weekend that was

I am beat, people. I was hoping for more relaxation and sleep this weekend, and I didn't get them.

I am going to to be in bed by 9 tonight and asleep by 10. I keep wanting to fall asleep around 8, then I don't, and then at 10:30 I'm still reading a book. Madness.
