Hey y’all!
Hope you’re having or had a good Thursday. Last night at our small group, we discussed ROMANCE and how to keep it,etc. So, the hubby and I were discussing things that we could add to our life to make sure it doesn’t fade and we decided that we’d like to have a weekly date night and do like happy hour (to keep it budget friendly) and have a glass of wine and some appetizers. So, tonight we met up after work, which was a lot of fun. However, we didn’t really do the Happy Hour thing…we ended up having more of a dinner, which was awesome because haven’t had sushi in a while. But before we get into what we had for our little date night, here are today’s eats.
Breakfast: This morning I wanted another delicious green monster! I love these! I also thought about how much spinach I’m able to incorporate into my diet by eating/drinking these for breakfast! For instance, I had a large handful yesterday morning and then a large spinach salad for lunch…so good for my body. Love it!
