What a weekend:)!

This past weekend was one to remember.  First of all, we are celebrating 17 months of our relationship. (Awwwwww) <3. So, to celebrate...we did what any awesome Wisconsin sports fan would do, and attended a Brewers game.  The seats were great, and it was nothing short of amazing having my hunnie by my side.

Since we live a healthy lifestyle, we didn't have the typical beer and brats at the game.  We opted for a healthier choice, and went to a local Irish Pub for dinner.  I had a salad to start, and a marinated chicken breast and mixed vegetables for my main course.  Ryan had a cheeseburger that looked DELICIOUS!! I bet it tasted delicious too:)!

The Brewers won...no surprise there! ;) It was a perfect ending to the perfect evening.

Second part of the fun-filled weekend was my sister's baby shower.  This was a day that was long awaited for!  In the middle is my lovely sister Jamie. She is due in seven weeks, and her son's name is going to be Blake.  I am super excited to be an auntie!!

 Here is a picture of the three of us sisters.  

Jamie and David:)

Ryan and I at the baby shower!! :)

 The baby shower was a success!! We all had such a great time! I'm very glad that we could share the joy together at the shower.  It's not typical to have boys there, so that was a treat! :)

We ended the evening with our fantastic chicken and shrimp shish kabob's.  Read about the recipe in the next blog post!!

Have you been to a baby shower that had both males and females present?

Sunday Dinner

For some, Sunday dinner is just dinner. Eat, clean up and find a good TV show to watch and relax. But, for us, we use it as an opportunity to cook up meals that are more involved since we don't have much time on week nights.

This Sunday, despite the chilly temps outdoors, we couldn't resist firing up the grill for some good ol' shish kabobs. We're pros at eating them, but, we've never prepped and cooked them ourselves. While there are countless ways to stack your skewers, we chose the following:

Chicken
Shrimp
Green Pepper
Tomato
Onion
Zucchini

We marinated all of it using low fat italian dressing. Not to toot our own horn, but for some shish kabob rooks, we did a pretty good job!

We'd love to hear, how do you season and marinate your meats and veggies? Which types of foods do you stack your skewers with?
