06.27.09 Breakfast, Lunch and Mike & Khanh's Dinner Reception

Hello, fellow foodies! I hope everyone had a wonderful Saturday!!!

Worked a half day at work...from 6am until noon so I could attend my friend Mike and Khanh's wedding at 2pm.

6am - got into work and had a Mrs. May's Blueberry Trio Bar to tide me.

9am - ate a bowl of Envirokidz Organic Peanut Butter Panda Puffs.

11am - 6oz Greek Yogurt with Truvia and Bear Naked Granola.

12:30pm - Whole Wheat Crackers and Gouda.

12:45 pm - more Whole Wheat Crackers and Havarti.

Arrived at the wedding just before 2pm and the ceremony lasted about an hour...everything seemed to go great and they looked very happy!

The reception took place at the Edinburgh Golf Course's Banquet Hall.

Took a walk outside on the terrace and Dave took a few pictures of me. It was a gorgeous day and the flowers and greenery were beautiful out there!


Went back in the hall and Jenny, Bonnie and Sandy were chatting it up.

Here's the lovely white and turquoise tiered wedding cake with orchids:)

The hall was tastefully decorated and tied into the wedding color scheme.

Another shot of the banquet room as guests were starting to arrive.


We found our place markers and were at table 23...me in my seat.

Dave in his seat. Had a great table close to the exit which led to the bar;)

Lovely place setting...silverware, plates and glasses; great ambience!

First appetizer served was Korean Beef Bulgogi.

Next was a Shrimp Shooter with Cocktail Sauce.

Then a Shrimp Shooter with Blue Cheese Sauce.

Berry Bliss Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette and slivered almonds.

Chunk of Cranberry Bread.

I thought it was cute how the butter was served in balls.

Champagne and Water.

Sauteed Breast of Chicken with Artichokes and Shitake Mushrooms in a Lemon Thyme Sauce with Chive Mashed Potatoes and Asparagus.

Cake and a cup of coffee for dessert...I did go back up and get more cake:/

What a spectacular wedding! Congratulations Mike & Khanh!!!

06.21.09 Brunch at Ruby Tuesday and Father's Day treats at home

Father's Day 2009 - we went to church and then headed over to RuTu...


Made myself one of my typical salads with spinach, peppers, cukes, shrooms, chickpeas, feta and about 10 garlic croutons.

Next was a mini-salad and some cottage cheese with sunflower seeds.

Went home for gift opening and had sugar free chocolate pie and ice cream!

Later we snacked on Whole Wheat crackers and a cheese tray.

Cheddar, Swiss, Havarti, and Gouda...my favorite definitely being Gouda!

My portion of cheese...tried a square of each and 4 whole wheat crackers.

Later on I made some Spanakopita and I ate four pieces of it.

Ran over to my mom's at the last minute to help my sis with computer stuff and she dished me up a cup of Blue Bunny NSA Banana Split Ice Cream!
