Hey blog world! It feels SO great to be writing again. For the past few days, life has definitely been the road block between me and blogging. Although I haven’t been the best commenter, I have been reading and doing my best at keeping up with the blog world.
This past weekend, Stephen came to visit. We had plans of celebrating our 3 year anniversary together. We managed to squeeze in a few fun activities, but I don’t know if either of us felt like the anniversary was sufficiently observed. Seems like life got in the way of our celebration as well.
Here are the weekend highlights:
A relaxing Friday afternoon walk in the 75 degree sunshine!
Tying my car key to my shoelaces.
A Saturday evening Mexican dinner with my fam.
Stephen and I at one of our fave restaurants.
Having a repeat meal. I love this veggie burrito!
Stephen and my mom both got this skirt steak plate. It was enjoyed by both.
Sunday, Stephen and I took a trip downtown to check out a local frozen yogurt spot. Stephen and I have been lamenting the lack of frozen yogurt in our area. So when I read about Blueberry Frog on Katie’s blog, I knew a trip was in the works!
I got this delicious frozen yogurt in Plain. My toppings were raspberries, blueberries, and pineapple. YUM. This stuff ranks up there with Edy’s Tart Mango.
Stephen got Blueberry and Pomegranate with blackberries, pineapple, and strawberries. That white block on top is called mochi. It’s a Japanese treat made of rice paste. Stephen really liked it.
A bit of the decor. And by decor I mean a shot of the men and women’s bathrooms.
Chowing down.
Stephen found this picture quite hilarious, so I’m posting it for him.

Giveaway Opportunity!
I was recently contacted by CSN Stores, a company that sells anything from barstools to blenders. They have graciously offered a giveaway to LHP readers.
Want to win a $40 credit to any item(s) sold on www.Cookware.com? Simply visit their website, browse the items, and leave a comment below telling me what you’d purchase if you won.
I think I’d get the Toastmaster Coffee Grinder! Or maybe the George Foreman Grill…



I need to take tips from you and start tying my key to my shoelace!
I would love to have a spiralizer
I love tart frozen yogurt. There is a place called Yoforia that’s walking distance from my house. Yum.
I’d buy a slow cooker.
I’m glad you had a nice weekend with Stephen. I like that picture too, you are really enjoying that yogurt! We just got a new yogurt shop here in Columbus and it’s our first (of the “new age” yogurt shops). I can’t wait to try it!
I would take a slow cooker, for sure! I have always wanted one but never had the room. Now that we are moving, it would be perfect.
Thanks for the great opportunity!
I am always so jealous of everyone enjoying frozen yogurt. There is nowhere close to where I live that sells soft serve frozen yogurt.
I would get a french press or a nice, new tea pot. Great coffee or great tea, hard choices!
I love Edys Tart Yogurt. I was looking for it the other day & wasnt able to find it. I wonder if its seasonal?
As far as some free goodies Im always in the market for more serve-wear (like plates, bowls, ya know!).
Have a great Wednesday!
Oooh looks like you had a good weekend – sun and Fro Yo! Very jealous
happy 3 year anniversary!
glad you finally got a froyo treat! I was wondering why you were missing in the blog world…but life before blogs lady! no shame!
Happy three year anniversary!! yay! Time goes by so fast! If I won the credit on the website, I would definately get some Le Creuset cookware.
I really want a food processor so I can give my blender a bit of a break!
Congrats on your three year anniversary!
And what a great give-a-way! I would most definitely, hands down pick a waffle maker!!!
Congrats on the anniversary. Looks like some good celebration.
And I would probably go for a new sautee pan if I won the giveaway. We need a better one!
I think I would get the Zevro Smart Space Triple Wall Mount Dispenser
oh i was wondering where you were! glad you are okay…..funny i got contacted too about the cookware
i thin i may pick the waffle maker!
Glad you had such a nice weekend. 75 is the perfect temperature
Great giveaway! I would definitely get the Hamilton Beach crockpot. I’ve never owned or used a crockpot before!
Grrrr…I wish we had a frozen yogurt place like that here!!! Maybe some day.
Great giveaway! lol, I might just go for the Bodum french press that I just did a giveaway for on my blog!
Happy anniversary!! That yogurt looks great!
I would get a mini food processor! I want to make my own hummus!
Wow, this site is great. I have bookmarked cookware.com. They sell everything!! I really would love to get the Cuisinart Smart Stick Hand Blender in Brushed Stainless.
What a great giveaway! I think I would want the Tribest CitriStar Citrus Juicer!!
Oh gosh, I’ve been craving ice cream for the past THREE DAYS, and this post certainly didn’t help! Except for the fact that now my craving has been switched to frozen yogurt, haha. Those blackberries look fake!
I LOVE froyo!
I would get the Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus Food Processor! That way I could make homemade hummus in a food processor instead of my blender
I’d get the Bodum Shin Bistro 3 Cup French Press Coffeemaker !
I would definitely get a food processor. I’ve wanted one forever, and I always see recipes that I like that call for a food processor. Let the cooking begin!
I would get the Hamilton Beach Stay or Go 6 Quart Slow Cooker in Stainless Steel – 33162
I’m so glad that it’s fro yo season again!
It’s also a great time of year for fresh fruit juice, so I’d love to get a new Breville juicer.
i love soft serve froyo, so delish!!!
If I won the giveaway I’d get a mini food processor!
I WISH I had a fro-yo place where I live! So jealous! Yummy foods for the day girl
If I won the giveaway I’d absolutely get a slow cooker…I can’t believe I still don’t have one!!
So jealous of the fro-yo! I need to find a place like this up in Boston. I see it all the time on others’ blogs!
I want to use the gift card for a pizza oven and serveware on Cookware.com!!!!
I would get some good storage containers to make my meals mobile or maybe a small blender? I don’t have one in my kitchen!!!

I would get a single cup coffee maker. I used one recently and I love all the options you can buy for a single cup!
