Summer Weekends in Florida

How was everyone's weekend?

I had all intentions of having a low-key and I accomplished that for the most part. On Friday night, a friend who was in town visiting came over bearing steaks for dinner so we grilled out and had fun catching up.

Saturday was beautiful and the perfect day to hit the beach. It was also friend's birthday so a group of us met out at Cocoa Beach to soak up some sun and celebrate the birthday girl.

Of course shots were had at Coconuts beach bar for H's birthday.



After the beach a few of us headed to Rusty's Seafood restaurant at Port Canaveral for some dinner. We had a nice view of the ocean by the cruise ship port and saw some dolphins swimming by.


On Sunday, K and I cooked up some eggs benedict for brunch, caught up on a few shows, and then went out to get some shopping done for our upcoming trip to Vegas. Our wedding anniversary is tomorrow but we're going to wait until Vegas to celebrate so we wanted to get a few outfits for the trip.


The rest of the day was spent blogging, food prepping, laundry and just relaxing before the arrival of Monday.

If you like Indian food, I recommend Trader Joe's Masala Simmer Sauce (cooked with chicken breast chunks, chopped onions and green peppers) and TJ's Garlic Naan to make a quick and easy dinner.
