The weekend started off with a little happy hour at a spot close to home and then dinner at Outback on Friday night.
I had the bacon bourbon salmon which was pretty tasty.
Saturday morning was a lazy one at home before venturing out to stock up on groceries and figured we'd check out the brand new Walmart Supercenter in our area. Adulting 101 at it's finest! Seriously though it was a huge controversy when they started building this Walmart because "it would attract the wrong crowd to our new community" among other things.
Turns out this is probably the fanciest Walmart in the country with portable scanners you can use and the pay via an app on your phone so you don't have to wait in line. There is also a drive-up window to pick up groceries and an organic restaurant called Grown opening this month. I was quite impressed.
For dinner on Saturday night, K made Buffalo Chicken Sliders inspired by one of those Tasty videos you see floating around Facebook. They were amazing!
Here's the video
On Sunday I met up with some friends for lunch. We chose a Trinidadian restaurant I've been wanting to take them to for over a year now. It was a fun little catch up lunch date indulging in some of my favorite West Indian food. No pictures were taken.
In the afternoon our neighbors hosted a Super Bowl party so we made our "famous" Bite Me Dip and went over there to watch the game.
I didn't stay for the whole game because "Sunday school night" but we had some fun hanging out for a bit to cap off the weekend!

I typically hate walmart with a passion but WOMAN THAT WALMART SOUNDS DREAMY! There are words I never thought I'd say :)
ReplyDeleteSweet weekend for sure and you look so cute at the neighbors. I'm with ya, just can't do past 10 on a Sunday especially. Why isn't the SB on Saturdays, from a marketing standpoint, wouldn't it make more sense, lol!!! Happy week ahead gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI've never actually heard of someone making something from the tasty videos but those look delicious!! I'm glad to hear you had a fun weekend - that sounds like a very fancy walmart :) xo, Biana -BlovedBoston

The Walmart near where my parents live is a pretty nice one too, but a restaurant is super fancy! I ate sooo much buffalo chicken dip yesterday, but those sliders still look amazing!
ReplyDeleteLove that you guys made something from one of the Tasty videos! They look delicious! I always get so drawn in watching those videos - everything does in fact look so tasty!
ReplyDeleteThat's like the fanciest Walmart ever.
ReplyDeleteAnother Tasty video win! Fabulous.
I usually am not a fan of Wal Mart, but I would love to check out a fancy one like that! I a,ways love those tasty videos and never make anything, need to try one! Looks like a fab weekend!
ReplyDeleteDang that's a nice looking walmart. I wish they would get their act together and open one of those by me!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that walmart is FANCY! Gotta love all the controversy!
ReplyDeleteThose sliders look amazing, and that salmon looks super good too! We also had a similar Walmart controversy in the city I grew up in, and the Walmart they built was so fancy!
ReplyDeleteI'm a major Walmart hater, so I can't imagine fancy and Walmart being in the same sentence. Hopefully this location will stay nice and fancy long past being sparkly and new. And how delish does all that food look from this weekend - YUM! I hear ya on it being a "school night". I've been on team move the super bowl to Saturday for years :-P

Those sliders look amazing!! Normally I avoid Walmart at all costs because I rage for days after a trip there, but I'm thinking if I had one like yours it might be more tolerable! Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteWow a fancy Walmart, that does sound incredibly fancy! I'm with Kate on being against Walmart in general, but this one sounds awesome! Yum to all that food, glad you had a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhy isn't the Super Bowl on a Saturday? It makes staying out and watching the game so hard. That dip sounds amazing though!
ReplyDeleteGirl. Same conversations happen here around Walmart.... but that IS way fancier than the one they put in near us, lol!!
