Monday Morning Coffee Talk


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!

  2. Sweet 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!!

  13. Those 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!

  14. I'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

  15. 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!

  17. Why isn't the Super Bowl on a Saturday? It makes staying out and watching the game so hard. That dip sounds amazing though!
