Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue

Our family's twist on the old wedding saying:

Something OLD:
We have fallen in love with "America, the story of US" on the History channel. If you haven't seen it, check it out!

Something NEW:
L and I decided to try our hand at Latin rythms and went to a ZUMBA class this morning. This was entirely out of my comfort zone and my body was sure not going to move (or look) the way the instructor moved but I giggled the entire time. SO much fun! No, I'm not telling anyone where or what time we went because I certainly don't want anyone I know to see me trying to shake my fanny. (you're welcome)

Something BORROWED:
Once again, my favorite recipes are from someone else. L told me this recipe as we were running one morning and I craved it all day. I made it for breakfast, ate it for lunch, and dinner and had a bit of stomach troubles. I DO not recommend eating it for three straight meals. However, if you just eat it for one meal in a 24 hour period, you'll be fine.

Quinoa Corn salad

Quiona Cooked (add as much or as little as you like. I like a lot)
Roasted Corn (canned works fine too)
Grape tomatoes, halved
Fresh avocado cut into small bites
Black beans
Cilantro
A little red onion

Mix together and add cilantro dressing. L has used different things like vinegarettes and ranch and they work well too. ENJOY!!!
(Sorry, the picture below isn't the corn salad but is a black bean salad with quinoa. For those who don't know what quinoa is, see picture below.)


Something BLUE:

I found SMEEKS through http://www.nieniedialogues.blogspot.com/ and had to make a stop. We went and thoroughly enjoyed all the candy and novelty gifts. Particularly enjoyed looking at the wall of photos from the in store photo booth.

Note: none of these photos are mine. All are photos found online.
