Happy Friday! March has just flown by! Spring break starts today and we are going to have a busy week touring colleges. Here are five from this week.
1.Lunch date – Saturday my husband and I went on a lunch date to Maria Restaurant in New Rochelle for Hudson Valley Restaurant Week. We’ve been here several times and it’s always delicious! The Pop’s Famous Danollo (cannoli donut) is delicious!
2. Reading – This week I’ve been reading, but haven’t finished Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt. I’ve been enjoying it but haven’t had a lot of time to read this week.
3. Lip Sync Battle – Friday night our high school had a Lip Sync staff vs. students battle. It was a fundraiser for the stage crew. Since my son is a stage-manager-in-training, my friend and I went to the show. It was fun seeing the school staff perform!
4. Cooking – This week’s menu included Roasted Cauliflower Burrito Bowls, 20-minute Sopa de Fideo, 30-Minute Teriyaki Tofu with rice and Roasted Broccoli and homemade pizza.
I made this salad for lunch all week: romaine hearts, avocado, candied walnuts, goat cheese, red onion, cherry tomatoes and canned oranges/mango (when it finally ripened!). I topped it with balsamic dressing before eating and it was so good!
5. Eating – Thursday night my son’s Boy Scout troop held a fundraiser at Panera so we ordered takeout. I haven’t had Panera in forever. Before I became vegetarian, my favorite was the Green Goddess Cobb Salad with Chicken. I find their vegetarian options lacking. I ordered a large Broccoli and Cheddar Mac and Cheese and was disappointed at the small size of it!
6.Watching – My husband and I watched the newest episode of Ted Lasso and Shrinking (both Apple TV). I watched the finale of The Bachelor (Hulu) and was happy that Zach chose Katie over Gabby. So few couples actually make it, but I’m rooting for them.
And I found a new show: The Night Agent (Netflix). This is a suspenseful show that was so good that I ended up watching 3 episodes in one night!
7. Track Meet – My son competed in his first Varsity Track meet. He did the long jump and the triple jump. The jumping area was so far from the bleachers that I wasn’t able to get a decent picture. I was very unprepared for how cold it got!
8. Memes –
ICYMI this week on the blog:
Tuesday I posted April Events in Westchester County.
Sharing with Friday Favorites! Have a great weekend!
The salad looks so delicious with the oranges and mango. I should try this as I am a bit bored with the usual garden salad that I take to work. I like suspenseful TV shows so I will have to give The Night Agent’ a go. Happy spring break!
You are the second person this week that has mentioned The Night Agent– I need to check that out. All your food this week looks SO delicious.
That donut looks incredible! Oh man, now that you’ve mentioned it, my own spring break college visits suddenly feel like they were yesterday! I am very much on board for this extended weekend. How is it already Sunday?! I definitely have not laid around as much as I would have liked and there is still so much to do UGH haha.
