Thanks for all the Love!!!

This weekend was the May Long weekend here in Alberta which means sun and camping at the lake... or if your me the Kitchen all to myself for 3 whole days! But before I get into my goings on of the last week I want to thank everyone for reading and following me every week. I just reached 1000 page hits over the weekend from over 10 countries! So thank you for stopping by every week and living a little bit of my life with me.

I had a very very very busy week last week. Mostly because I was on the road trying to get all my out of the office work done before I tool my extra long 5 day long weekend and a very earned break away from the country. Because I was away from the office my diet consisted mostly of Starbucks Passion Iced Tea Lemonade and Sushi

It's a little crazy how much of this I ate this last week working in the nearby "cities"

But spending the week on the road was worth it though when my view was this:

We did have a terrible cold snap about mid week though

But it was in the high 20's the next morning so we can pretend that day never happened. So with such a busy week I was headed to Red Deer in no time and finally had a chance to relax and get a little spoiled.

I love the gym in the building! No excuses here :)

But where I really seemed to enjoy myself this weekend was in the kitchen where summer recipes were on the menu with lots of vino to complement the creations! Pintrest and a bestie married to an Italian (and very willing to share the family secrets) have been huge in extending my kitchen repertoire! Here are just a few of my creations!
