BFF in the District!

What a weekend! After an amazing Friday, my best friend Alyson came to visit and apartment hunt because she's MOVING TO DC in two weeks!!! I am beyond excited!

We had some fantastic food

Gazpacho


Summer salad (lettuce and grilled tomatoes, mangoes, peaches, and a vinaigrette dressing)


White bean salad (beans, roasted peppers, tomatoes, olives, garlic, EVOO)

Went out for amazing drinks

Champagne sangria from The Gibson



Me + Alyson

Posing with the Manfriend


And ran a gorgeous 5-miler around the Potomac

Chain bridge - Arlington, VA


View from Arlington looking at Lincoln Monument


View on bridge heading back to DC


After dropping Alyson at the airport and driving home I was exhausted. For some reason, when I'm beat at night I tend to crave breakfast foods. So an egg dinner it was!


Toasted bagel thin, egg whites, laughing cow cheese and a delicious peach from our road trip


OK, I'm off! Have a great week!

Questions:

What's your go-to meal when you're exhausted?

Do you like cold soups? What are some favorites?

  2. That's so exciting that your bestie is moving to DC!! My go to meal is probably cereal or a peanut butter sandwich. I'm always in the mood for either of those!

  6. I'm not much of a cold soups girl, but there's nothing like a good breakfast for dinner! Other meals I like when I'm exhausted are massive salads with whatever quick protein I have on hand (usually tuna, or baked chicken breast if there happens to be any in the fridge), or stir fried veggies (again, whatever ones happen to be lying around!)

    PS. I responded to your comment on my blog with the link for my spectacular sandwich grilling machine!

  7. I like vichyssoise. (yep, used the spell checker on that one! LOL) It's chicken broth based, I think. Your food looked fantastic! So fresh!! :)

    Champagne and sangria sound like an amazing, deadly combination.
