Family Dinner
18 Sep
Today was spent like most other Sundays. First up was church, then grocery-list making/coupon clipping, a little bit of laundry, Target & the grocery store, more laundry, lots of grading (how am I behind already?!), & finally, around 5:00PM, I headed up to my parent’s house for dinner.
Chris was practicing with his band this evening, & my sister was up visiting at my parents, so it made sense that I joined in on the fun (& free food!).
When I first arrived, we decided to do some pug glamour shots! I swear he actually likes this. 
He’s exposing himself; rude.
He looks thrilled, doesn’t he?!
On the menu tonight – grilled steak (more red meat!), baked potato, asparagus, & a dinner roll.
I was only able to eat about half of the steak, & I brought the rest home for Chris.
Someone wanted in on the action!
Dessert was delish… Tastefully Simple’s Nana’s Apple Cake.
I plopped a spoonful of Nutella on mine (Duh! Just be happy I didn’t put some on top of my steak!) & heated it in the microwave for 15 seconds before adding a side of vanilla ice cream.
Now, I’m back at home enjoying what’s left of the weekend. I’m hoping to get a little time to read tonight; I’m currently reading Sarah’s Key, but I haven’t had a chance to pick it up in forever!
Do you have any Sunday-night “rituals”? I always try to convince Chris that I need a back massage to “get ready for the week”.
Have you ever tried anything from Tastefully Simple? I have some beer bread in my cabinet that’s about to get used up!
PS – If you get an error message when leaving a comment, I promise, it’s still posting! I’m not exactly sure what the error message is all about, but I’ll work on finding a solution this week! Comment away! I love hearing what you have to say!
That looks like a great Sunday! -The husband and I watch football, I cook, and then we watch Desperate Housewives!!!! (last season
boooo!)
My husband’s watching football as I type. Gotta start asking for my massage!
I’ll be excited to hear how that beer bread turns out!
I’ve been holding on to the mix for a while now!
Pshhh, no error message is going to stop me from commenting
YOUR PUG IS ADORABLE. He definitely gives Popcorn a run for his money!
My Sunday night usually consists of something low key and relaxing. Oh, and onvincing Will to give me a massage is an EVERY night ritual for me
Haha! I try that too but I’d I have the most luck on Sunday!
My Sunday night consists of getting the kids to bed as fast as I can so I can enjoy what little quite time I have before the weekends over. Tastefully simple is great and perfect for people like me, lol. Love the bacon bacon dip
. Hey you could whip up that beer bread and I will make the dip and we could have a party 
.
Sounds good to me!!
How CUTE is your dog! Ah! Gosh, I miss having a dog.
I love that you are obsessed with Nutella! I share your love.
I am all about traditions. Our Sunday tradition is to spend time with our “little brother.” It is a GREAT way to end the week. We also used to do BFD (Breakfast For Dinner) and I think it is time to bring it back!
I contemplated replenishing my Nutella supply at the grocery store this week but realized that was something better left on the shelf so I don’t continue to eat it by the spoonful!
LOVE BFD! I need to make BFD stat!
