You know a weekend was fun when you wake up on Monday morning feeling like you need to sleep for 53 hours. (That’s also the sign of a good vacation!) It’s the classic weekend hangover and it often lingers well into Tuesday. My solution is to relive random phone photos, creep other people’s weekend on Facebook, and make plans for next weekend. It’s sometimes the only way that Monday can be tolerated.
1. Dairy-free gelato. Chocolate Alphabet & Casa del Gelato in Oakville, is becoming a problem. And by problem, I’m referring to the mountain of cute bowls and spoons that I insist on hoarding and washing for future photography purposes. Don’t ask.
ps- lemon for the win!
2. Mums that last for 3 weeks (what the….?), repurposed in a couple jars.
3. Beautiful roses from my niece and nephew. xo
4. Seeing dogs so disgustingly perfect, I had to snap a pic immediately. Cannot handle the cuteness!
5. Enjoying one of my favourite vegan meals at Paradiso restaurant. It’s a Portobello steak and was frickin’ fabulous.
Must recreate.
6. wine & loved ones
7. Cards. Note: Trying to teach someone Euchre at the end of the night is probably not the best idea. Just throwing that out there. ;)
8. Getting a tweet that KD Lang & crew are enjoying my vegan recipes via a caterer backstage! [Image via @clcampbell1271]
9. Blurry couple portrait #645364.
10. Tequila shots gone wrong. Thank you broken salt container.
11. Sunday morning.
12. Homemade brunch & a Timmy’s coffee run!
13. Served with Raw Triple Berry Fruit crisp.
14. Whole Foods Salad Bar.
15. Necessary hangover food. PS- You were right about the baked S&V Kettle chips!! New fav.
16. Repurposing the raw triple berry crisp into a salad with shredded kale, coconut oil, and balsamic vinegar. Very good idea.
17. Enjoying the sun and a wonderful new book after a rainy weekend. Note the highlighter. ;)
Until next time!
Whaaaat? You fed KD Lang? I just saw her Friday night in Atlanta. I wonder if she was snacking on some OSG treats down South? :)
I think that was the show actually! I had no idea, but a caterer tweeted me with all the pics. How was the show?
Too funny! The show was amazing – it was outdoors at the botanical gardens. Hearing her sing Hallelujah out there under the moon was hauntingly beautiful.
I can only imagine :)
That looks like a wonderfully crazy weekend! That berry breakfast….i want right now!!
Great photos :)
This was a great post! Thanks for sharing :)
KD Lang for the win!
What a fun weekend! Those mums are gorgeous, love the color and can’t believe they’ve lasted for that long!
I love gelato!! And now I want to make my very own berry crisp…and not share with anyone.
Looks like fun! I like creeping on other people’s weekends too. I think we all enjoy living vicariously through the internet ;)
Omigosh, those dogs really are perfect! So cute! Also, that gelato looks amazing! xx
Is that a “happy birthday” card from the niece and nephew? Happy Belated Birthday if I missed it! It looks like a WONDERFUL weekend!
Looks like an AWESOME weekend! I’ll happily taste test that portobello steak when you decide to re-create it. The blurry photo of you and Eric made me laugh – what a beauty!! :)
Hope the book is good! On my to read list.
It’s really good so far. I have highlighted so many things!! I might do a review on it when Im done.
The title of that book piqued my interest too! I’d love to hear a brief summary/opinion of the book once finished if you can manage to incorporate into one of your posts (and in the end you find the book as awesome as it appears.) I prefer reading mostly nonfiction for pleasure too, w/the occasional “substantial” fiction thrown into the mix.
Love this weekend snapshot series…much more of an interesting narrative than most other similar posts from other bloggers. Great job!
Great book! I’m a big fan of Chris’s Blog also
Looks like you had a lovely weekend.
It was my birthday and I went white water rafting- so much fun!
Just read The Fire Starter Sessions by Danielle Laporte and heard about that book – is it good??? :-)
What a fun summer weekend! That gelato does look delicious… I love combining raspberry and lemon flavors. So refreshing!
Those two Goldens are ridiculously cute! And can’t wait till you re-create the Portabello steaks :)
How cool about the KD Lang tweet – that’s pretty exciting! You did have a truly awesome weekend by the looks of it — busy, fun-filled weekends are the best; especially during the summer months :)
PS – how do you like that book – it definitely looks like something right up my alley (even if it is the size of ginormous university textbook!!!)
Looks like you had a wonderful weekend. I love, love, love fruit based gelato (and the cute little bowls and spoons that they come in)!
Lovely weekend! Thanks for sharing!
I laughed out loud at that salt picture! So funny! ;-)
wow, fabulous weekend!
Wow, what a fabulous weekend! DAIRY FREE GELATO!!??!!?? *amazing!* wow…simply wow!! and that portobello steak looks outrageous! thanks for sharing your fun weekend!
