Wednesdays!

Every Wednesday evening, I meet up with my good friends Andrea and Lisa for a dinner date. We each take turns hosting at our homes and making the main dishes. Last week it was my turn, and I made Mediterranean couscous packed with yummy tomatoes, onions, zucchini, grilled chicken, feta, and lots of garlic! I tweaked the recipe on the back of a box of couscous. (sorry, when I get a digital camera that works I can upload pictures so this isnt so boring!)

 But anyway it's such a great time for us to get together and share our lives with one another. We talk about whats going on in our lives, food, fun, love, boys,jobs, kids, and everything in between. (And swap recipes and fun DIY ideas as well!) Lisa and her husband Scott have been married for 6 years, and Andrea has been dating Dano for almost 2 years (right?) Almost the same amount of time as me and Garrett :) So we dish out lots of advice, hold each other accountable,  and seek out some guidance from Lisa because she's "been there, done that". :)

This past week I made Artichoke bites. SO good. (I used gorgonzola instead of parm) I love artichokes! I think they seem a little intimidating to mess with when theyre not marinated and found on the shelf at a grocery store in a cute  little jar. BUT, here is a slideshow tutorial thing Garrett sent me a while back on how to tackle them!
