Yesterday it was in the low 90s!!!!! Felt like it was mid July or something! I took advantage of this hot day to wear a new dress I recently bought...
Ok so maybe I took this pic in the bathroom at work right before I changed for dance class, but I just was really loving that dress yesterday and wanted to share! Of course I had on a cardigan as the hot weather means the boys crank up the AC!!! Grrr! Don't worry I turn it off when us girls get too cold.
So after DANCE CLASS (yes I finally went back to class after my studying hiatus!!), and it was so nice to dance off my calories instead of a normal workout! Oh if only it wasn't so expensive I'd take class way more often...anyways AFTER class
we Grilled! We grilled Zucchini, Summer Squash, Red Onion, Marinated Chicken (from TJ's), and some Bay Scallops that Brian and I had picked up Sunday at WF's (on sale right now!).Please note the classy yellow plastic "dinnerware" and plastic "flatware"...we decided to run the dishwasher the other night but were out of dishwasher soap!!! So needless to say we were out of things. I'd also like to note that this rarely happens!
Chicken, Veggies, and some Scallops!
Oh I almost forgot, roomie and I had an "appetizer". We grilled up a good 'ol Hot Dog! There's something about a hot dog on the grill...as awful as they are I probably only have 2 or 3 all summer and the only other times are when I'm at a Red Sox Game...something about Fenway Franks, they are AWESOME!
We shared I dog...I had my half with Ketchup....mmmmmmmmmm.
Later we had to make a quick trip to the grocery store for dish soap and decided to pick up a container of Eddy's Slow Churned Mint Chocolate Chip!!! At only 120 calories per serving this is a GREAT treat with very little guilt. We even splurged on a box of Waffle Cones!! They were the same # of calories as the sugar cones so we went for it. A perfect 170 calories icecreamy dessert. This ice cream does NOT taste low fat!
I'd also like to note that I believe in most ice cream shops a Waffle Cone is much more than 50 calories...these are just the grocery store kind ( I believe Keebler).
