There's a Theme Here . . .

Evidently when I said I was gonna take a break from healthy eating while visiting friends in southern California, I wasn't kidding!

Snooki food (fried pickles)

firecracker "chicken" (made with gardein)

Blue Moon + Guinness

Amy with "Amy" wine at Amazing Grapes

Sammy exploring at Gymboree class with Miss Jamie

babies & booze: two of my favorite things
(lunch at the Beachcomber on Newport Beach)

and speaking of unhealthy . . .
I made us some mac & cheese Saturday night

but then I balanced it out with this

Please excuse the terrible photos--my camera desperately needs to be charged, so these are less-than-optimal cell phone pics.  But I've been more consumed with hanging out with my dearest peeps than trying to get good pictures.  We've been having a blast!  Not to mention, we made a little stop here yesterday:

forget seasonal flavors . . . 
I'll always be loyal to red velvet

I have to kiss my friends goodbye in the morning, but at least I'll have something to distract me . . . Superbowl XLV!  What's everyone doing for the big game??
