Hello Monday : Weekend Edition IV

It's been a while since I've posted a weekend edition.. To be true I haven't been around lately.. roaming around in the wilderness.. which was AWESOME!!

This weekend.. we had to take an impromptu road trip (again) to Reno, Nevada.. So hubby calls at 10 a.m. on Friday and tells me we are leaving at 6 in the evening and it might take two days.. so, pack accordingly.. I left everything I was doing and started making a list of things that we would need and whether we had it or not.. plus thought of something easy to make for dinner, that we could eat before leaving or take it with us..

At exact 6 we left for another road trip, although it was an 8 hr drive it did not seem as if it was a long trip after the last road trip we took.. but we had still not recovered from the tiredness of the last trip and we started to feel it at about 2 in the night and so we started looking for a rest stop.. Can you believe it we couldn't get a place till 4.. There was either NO VACANCY or We were driving through a National forest.. Finally we got a place and straightaway went to sleep to wake up at 9 even more tired.. have no idea why.. Especially me.. I just wanted to curl up on the bed and sleep.. sleep.. sleep.. anyway we had some work to do.. So, we headed on to Reno to visit hubby's bro.. we all had a lovely breakfast, took care of the work and headed back another long 8 hr drive.. exhausting.. took a break for dinner, good long 45 minutes break... then back in the car!!.. Straight to home sweet home this time... The thought of home never seemed so good and tempting as it did at that hour!!

Well, a nice refreshing sleep and long hot shower.. Sunday was perfect with a lot of lazy times with hubby and talks with bro.. it was just perfect..

Here, it is my weekend in some pics...

Weekend Edition III

It's time for another Weekend Edition..

The weekend had a great start, with a movie, Men in Black. Well, IMDB has given a low rating for its newest sequel, however, we, the 3 musketeers : Me, hubby and brother liked the movie, it has those Will Smith funny moments as well as serious ones.. it did have some "yucky" ones too.. especially with those alien type creatures "ooozing" out stuff.. haha.. you made that face right.. the ewww one.. haha.. well we still enjoyed it!!

/our movie stubs

Hubby left these in the kitchen before leaving for work on Saturday!! Isn't he just the best!!
Love you soooo much!! :) :)

Saturday was a bit slow, with hubby on work all day and me and brother too lazy to do anything.... or for that matter make a plan as to what to do next!!
Do you ever have such moments??

trying to make funny faces!! yes! M wearing a Minnie Mouse top!! I love it!! :)

Boys : hard at work!!

Then came Saturday evening and the energy that we had been saving up the whole day was put into action with a great BBQ at our community BBQ pits.. Hubby and brother really enjoyed their hot dogs.. I, on the other hand loved my veggie BBQ with grilled veggies, sweet potatoes and tater bites (yummy)..

We did plan a grilled pineapple dessert but our tummies were too full for another round...

I had made a lot of plans for Sunday but it turned out that we are "lazy bums", got up late, lazed around on the couch, watched looney tunes while having breakfast, hubby wanted to have a tropical feel so he told me to top a beer mug with ice and put "powerade" in it with a straw.. weird right!! But we are that way.. Weird..

Tropical "Powerade"!! 

We finally got up around 1 in the afternoon to leave for another fun filled day.. as it would not have been completed without my trip to the mall and the discount book store to score another read..

Ready to go!!

My brother did his bit of the shopping and I did mine.. and hubby did his, paying the bill that is, heheh, sorry hubby just a joke. :P

Tried it on!! Loved it!1 No clue Why I DID NOT GET IT!! Somebody hit me on the head!!

We had a perfect late lunch at Islands with burgers on our plates before heading on for another movie, yea I know its the second one in 2 days.. I think it was a day for cartoons cause we saw Disney's new movie Brave!! The AMC Burbank theatres have the new Dolby Atmos sound system and if you haven't checked it out.. you should, it was an awesome experience. This sound system is specially designed to enhance your 3-D experience, with speakers installed overhead as well. You could hear and fell every sound of the movie..

Our drinks!

Yummy burgers and fries for the table!

We ended the day by skipping dinner and instead relieving our sweet tooth at yogurtland, it's my favorite place for dessert.

Dinner :P

Recipe Time : The (W)hole Omlette

You must have seen the pic of my (W)hole Omlette in my Weekend Edition- II and I did get some requests for the recipe .. So, here it is....

This one was made with whole egg (white+yolk) especially for hubby!!

Ingredients:

1. Olive Oil spray
2. Garlic - 2 cloves (minced or finely chopped)
3. Onions - 1/2 if big 1 if small (finely chopped)
4. Mushrooms - 3-4 (finely chopped)
5. Baby spinach - a handful
6. Bell Pepper - 1 Big (Green/Red/Yellow) *
7. Egg white - 2
8. Salt - to taste
9. Pepper - to taste
10. Italian seasoning - 1/4 tsp
11. Cilantro - for garnishing
12. Ground roasted cumin - 1/4 tsp

Method

1. Whisk together egg white, salt, freshly crushed black pepper and Italian seasoning in a bowl and keep it aside let the flavors get mixed.
2. Cut the bell peppers so as to make rounds, remove the seeds.
3. Spray olive oil on a flat base pan.
4. Saute garlic, onions and mushrooms.
5. Add spinach.
6. Saute them to a point that they become soft but still have a bit of crunch.
7. Keep the bell peppers on the pan and divide the sauteed veggies equally in them.
8. Pour the egg white mixture into each bell pepper.
9. Let it cook, on low heat , cover for about 2-3 mins, so as to cook the veggies and the egg whites together.
10. With a flat spatula remove each bell pepper and serve it by garnishing with fresh cilantro and a pinch of ground cumin on each.
11. Enjoy it with freshly squeezed juice or a cup of coffee!!

* I personally like the green ones as they have a slight bitterness to it that goes pretty well for me.. but you can use any..
Red and Yellow ones give it a beautiful color!!

It's great healthy breakfast that you can enjoy with your family and friends and it takes just 15 mins to prepare!! So try it and temme how you liked it!!
