Hi guys!
My to-do list is…mmm…about half done.
Grocery shopping- Folding laundry – doing this in a little while
- A trip to the crafts store – going tomorrow
- Working on blog stuff – erg, don’t want to talk about it…too stressful
Dinner with my parents
For dinner with my parents, I took a Cucumber, Tomato, Basil & Red Onion Salad to share. Super easy, quick and topped with some Italian salad dressing.
Basil just makes everything taste like summertime in my opinion!
Dinner was freshly steamed green beans, corn on the cob (un-pictured), broccoli rice and T-bone steaks. Yes, just after I got done talking about eating a New York strip the size of my head, I had another one eek. I actually only ate about 1/4 of the whole thing and shared the rest with Ben.
The crowning jewel of the meal was dessert. Isn’t it always? My Mom found Sweet and Salty Cluster ice cream at the store today. Let me repeat: SWEET & SALTY CLUSTER ICE CREAM!
This was whipped cream flavored ice cream with salty chocolate peanuts, peanut butter cone pieces and a caramel swirl. Basically, the best things ever, in a scoop. Served with my Mom’s homemade apple crisp, well, I could barely contain myself!! Let’s just say I’m glad I got that workout in this morning!
This was another meal hit out of the ballpark – thanks Mom!
Off to finish part of my to-do list – I hope you had a great weekend 😀 See you on the flip side!

What’s your favorite flavor of ice cream?
That salad sounds great and oh my gosh, that ice cream looks amazing!! My favorite ice cream flavor is the all-time classic…Cookies N Cream! Yum.
I’m really liking So Delicious Mocha Almond Fudge right now. It has the sweet/salty thing going on too which I love
That ice cream sounds amazing! 😀 I could never pick a fave flavor. Saturday night’s dinner was some wicked brownies and vanilla ice cream. I love green tea, red beans, chocolate, and strawberry ice cream too. Nom nom.
That salad looks great esp with the basil action!
I love Phish Food by Ben & Jerry’s but I really love Chunky Money. Something about it being sweet from the banana but salty crunchy from the walnuts. I love sweet and salty combos!
I love Moose Tracks – it is an all-time favorite. Vanilla ice cream with peanut butter cups and famous Moose Tracks® fudge swirls. Mmm – the fudge is so good. But this Sweet and Salty Clusters sounds like a must try. Now I want ice cream!
Wow that ice cream sounds right up my alley! I love the combo of sweet and salty. My fav ice cream flavor, though, is green tea. Have you ever tried that? It’s too DIE for!

Anything Blue Bunny is amazing!
I really like the look of that salad, and I agree with you on the basil!
