And On The 7th Day....We Rest

We had the best day!

I officially believe that every Sunday should be reserved for nothing but rest. No demanding schedules, no definite plans, no work, no grueling chores...nothing but some well deserved R&R.

I can not tell you how much I enjoy a Sunday with nothing to do. It really makes starting the week so much better. Everyone should listen to the Big Man and live up the 7th day sabbath rule to the fullest.

Anyways, everything about today was just grand.

Starting with breakfast...


I first took some Kashi Go Lean Crunch (which you can not see) and poured just a tad of almond milk on top so that the cereal would get just a little mushy. (This is my favorite way to eat this cereal) Then, I added 1/2 of an incredibly sweet nectarine (which you also can not see), strawberries, kiwi and a few locally grown blackberries. Then I topped the bowl with TJ Greek Pomegranate yogurt. (This flavor was awesome, I need to remember to get more!)

This bowl of fruit delight was outstanding. And I just realized that everything about it was completely fresh and/or organic. What a feel good kind of breakfast.

Toly had a beautiful breakfast too. I made him scrambled eggs with Cinnamon raisin bread and some fresh fruit (that didn't quite fit into my bowl ;)

And because the bread just smelled so amazing, I had to have a slice as well with some Naturally More PB and 1/2 a mashed nanner.

After a beautiful Sunday breakfast, we leisurely moved on to our next item of the day....

Laying out by the pool.....

(Look at this guy with a Runners Magazine....I'm totally rubbing off on him)

We spent a wonderful couple of hours relaxing in the sun and playing in the pool.

After we got our fill, we came back home and vegged for a little, took a walk, and then worked on dinner.

Salmon was on the menu tonight. I could eat salmon every day of my life I believe, but since I don't I just savor the days when I do make it.

I marinated the fish for several hours (which is key when grilling salmon) and placed it on top one of the best salads ever humanly created.

A bed of romaine with cucumber, yellow tomato, avocado,radish, and a tad goat cheese tossed in a little apricot balsamic. Then, I piled grilled asparagus, grilled red onion, and grilled peaches.

Un-freakin-believable! Definitely made up for my measly little Caraba's Salad from last night. Beat that Carabas!

Toly ate his salmon with his preferred accompaniments. Baked Potato. But his plate looked lonely, so I made him a pretty little caprese salad.


We enjoyed dinner outside because the wheather was unbeatable. It was a perfect clear August night. No humidity, no wind, just simply refreshing!

These kind of nights call for some added ambiance of vino of course. Sammy agreed!

And that was our great day. Nothing out of the ordinary or mind blowing, just a simply pleasant Sunday that we soaked up.

The next few weekends are going to be a tad crazy, so this was the perfect way to spend our last "free" weekend for awhile.

And now, we are getting ready to watch a few episodes of Entourage and calling it a day.

How about you all? What did you do this weekend?
