Party Everyday

I don't know about you all, but we are having one of the most beautiful weekends here in PA. The weather is unbeatable. Not a single cloud in the sky and just a slight crisp of fresh fall air. It's truly perfect.

Last night, we ended the weekly birthday festivities for Toly with a big Birthday Dinner at Houllihans.

I invited a bunch of our friends out for a night of good drinks, good food, and good fun.

Toly and I arrived early to reserve a table. (Unfortunately, Houllihans does not take reservations or call ahead, so we wanted to be sure to have a table when our friends arrived)

With an hour to spare, what a better reason to indulge in Happy Hour!

That beautiful drink in my hand would be a signature Strawberry Basil Lemonade. I have no idea what was in it, but it was amazing! I loved the fresh strawberries and basil leaves floating in my glass.

My ambitious hubby can never resist the $5 Long Islands. Yes, that PITCHER was only $5!!

Once our friends arrived, we started the party!

For dinner, I ordered the Tuscan Salad to start.

White beans, tomatoes, basil, arugula, balsamic and goat cheese

And for my meal, I gave the whole pizza thing another try.

Remember my crummy experience with the pizza ordeal at the Cheesecake factory a few weeks ago? Well, fortunately, Houllihans got it right!

Roasted Vegetable Pizza without cheese (with the exception of the goat cheese crumbles of course)

It was delicious! The crust was extremely thin and crispy and the veggies were sweet and tender. Great pie!

For dessert, the table shared a slew of the mini desserts.

Cappuccino cake, berry cobbler, creme brulee....

I had some bites of them all and they were equally delicious!

We had such a great night and Toly really had his fill of a joyful birthday.

This morning, I woke up to nothing but sunshine.

We were participating in a charity walk for my mom's work at 9am, so I put together a quick but tasty breakfast...

English Muffin, one half with PB/PB/Smashed nanner/cinnamon and the other with Nutella and Raspberry Jam.



A little fruit with some Chobani and granola

And a nice cup of hazelnut coffee.

We are headed to Toly's parents for a BBQ in a little bit.

I am soaking up this breathtaking weekend and really starting to get excited for fall. Football games, apple festivals, pumpkin delights....it's really starting to hit me!

How's the weekend going for you? Hope it's great! :)
