Day Forty Five.

Day Forty Five - we headed to Phoenix to yes, celebrate my birthday...(and nick's too).  We both decided to try eating meat for this weekend, a little bit before Easter...

For lunch, I stayed veg - mom & I went to Camelback Inn for a relaxing spa day.  It was just what I needed after being so sick.

lunch
greek bruschetta
spinach salad with bleu cheese, edamame and grapes.

For dinner, it was Nick's little birthday dinner with my parents and brother after he got in late Friday night. We went to one of our fav places in Scottsdale - Blanco Taco.  I had a little steak with my salad but Nick went for it with a steak burrito.

Day Forty One to Forty Four.

Day Forty One to Forty Three was a tough three days...Sunday evening I came down with what I thought was an allergy attack...by Monday morning, I was beyond sick with the flu...so for 2 days I didn't eat and by the time I did start eating...it was a baked potato and saltine crackers.  By Thursday I was feeling a bit more normal and was able to go back to work - thank goodness.  So unfortunately, no blog posts.

Day Forty.

Sunday was a great day, started with a special weekend bootcamp, went to farmers market and spent time enjoying the lovely warm weather.

For dinner, we made a spinach ricotta ravioli with pesto.  So yummy!

Birthday celebrations continued and really haven't stopped even weeks after.  I figure why not, you only turn 30 once!  Nick treated me to a romantical dinner at Greens at Fort Mason.  I made sure to take pictures of every course.  Enjoy & check out Greens!

Day Thirty Eight.

The next day was my birthday celebration with some of our wonderful friends in the city.  We quickly picked up Papalote burritos before heading to Southern Pacific Brewery.

Day Thirty Seven.

Day 37 was my 30th birthday.  For the last couple of years, Nick has made me my fav mac n cheese (mom's version) and smoked sausage...but since we were veg, we just had mac n cheese.  It was delicious, but forgot to take any photos.
