Weekend Recap: Burgers, Hiking, & a Sunset on Fire

This has been a pretty lovely weekend at home this weekend but we’ve been out and about plenty!

Friday night we stayed in, had some cocktails & wine, and grilled burgers.  We had rosemary olive oil fries & grilled corn on the side…so summery & perfect! We love putting guac on our burgers too. I ate mine over arugula! And I went back for more fries 🙂

Shop the look: Tank | Shorts | Sandals (similar here, here) | Necklace (similar here)

On Saturday I was up early to shoot with Deeana, then Craig and I headed out to Morrow Mountain to hike before visiting his family. I was starving before we left though so I crushed some eggs whites on ezekiel bread with melted cheddar, guac, and red pepper flakes. NOM.

We did the 4.2 mile hike and it was SO muggy. Needless to say I was drenched in sweat after…luckily I thought to bring a change of clothes!!  Saturday mornings are normally reserved for a longer run, but this weekend the schedule just didn’t allow that, and the hike was enough of a workout!

We didn’t get rained on during the hike but went through a thunderstorm on the way home.  Saturday night was takeout Chinese food, starting a new series on Netflix, snugglin’ on the couch, and going to bed by 11.  This grandma loves it!!! Haha.

Sunday AM was all about some protein waffles, coffee, & Pinterest.

We did lots of yard work on Sunday, chores around the house, and a bit of relaxing.  We grilled out for dinner and ate on the porch with our white lights that I love so much.  Grilled chicken, broccoli, and brown rice, plus a glass of chardonnay of course 🙂

Then we ended the evening watching this sunset…

Gorgeous.

I hope y’all had a nice weekend!  And now that I am posting this, Monday is OVER and I’m about to go get burgers again with Craig and my bro.  How many burgers are too many, LOL. (I am having them with friends on Wednesday too…oops).

What was the best part of your weekend?

What food could you eat all the time and never get sick of it? My list would be pretty long I feel like…pizza, burgs, sweet potato fries, chocolate in practically any form, oatmeal, peanut butter, popcorn, tortilla chips, CHEESE, Chardonnay (that’s a food right?!)

xo,

Bess

    Looks like a fun weekend! I love putting guac on my burgers, too! 🙂

    I could eat asparagus, peanut butter and jelly toast, tuna melts, shrimp and grits, and coconut cake and never get sick of any of those! And yes, Chardonnay counts cause that’s also on my list. 😉

    I am the saaaame way! I am currently in a phase of putting avocado on literally everything.

    The best part of my weekend was definitely my bridal shower. And getting to see some of my best friends who flew in town to celebrate. 🙂

    Our lists are pretty similar! I could eat peanut butter, PB&J, popcorn, watermelon, acai bowls, oatmeal and of course ice cream without ever getting sick of it!
