It’s all about the simple things really!
I’m thankful for Panera Bread and its inclusion of really sharp white Vermont Cheddar on my breakfast sandwich from Friday.
I’m thankful for happy hour menus where you can order things like 
mushrooms stuffed with Italian sausage and polenta with gorgonzola and pesto cream for a measly $3.
I’m thankful for baby showers for beautiful friends who include foods like fresh sandwiches, veggies, pesto pasta salad, Israeli couscous, and chocolate cake. I’m thankful for fun ideas for my own future shower like the baby diaper cake!
I’m thankful for date night with my husband at breweries where we never actually order a beer (I’m a beer snob and they did NOT have anything that I liked!) but get drunk on the bar food sampler. OK, maybe not drunk…but we were pretty happy when we left!
But most of all I’m thankful for my husband, who was gone all week, coming home to me. I hate it when he’s gone!
Happy Sunday everyone!
P.S. You have until midnight Mountain Standard Time tonight to enter the Chocolate Indulgence Giveaway from Stonyfield! Click here for details!
Polenta with gorgonzola??? Yum! I think the Joyful Kitchen needs to recreate this and share with the class 🙂
The Panera breakfast sandwich looks REALLY good. I need to get it in my belly pronto! I’m going to see if they serve breakfast for lunch:)
I’ve had the Rock Bottom bar bites sampler and it was huge. Good food but tons of it.
How cute are these photos!? The mom-to-be is just glowing:) Awww.
Amen to Panera. I had the best soup/sandwich combo on Friday. Tasty…and now I’m hungry.
I loved reading this post because it reminds me of the things I am thankful for too! You take such great photos, btw. And WOW – mushrooms stuffed with Italian sausage?! Sounds delish.
that is an amazing baby shower!! wow….I got pretty much 1/10th of that. we got almost everything ourselves and although it sucked$$ at least we picked out what we wanted but congrats to the mama to be! FUN!
Very enjoyable post. 🙂
What a great post!! Loved the pics and yummy eats!! Looks like you had a great weekend, and boooo for the hubby being gone all week, I’m sure he’s happy to be back! 🙂
Glad you got to see the hubs again 🙂 I <33333 breweries!! Such good food.
I’m thankful for stumbling across terrific blogs such as this one! Happy to start reading, your pictures are wonderful.
mmmmmmm BIG PRETZEL!!! That looks amazing. Everything looks amazing haha
Whoa, girl your pics are amazing! Yummy eats 🙂 Tonight I’m thankful for homemade guac and a few—or 10—Coronas awaiting me 😉
I do like Rock Bottom’s appetizer sampler. I have had a few of their beers, and they’re ok. But now I stick to the root beer. 🙂
I would hate for my husband to be gone all week too. Glad he’s back and you get to enjoy time together.
Awww, I didn’t know you were without a hub all week! I’m sure you’re glad to have him back!
i love the hot pretzel picture. that’s one of my random favorite foods, that i rarely ever eat. always such a treat when i do!!
A giant pretzel as an appetizer? I love that idea!
i hate when my hubby is gone too. he’s been camping since thursday and i’m so ready for him to come home today!! 🙂
