Our bathroom and kitchen are currently under construction and I cannot wait for them to be done. The bathroom is already usable, but still needs to be painted and the kitchen, well, it still has some way to go. We are living out of basically our living room and our bedroom and its hard. Hopefully it will be completed within the next two weeks. I am so excited to decorate!

I would tell you that I am a now not only a soccer mom, but a hockey mom too. The little man started both a new season of soccer and his first hockey learn to skate lessons. Between sports, wedding planning and trips to Home Depot, we are busy bees.

Speaking of wedding planning, it has kind of stalled. We have our date, we have our place, but we don’t have much else. I’m planning on sharing my wedding planning adventures in more detail. Possibly a wedding planning blog series? We shall see!

I also celebrated by birthday last week. I am officially the big 2-7. I have found that the older I get, the less I feel like going out and partying for my birthday. Instead, we went to sushi dinner at Fushimi and enjoyed a delicious fruit tart from Fortunado Brother’s.

I also had the opportunity to go to America’s Got Talent. I don’t really follow the show, but my mom is a big fan. She got an email on Tuesday night that she can come pick up tickets at 8 PM, so we went. It was a lot of fun to watch all of the performers live. If you watch the show, you might have been able to see the top of my head during the standing ovations because we were on the very top.

Last, but not least, I got a new phone. After being loyal to my iPhones for the last 6 years, I took the plunge and switched to Android. I got the LG G3 and I am so in love with it. Every time I discover a new feature I turn to Tommy and say I love this phone. I’m pretty sure he is sick of hearing about it but, I can totally understand why Android users make fun of the iPhone.

Are you an iPhone or Android user? Did you play any sports as a kid?

First on deck is something I threw together after work one day. I was hungry, hungry, hungry so I just basically threw a bit of everything in a bowl, stirred and ate. Totally yummy and veggie and protein packed. Win-win!

This baby was inspired by a recipe in my Everyday with Rachel Ray magazine and came together super quick to make a yummy, Mexican Chicken dinner on a red of avocado and arugula. I wish I had leftovers!

Quinoa egg bowls have made a return! This was Trader Joe’s tri-color quinoa with corn, black beans and white button mushrooms. When the yolk breaks on a bowl like it, I swear it is magic!

This dinner brought back memories of my summers in Poland. Strawberry pierogi topped with a lightened version of the typical polish heavy cream topping. Instead of heavy cream and sugar, I used plain Chobani, a splash of skim milk and a bit of brown sugar. Y-U-M-M-Y!

This baby is Zucchini Cacao Nib Bread. The recipe will follow shortly, but I can say this is short of heavenly.

When I topped it with Coconut butter it was heaven on earth. Sorry for the blasphemy, but it is that good!

Last but definitely not least, my birthday surprises! Tommy had told me not to buy or bring lunch on my birthday, but I didn’t know what he had up his sleeve. He showed up with a huge cooler filled with sushi and a homemade cake, which he made! So sweet!

And as if that wasn’t enough, I came home after class to be surprised with a little party with some of my best friends, ice cream cake

and champagne, all organized by Tommy too. Is he amazing or what?

That’s all I got for this week! We are hitting up Hershey, PA this weekend, so expect to see lots of CHOCOLATE in next week’s WIAW!

What’s the best thing you are this week?

Even though today is my actual birthday, the celebrating won’t start until Friday when Tommy, Munchkin and I head out to Hershey, PA to enjoy good food, good fun and CHOCOLATE! If there are any places in the Hershey/Lancaster/Harrisburg area that are worth checking out, please let me know!
