a picture is worth a thousand words

I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day! Mine was extra special because, as is tradition, the guests at my family's bbq sang "Happy Birthday" to me as we served dessert. I usually spend my actual day with my own friends so it's so nice to have the chance to be surrounded by family for my "almost" birthday. It was a long day of good food, family, and sunshine! Here's a recap of my eats for the day: 

bowl of cereal with banana & flax, 

apple to hold me over until the guests arrived, 

veggie platter... I was hungry and ate the a lot of all the vegetable sans the gross Ranch dressing dip, 

organic blue corn tortilla chips with homemade guacamole, I also had some homemade salsa with 2 more chips, no picture though, 

4 tiny shrimp without cocktail sauce, 

nearly 1 entire plate of my aunt's salad (the dressing she makes is fabulous, it's my favorite), 

small portion of triple bean salad, 

3 oz grilled salmon fillet & small portion of pecan couscous, 

yogurt parfait, 

slice of homemade cake (it looks just like the one Becca made, lol),

and finally a cookie from yesterday. I ended up going back for a second :) they were scrumptious and no leftovers!
