My new obsession!

My new and beautiful food processor... has easily become my latest obsession! Sean got me this for my birthday (yes, I know its lame but I have been wanting one for a while) even though we had  agreed to not get each other gifts. In the past couple of weeks I have found myself pinning any recipe that involves a food processor just so I have an excuse to use it. Here are a couple of my new favorites: 

1. Homemade pesto

2. Homemade hummus

3. Healthy banana, peanut butter, and chocolate ice cream

Any other suggestions????

Recent Adventures

Sean and I have had a very busy past couple of weeks. Sean started grad school classes about 3 weeks ago, I am less than a week away from being done with my last clinical rotation, and we celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary on July 4th. While trying to stay cool during the most recent heat wave and trying to survive the crazy thunder storms, we have managed to have tons of fun with friends.

We lost power on a friday night about 2 weeks ago (and didnt get it back for 3 days). Luckily we had already planned to spend Saturday with Natalie and Evan touring vineyards in the Shenandoah Valley. Several of the places we had planned to visit were closed due to power outages but we still managed to do wine tastings at Wolf Gap Vineyards and Shenandoah Vineyards. I particularly like Wolf Gap because the owners name was Willard! We had such a blast with these two!

How cute are they?

We also went to a DC United vs. Montreal Impact game to celebrate our anniversary. We had an amazing time at the game and Sean was thrilled because DC United won!
