weekend brunch

brunch

this has become my new very favorite thing to eat, well, for any meal really. it’s this delicious, super moist gluten-free bread by new grains that has been toasted with chicken salad on top. i don’t usually eat gluten-free and actually picked up this bread by mistake one day at the store, but it makes the perfect combo paired with the chicken salad. we had this for brunch yesterday morning and then roasted some asparagus with a reduced balsamic glaze for a side (not pictured) because as you all probably know, asparagus is that other thing i just can’t seem to ever get enough of. on a side note, writing and editing a food post at night is definitely never a good idea … it’s making me soo hungry … it doesn’t help much that camden is eating a huge piece of chocolate cake right beside me…

we always celebrate valentine’s day early. mostly because we hate the crowds and reserving a place in time at our favorite restaurant and … it’s just easier that way. because camden got a really fancy record player for christmas, we thought instead of exchanging v-day gifts this year it might be fun to go and pick out a few of our favorite records together. best idea we’ve ever had. our goal was to find the beatles album, hey, jude because well … you know … but no luck this time. we instead scored another great beatles album, abbey road, an old rolling stones album, and a little elton john. we ate at our favorite spot in the city, eva. if you live in salt lake and haven’t eaten there i suggest you do so … now. we are just about to watch about time … have you seen it? it seemed like a good movie to finish off our little pre-valentine’s date night. what are your valentine’s plans this year?
