Weekend Recap!

Hi friends! How was your last weekend in September? (Whoa, right?!) 

Friday, I went from this... 

...to THIS! :)

And I love it! I have been dying to do a longish bob like Jen's (below). (Don't you like how I act like we're friends by the way-"Oh, ya know.. my buddy, Jen..." haha). 

Mine's prolly a little shorter than hers, but that's cool. I like it a lot!

Friday night, had a brief going away happy hour for my boss. It was fun, but also bittersweet to say goodbye to his days as coworker. :( Since I had a couple happy hour beverages in me, it seemed to make no sense to head home! A girl friend, Ashley, and I headed to have dinner and girl talk at a local restaurant on the patio. The weather here has been too fabulous to waste. All patios, all the time. ;)

Saturday night, headed out to Eric's fam's for some fabulous bbq and to watch the TU game. Alas, TU was once again not victorious. *le sigh* We're coming back this weekend, friends. You just wait.

And today, I made some yumminess I'd discovered on Chelsea's blog- cheesecake stuffed strawberries!

My actual photo! (I'm so proud.. haha) 

They were SO yummy and really easy! And they were a hit at a bbq tonight! I made some extra for Gossip Girl premiere night tomorrow night (we always have GG watch parties at our casa. So glad it's back!) I have a ton of supplies left, so I'll probably make some for the tailgate next weekend, too!

To make:

 Ingredients:
-1 lb strawberries (I actually used two containers or 2lbs b/c strawberries are going out of season, so I wanted to pick out the best ones from each container. I had PLENTY of cheesecake filling for all the berries in both containers). 
-8 oz. (one brick) cream cheese, softened 
-3-4 tbsp powdered sugar (4 tbsp for a sweeter filling)
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-graham cracker crumbs 

Directions:
1. Rinse strawberries and cut around the top of the strawberry. Remove the top and clean out with a paring knife, if necessary (some may already be hollow inside). Prep all strawberries and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Add cream cheese mix to a piping bag or ziploc with the corner snipped off. Fill strawberries with cheesecake mixture. Once strawberries are filled, dip the top in graham cracker crumbs. If not serving immediately, refrigerate until serving.


Like Chelsea, I thought it would take awhile to cut the center from the berries, but it really didn't at all. Thanks again for posting, Chelsea! :)

Took the berry goodness to a bbq hosted by one of my friends and coworkers, April! Our little team got together to bid farewell to our boss and hang out off the clock.

Friends, check.out.that.cookie.cake April made. Holy yummy. (here's where she got the recipe if you're interested! It was SO good!)

With Jesse (far right). Our little team won't be the same without him... :(

Andrea, me, April 

 Soooo that was the weekend! :)  (I need to get back on board with the San Fran blogging. I know I know.) Happy Monday, everyone!
