We didn’t have anything planned for this weekend with the exception of our nephew’s birthday party. We decided to get our grocery shopping knocked out on Saturday since it was supposed to rain Sunday. We actually did a lot of adulting on Saturday. Chris had some work done on his car, we grocery shopped, we worked out in the yard during Zoe’s nap. Knocked some stuff off the to do list.
We snacked on lots of things Saturday. I made spinach and artichoke dip, bacon jalapeno dip and some BBQ wieners.
Zoe had fun riding around on her car and coloring in her Sofia the First book.
Sunday we hung around the house in the morning and got Zoe down for her nap early. I got the floors cleaned, the house dusted and the kitchen cleaned. I caught up on the rest of the 15 loads of laundry we do every week. (it’s really only like 5…but still) We woke Zoe up early from her nap so that we could go to our nephews birthday party. It was rainy and gross all day yesterday so when we got back, we just hung around the house and played until Zoe’s bath and bedtime. We had some delicious spaghetti for dinner. I made it with chickpea noodles. Have you tried them? A lot more protein and fiber and a lot less carbs than regular noodles. They actually had a lot of flavor and I liked the texture. We will definitely be making them again!
Linking up with Biana. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

How have I not seen those chickpea noodles before? I definitely need to try them! I was drooling over your dip this weekend. Looks like a great low key weekend for sure! Also, why do tiny people accumulate so much laundry!?!?
I’ve not heard of chickpea noodles but I bet I’d love it. I love all the different sorts of things pasta is made out of. I’m a big chickpea fan anyways 🙂
I definitely want to try chickpea noodles. Sounds like a productive weekend despite the dreariness. Here’s hoping this week is sweet and smooth!
I’ve never heard of chickpea noodles but I’m super curious now. I do love pasta but it’s so bad for you, so I need to look into this.
Sounds like you had a fairly nice weekend, which is always good. 🙂

All of your dips sound amazing. 🙂 I like the chickpea noodles, but haven’t tried the spaghetti yet! I need to trick Jason into eating them. LOL.
I love snack foods! Both of those dips look so good!
Ah, definitely will be trying out those chickpea noodles. I juuuust ordered some shirataki ones from Amazon and am hoping they’re a decent low carb option as well.
Chickpea noodles?! I need to learn more about this because it would be great to eat pasta without the guilt! Sounds like a lovely low key weekend!! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
All of your snacks look so yummy! Pasta with chickpea noodles sounds so interesting!
Chickpea noodles, I need to tell my Mom about them. She loves chickpeas. I have never heard of them so thanks for sharing them.
I’ll have to try the chickpea noodles!
You go getting a lot of stuff done this weekend!
I haven’t even heard of chickpea noddles but I’ll have to check them out! I do enjoy weekends where I feel like we get a lot accomplished. Sierra~Beautifully Candid
All of your Saturday snacks look SO GOOD! Yum, yum!
I am so over laundry, it’s ridiculous… and this is WITH Jerry helping with at least 50% of it.
I need to try chickpea noodles! I need the bacon jalapeno dip recipe!
The weather was pretty yuck for us this weekend too! I swear as soon as we had kids the amount of laundry that I have to do exploded! But hooray for getting adult things done. Sometimes it’s hard to fit all of that in!
I need to try these chickpea noodles since we love noodles in our house. Do you have a recipe for the bacon jalapeno dip?
Where did you find these chickpea noodle things? I want to try them!! And yes to all the dips and cocktail weenies and appetizers – and hooray for getting alllllll the shizz done this weekend.
Chickpea noodles sound interesting… I wonder if we (Kyle, lol) would like them. Ha.
It sounds like you guys had a fun, productive, relaxing weekend! Hope this week has been going well for you!
