Celebrate with Shakes

July 25, 2011 by Julie 63 Comments

Ryan’s first day at his new job went well!

Of course we had to celebrate and what better way for this ice cream lovin’ duo to celebrate than with cookies ‘n’ cream shakes!?

We picked up these Edy’s cookies ‘n’ cream shakes from Publix after they caught Ryan’s eye.

You simply add a splash of milk to the container and stir and you’re all set!

They were surprisingly delicious! And no blender was needed. I was also surprised to see that each shake had less than 300 calories. That is basically unheard of when it comes to milkshakes!

Our shakes were enjoyed after dinner.

When Ryan got home from work, we sat down to a complimentary dinner offered by the hotel where we’re staying.

I made myself a salad from the salad bar and topped it with pepper steak and enjoyed it alongside some coleslaw.

The steak was really chewy and fatty, but I ate it all anyway. Just thinking back about this meal kind of makes me feel a little nauseous. Not really a good sign, huh?

I also ate a small bowl of croutons (they were so garlicy and delicious!) and some rice pilaf that went undocumented.

The shakes were clearly the highlight of the evening for us!

Another highlight? The Bachelorette!!! It’s on in five minutes, so it’s time for me to crawl into the big, comfy hotel bed and indulge my girly reality show lovin’ self.

P.S. The Fashion page was updated today!

    Ah, Wawa added a milkshake machine near the coffee/soda area, and my little brother and sister have never been so happy. Nothing like an easy milkshake to fill life with joy!

    Congrats to Ryan, and hooray for a successful first day in the new digs. While I’m sure hotel living isn’t all just free meals and fitness centers, I’m glad it’s looking up!

    your shoes look too big for your feet. there is a lot of space between your toes and the edge of the shoe.
