Labor Day hasn’t been too laborious, which is a very good thing. 😀
I ran to the mall to do some returns before meeting up with my friend Laurel to lay by the pool for an hour or so. When I arrived home, I found Ryan sitting at the kitchen table hard at work stuffing our remaining wedding invitations. What a guy!
I sat down to join him after making us banana vanilla protein shakes.
The shake included:
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/2 c. vanilla bean frozen yogurt
- 3/4 c. milk
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
My “J” cup was in the dishwasher from yesterday’s mocha green monster, so Ryan kindly let me use his initial cup.
We ran out of stamps for our RSVP card envelopes, so we couldn’t completely finish stuffing our wedding invitations, bu t we only have 10 left. That’s nuffin!
Dinner
Though we had some snapper waiting to be prepared for dinner in the fridge, Ryan had the idea of serving the fish with a fresh arugula salad, so we headed to the grocery store to pick up the necessary goods.
While I prepared the fish and a side of Kraft grilled cheese explosion macaroni and cheese, Ryan prepped the salads with sliced zucchini, freshly squeezed lemon juice and grated lemon, salt, pepper and a bit of olive oil.
I broiled the snapper, topped with salt, pepper and several lemon slices, for approximately 10 minutes.
We enjoyed our fish on top of the arugula salad with a side of mac and cheese.
(My salad bowl looks like a super tiny plate, but it’s actually a deep bowl. Lots more veggies that ya think!)
Ryan picked up a box of this new flavor of Kraft mac and cheese saying we just had to try it. I’m not gonna lie, it was pretty fantastic, though I think we’ll be sticking to mac and cheese varieties with a more understandable ingredient list.
Tasty, tasty!
I gotta run… We’re in the middle of Jeopardy and celebrities are on this week which means the trivia is easy-peasy. I gotta go win a million dollars! 😉

I loooooove Jeopardy! I’ve been a fan since I was little. 🙂 I hope to go on the show someday . . .
Mac n cheese was such a staple in my diet when I was younger, haha! Now they’ve got all these fancy kinds, jeez! Looks delish as always, though 😀
Glad you had a relaxing labor day! And Ryan is too sweet 🙂 Love it!
Its so cute that you and your fiance cook dinner together! Thats adorable!

I LOVE trivia! Dave and Buster’s has a new trivia game where you get to play 5 other “contestants.” So fun!
bahahaha, i love how easy the celebrity weeks are…the teen championships are more difficult, for Heaven’s sake!
I freakin’ love trivia! I’m full of random knowledge!
What a good fiance you have! Does Ryan have any friends who’d like to move north? 😉
If only Kraft mac n cheese could be healthy… I practically lived on that stuff when I was younger!
The Mac & cheese comment made me laugh because I am the same as Ryan. The minute I knew new Kraft Mac & cheese had a new flavor, I was ALL about it & on the hunt for it 🙂 I picked some up yesterday- I am beyond excited to try it. -It’s the little things in life, lol!
Kraft is the only kind of Mac & cheese I’ll eat- it’s the one thing I sacrifice on the ‘health’ list 🙂 I just can’t compare any other brand to it- it’s soooooo good.
Ok, sorry to write like a book about my love of Kraft Mac & Cheese 😀
I do like trivia- it’s so much fun to play with a bunch of people.
I am all about trivia, I try & go at least once a week…but I’ve been known to go more than that 😉 I love celeb jeps as well, so good!
I had no idea Kraft had a new flavor! I’ll have to look for it for my girls, looks yummy!
Love trivia! 🙂
I love that Labor Day is always so relaxing! 🙂 Glad you enjoyed the day. Haha, my hubby just got the Mac and Cheese Explosion and loved it too! 🙂

Oh I love trivia. I go almost every Thursday night at my local ale house 🙂 Yummmm mac and cheese!
LOVE trivia! Although I’m more of a Wheel of Fortune gal, Jay and I both love sitting down to watch the 2 shows. Trivia nights are always fun and a good excuse to get out of the house too. 🙂
I had mac & cheese today too! It’s my favorite, unfortunately it is my one food that I won’t be giving up anytime soon, but will be eaten in moderation 🙂
I looooove kraft mac and cheese… not even gonna lie 🙂

Yummy looking Labor Day meal, sounds like you guys had a fantastic fun and relaxing (and productive!) day! Back to work tomorrow though! 😛
Yum to the macaroni and cheese! It may have less that stellar stats, but everything in moderation, right?
I love trivia…trivia about celebrities is even better! I love my InTouch magazines – LOL! 🙂

I love Trivia! Tonight’s “mom’s night out” with my moms club is trivia and I wish I could go. But its Tuesday which is Sister Night so not all bad. 🙂
Yay for almost being done with invites! What a load off your shoulders that will be.

Vanilla protein shake sounds to die for.
What a guy! Suggests dinner, helps you cook and does wedding stuff! Amazing!
I LOVE Kraft Mac ‘n Cheese so I’m going to have to try this new version! I ate it ALL.THE.TIME when my husband was deployed. Not healthy at all but oh-so-worth-it. 🙂
P.S. Your fish & salad looks good too but the mac ‘n cheese got me all excited.
My husband and I (we’re 27 and 26) watch Jeopardy most nights while we eat dinner and compete against each other. We also enjoy celebrity week and kids week b/c it makes us feel smart!
I haven’t heard of that mac and cheese-must try it soon!
