This Weekend

This past Saturday was the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, and I have to say, there's nothing quite like being part of such a huge event. Normally we're not the biggest fans of waking up before 7 on a weekend, and I was lucky I could even get Branden to come with me. In fact, the only reason he agreed was because I organized our team.

 On the way back to the car we walked through a part of downtown that I rarely get to see. I love finding interesting architecture like the old Salt Lake Stock Exchange (now it's law offices).

Afterwards, Branden and I headed to Rocky Mountain Grill for some great Omelets. If anyone out there is going Primal... I would recommend it. They are great about substitutions.

After months of working on custom team shirts, obtaining e-mail approvals, recruiting team members, and holding networking events I was glad to see it finally come all together...and I must admit, I'm glad that it's pretty much over.

P.S.
On Sunday we headed to my Aunt & Uncle's house for family dinner like we usually do. We had a nice impromptu puppy play-date.

Going Primal

Branden and I have decided to take the jump and "go Primal." That pretty much means that we've agreed to give up all processed carbs (I'm still working on the candy...). So, we've been re-vamping some of our favorite recipes, and it means that I'm putting a bit more thought into our meals now. This week we are having vegetable beef stew (recipe to follow), Chicken Tikka Masala, and Lemon Beef Brisket. Branden figured out that a dessert can be made following the guidelines, and we've also discovered that an old favorite (broccoli salad) is Primal too! I'm not sure if we'll stick to the Primal thing, but for now I'm willing to give it a shot.
