I do my best to eat fun meals throughout the week, but nothing beats weekend food. Going out to eat, ordering take-out with friends, stopping at random donut shops or happy hours…isn’t that just the best?
So here are the best things I ate this weekend, along with some inspiring quotes I came across that I like to keep in my phone as constant reminders/affirmations. It was a great weekend spent with friends, and even though it seems like it jumped straight from summer to winter, I took a few walks throughout the city and took in the beautiful cold air. Chicago goes all out with Halloween decorations and I love it! I’m a big holiday person…if I could always be celebrating something, I would be happy. That must be why I like fall so much…always a new holiday coming up. I even saw some Christmas displays! Too soon?
Today’s the day I get into full-on Halloween mode! I’ll be painting my pumpkin today as well as coming up with some treats to make to celebrate the holiday. Here are some ideas I got from good ol’ Pinterest:
So many options–we’ll see what I actually get around to making 😉
Question:
- Do you get really into holidays? Which one is your favorite?
i had a big lunch 
All that food looks so delicious! Now I’m hungry 🙂 I don’t get into holidays that much. I’m just not motivated enough to decorate, haha. I love Christmas though!
I love all of the pics with you and your friends! Looks like you’ve been having some really fun times!
My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, followed closely by Christmas! Can’t believe they are both so soon!
I LOVE HALLOWEEN!! SO sososo much! I am so excited I need to start baking some Halloween treats!
I’m a huge halloween lover!! In Canada because Thanksgiving is before halloween, the day after halloween everything becomes about Christmas. While I love christmas, I don’t need to be reminded of it for 2 whole months! I love weekend eats 🙂
Loving all the halloween pic’s!
In the UK, halloween isn’t really that major a holiday and we dont have Thanksgiving. So our next major holiday is Christmas and the shops are already stocking up with cards, gifts and other goodies!
I will be carving a pumpkin this weekend though – it’s so much fun and having one of them looking out from our window, lit up, in the city, will look fab (and spooky!).
