inspiration day: memorial

happy memorial day! i hope you are all having an extra fabulous long weekend. i realize that some people may not link up today because of the holiday, but feel free to join in later in the week! in the meantime, make a cocktail, fire up the grill, and let's all celebrate those who have made our country what it is today.

today's inspiration is perfect for this odd minnesota weather. it can't seem to make up its mind. it's sunny and warm, then it rains and it's cool. however, we have been able to sit on the patio and watch the kids play on the swing set, and then sit on the patio (with a fire going), and share some great laughs with friends later in the evening. so i am not complaining. i do love that we can wear sundresses, and just carry around a cute coat just in case. so, without further adieu, here is today's inspiration.

 the beautiful emma stone. have you guys seen easy a? it's super cute...i especially love stanley tucci and patricia clarkson as the parents. i want to be cool like them! anyways, this outfit is super cute and easy (pun intended) and versatile enough to wear anywhere.

it's not delivery

last night i made a quick, easy and delicious dinner. it was so nummy i wanted to share. it all started because i was lazy and didn't want to cook (go figure). mimi has been sick all weekend and has not been sleeping well. and so, of course, neither have i.

poor little bugger

so i was tired and lazy and told jim i was going to order in. there is this great little italian place in our neighborhood called fat lorenzo's (if you are ever in the neighborhood, check it out. yummy!), and they have a most delicious veggie hoagie that i was craving. and they deliver. bonus for the lazy mom! but since jim has been travelling for work lately and eating out a lot, we decided instead to make our own fat lorenzo's style hoagies. and even though i was tired and lazy it was super easy!

here's what you'll need:

spinach, tomatoes, green peppers, onion, mushrooms, feta, hoagie rolls, and marinara. also a bit of olive oil and some salt and pepper. easy peezy. this is what we used (we pretty much copied fat lorenzo's exactly). you can obviously use any kind of veggies and cheese you like!

and here's what you do:

saute the onions and peppers in some olive oil...

once those are tender, add the 'shrooms...

then the spinach...and once that is all cooked throw a bit of salt and pepper in...

slice your rolls and toast them in the oven...

while everything is cooking and toasting, slice the tomatoes and feta...

load everything onto your toasted rolls and cook a bit longer so the cheese gets melty and the tomatoes cook a bit...

serve 'em up with some marinara...

done and done.

so easy and so good. i ate my whole sandwich and was so very full. jim ate two! which, if you know jim, is not surprising...

i hope you are all having a great memorial day weekend. i am really enjoying it so far, except for the sick little girl. but we are feeling much healthier and happier today. now it's time for a family nap! see you later!

xoxo, nora bird
