142.2…Fresh Herb Ranch Dip

The final recipe from my son's party last weekend that I want to share with you is Fresh Herb Ranch Dip. I served it with veggies and it was a nice, fresh change from the powdered ranch dip mix that we normally use.

Wednesday we celebrated my son's 9th birthday by taking him and a couple of friends on a hike at Torrey Pines, followed by dinner at PF Chang's, his favorite restaurant. My meal started with a cup of Egg Drop Soup:

Followed by lettuce wraps:

My husband and I shared Dan Dan Noodles:

And I enjoyed the Moo Goo Gai Pan:

Yesterday's breakfast was a Special K Flatbread Breakfast Sandwich with a little ketchup.

I went to the gym for an hour then ran a couple of errands. Lunch was tuna salad, veggies and ranch dressing. 

My sister and law and her kids came over for a bit. Then it was off to my son's basketball practice. Dinner was at Sammy's Woodfired Pizza. My husband and I shared our favorite salad, Original Chopped Chicken.

I had the Tomato Basil Soup as well.

Last night my husband and I finally finished the "Breaking Bad" series. I can't believe I don't have another episode to watch! We really enjoyed it.

Breakfast this morning was scrambled egg beaters, salsa and pepper jack cheese.

I went to Cardio Muscle class, an errand, then home for lunch. Same as yesterday:

Did you watch "Breaking Bad"? What should we watch next?
