Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay

Hello!

'Twas a wonderful weekend in Baltimore...Haven't been down there in a long time. We were actually in Essex, which is about 30 minutes outside of the city. J.J's Uncle lives in probably the most beautiful house I have ever seen, right on the bay.  These wonderful people provided a feast that could have fed a third world county, including some delicious appetizers, a ton of clams, a few bushels of crabs, and some delicious, delicious desserts. I think this may have been my first time eating crabs (I know I've eaten king crab legs before, but not the whole she-bang). They are a LOT of work. I think I ate three before I gave up and threw in the towel in lieu of eating more baked beans. Here are some pics!

Throwing those crabs in!

I kinda picked at stuff while I waited for the main seafood event...a greenbean type salad, THE MOST DELICIOUS BAKED BEANS I HAVE EVER HAD (don't worry, I'm getting the recipe), and some type of couscous grain...very yummy. 

Crabs are delicious but a little bit too much work for my taste! Maybe if I had a personal assistant to do it for me!

Sadly, I did not get any pictures of the desserts, but there was a lot of really awesome stuff...That awesome willpower that I was talking about (yeah, right) got the best of me and I may have overindulged on the sweets just a tad. It's not everyday I see a no-bake cookie, so I accept my moment of weakness and move on with my life.

Sunday was kind of an eat on the run day, we went to the Baltimore Zoo before making the 4 hour trek home. J.J and I were both ready for a snack by the time we got back to Scranton, soooo I made my famous nachos (the recipe will go under the Recipe tab). We like to call these my "healthy" nachos. I got a new cheese sauce for J.J's birthday food basket, and for looking like legit terrible-for-you cheeze wiz, this stuff only had 30 calories per serving and was nice and zesty. Oh yeah, and fat free. Can be found at Super Walmarts. Highly recommended.

All ya need is Baked Tostitos, Some type of healthy cheese, and some salsa....Other add ons as you see fit!

Alrighty, school is back in session this week and I am BEAT already! Until next time!
