Saturday Fun in Reston Town Center

Recently, my husband and I  relocated to Reston, Virginia for his job. At the moment we are staying in temporary housing in Reston Town Center, which is like another mini city in Reston. The great thing about the Reston Town center is all the fun things you can do in such a small area.  This past Saturday we went to dinner at Clydes, while listening to a Jazz Funk infused concert, only inches away. We also stopped by Teavana and my husband an unexpected buy, he bought a glass tea kettle and glass tea infuser with three bags of tea, GRAND TOTAL $99, total impulse buy.

Georgetown Date Night

We decided to spend our Friday night in Georgetown. I LOVE Georgetown! It is fun, retro and full of history. We walked around in a daze from a lack of food, so all we could think of was finding a restaurant. We found a great italian restaurant called il Canale. They are known for their pizza so we made sure to order their specialty. We ordered a red and white pizza, but I preferred the red sauced pizza. It was a great meal and I can’t wait to venture off more into Georgetown and find more restaurants to fall in love with.

 

Chicken Nuggets Deliciousness

Decided to bring back some childhood memories and make homemade chicken fingers and sweet potato fries (recipie from the fabulous SkinnyTaste) . All in all it came out fabulous, they were tasty, healthy and juicy!!!! I was so scared they would dry out, but they ended up being plump and juicy! YUMM!

What’s you favorite childhood food?
