Dog park!!!
We’ve visited other dog parks recently, but haven’t been to our go-to dog park in a while!
After work today, we had to take advantage of the gorgeous weather and took Sadie to our local dog park for an evening full of fetch and rompin’ around with other dogs.
I got quite a kick out of twin weimaraners we saw that were in full-blown huntin’ mode.
A squirrel was mocking them and they were not happy! (Yet another reason I am not a huge fan of squirrels…)
When the sun started setting, we took it as our cue to head home.
Dinner
Since we got a late start on dinner due to the dog park, we opted for a fast meal of ravioli, served with a side of roasted broccoli and cauliflower.
I prepared Monterey Pasta Company spinach ricotta ravioli (our favorite) and roasted the veggies while Ryan unloaded the dishwasher.
I remember a man I used to work with said he and his wife had a deal. He’d make dinner every night and she would do the dishes. Sounds like a sweet deal to me! 😉
Our dinner cooked up quickly and in no time we had a hot meal ready for eatin’.
I missed my ravioli bowls! For a while there Ryan and I were eating ravioli at least once a week. I need the pasta poofs back in my life! 😀
Now I’m off to finish up the dishes and put away some laundry.
Sleep well!

Julie, random question for you! I noticed you did the invisalign treatment – what did you think about that? I have never noticed them in your pics & your teeth look great. I have just always been doubtful about it and feared that they would take over my mouth, be difficult to speak with, etc… Not that my teeth are out of place much, but more a cosmetic thing/straighten out a couple teeth.
i really, really liked it. like you, it was more of a cosmetic thing than a real necessity. they were comfortable and not too painful at all! i talk about them in a little more detail here: https://www.pbfingers.com/2010/07/09/i-got-my-braces-off/
That’s how it worked in my house – one parent cooks, the other washes!
yum!!
That is how Keith and I work…whoever cooks the other one has to clean. Usually I cook during the week because I get home from work first and Keith usally makes up for it and cooks on the weekend and he always does breakfast for us on Sunday mornings! It is one of my favorite traditions! 🙂
Mmm, I love ravioli. I’ll have to try out this spinach ricotta ravioli!
I love ravioli! It is so quick, easy and filling. I pile my ravioli high with veggies or even lay it atop a salad with marinara ‘dressing’. So good!
i adore pasta…we seriously have it once or twice a week! it’s so awesome and super easy to make. i need to hit up the dog park with the puppers soon 🙂
What is it about seeing pasta that always makes your crave it yourself…sigh
That’s how I grew up, my dad cooked and (sometimes) my mom did the dishes. 😉 That was the rule, but somehow my dad still ended up doing them.
But now, my boyfriend and I have that deal. He cooks and I do the dishes. I love it, cause when I get home from the gym in the evenings, dinner is waiting for me on the table!
man yor bowls always look so good! i have not had raviloi in ages!
All your posts previously with them have really made me want some!
I saw some gluten free ones a few days ago! Im off to buy them on Saturday when i go there!
Mmmmm, lovin’ those pasta poofs!
But I think I love that name more. 😉
I haaaaaaaaaate emptying the dishwasher.
me too. it’s the WORST!
I like Saides “Diaper Bag!” Very cute! 😉 Ever since I started running long distance, pasta has become my best friend! It treats me so good!
Ahh did your dog park end up winning the renovation!?? I voted for it:)
no. 🙁 i voted too – like a billion times!
Love your backpack.
I would like to come for dinner at your house please!!!!
Delicious meals!!!!
Ravioli will always be one of my favorite foods! It’s so delicious. 🙂
Gosh, I have not had ravioli in so long. I need to go get some.
Stuffed ravioli really is a great dinner… I often pick up the stuff at Trader Joe’s- even thought I’d like to attempt making my own at some point!
I had ravioli for dinner too! I seem to only like stuffed pastas and ravioli is definitely a great pasta! 😉
MMMM love me some carby dinner dishes. Stuffed ravioli is so comforting.
I can’t remember the last time I had ravioli. I’m way overdue.
I love that you call them ‘poofs’ 🙂 they look so yummy, I’ve got to try these Monterey poofs!
cute little backpack! what do you carry in it? is it just a replacement for a purse? is it vera bradley?
thanks, lisa! yep, it’s vera bradley & i just use it as a purse at the dog park – i have my camera, phone & sadie’s leash in it. 🙂 i
Ravioli (and tortellini too) are my favorite. I love trying all of the different combos out there!
looks delicious!
