Yes, I'm going to be someone who posts pictures of their dinner. Because this rivaled any restaurant and I got the recipe for the main part from my favorite cookbook, Betty Crocker's Cookbook for Women, which is a book that you need if you don't have.
A close up of my masterpiece, tuna steaks with kiwi and avocado salsa with wild rice. I made She-Crab soup as our side.
Dessert from the same cookbook, orange cream with mandarin oranges and granola. What I love about that cookbook is that everything is amazing and it's all pretty healthy.
On Saturday morning, we made mango smoothies (another Betty Crocker recipe) and headed out for the "fun in the sun" segment of our weekend to the US National Whitewater Center in Charlotte. This place was SO much fun. We literally spent the entire day, and could spend 10 more without getting bored. We went on a big zipline, did a ropes obstacle course that was 60 feet above ground, and went whitewater rafting. Our intent was to finish out the day with kayaking on the Catawba River, but we got tired and our arms hurt, so we'll have to go another day. They also have several other ziplines and obstacle courses, a lot of hiking trails, a zipline tour through the canopy, stand-up paddleboarding, etc. To quote someone else, it's like an amusement park for active adults.
