We [and when I say we, I mean my amazing husband] made shrimp scampi with zucchini noodles for dinner one night this week and it was delicious!! I gave him a spiral slicer in his stocking for Christmas but we hadn't used it yet. I was thoroughly impressed with how easy it was to use. You could hardly even tell that they weren't "real" noodles. I added a tiny bit of pesto to my pasta for a little extra flavor and it was sooo yummy [and healthy!]. We will definitely be having this again soon!

Did anyone watch the UNC v. Duke basketball game Wednesday night? I may or may not have shed a few tears. Total heartbreaker. Me and hubs met and both graduated from the amazing University of North Carolina so we share a love of all things tarheel blue. Needless to say, Duke is a 4-letter word in our household. We lost in overtime and I'm pretty sure our neighbors could hear my husband screaming. I still love my heels and all the memories I have in baby blue Heaven.

Confession: The Bachelor is my guilty pleasure. Please tell me I'm not the only one?? This season has been so-so, definitely not one of my favorites. Usually they go to all these amazing locations but the last 2 weeks they have been in Iowa and South Dakota… super non-exciting. I think Whitney is going to be the last one standing. She seems the most "wifey" to me. And I really loved Jade until she sat on the couch with him and proudly showed her nude modeling videos… totally awkward and inappropriate. I was thinking she would be the next Bachelorette until that happened.

I am totally in nail polish withdrawal. I'm not allowed to have my nails painted during this rotation because we could be called in for a C-section at any point, and supposedly nail polish traps bacteria and increases the risk of infection when "scrubbing in" for surgery. [I couldn't have them painted last month for my surgery rotation either… tear]. So, until these bare nails can be painted again, I will continue lusting over these Spring colors:

Mint Candy Apple by Essie

Splash of Grenadine by Essie

Tart Deco by Essie

Are you an Essie or OPI gal?

I am starting a guest-post series on Wednesday all about marriage! Marriage/weddings/engagements/etc. is my favorite thing to read about on other blogs so I thought it would be fun to hear all about the marriages of some of my favorite bloggers! Be sure to check back on Wednesday for the first guest post of the series!

  1. I'm a total reality show junkie, but I have never allowed myself to get in to the Bachelor. However, after the season I was really starting to feel like I was missing out on something! Maybe next season, I totally don't watch enough TV ;) Have a great, weekend!

  5. What a sweet hubby! The dish looks delicious! My husband isn't sold on the whole spiralr concept yet... I am 100% with you on the Bachelorette! I couldn't believe they haven't gone anywhere special or even out of the US yet! I'm definitely rooting for Whittney - she's the best! I'm not a huge fan of Jade or Katelyn especially after Jade's confession last week. Can't wait to see the end!
