a {winning} new england weekend.

It's Monday again {can you believe it?!}, which means I'm linking up with Ashley at
a {little} dash of ash for her Instagram Mondays :) Most of my photos from this weekend
involve two of my favorite things: tasty food and fun destinations! 


Last week, I finally made the cake batter bark I'd been dying to try since I saw it on pinterest! Not only did it turn out wonderfully, it was a fantastic addition to the late night fare for the girls night I had with my fellow {v}s up in New Hampshire on Friday. The heavenly looking grape tomatoes were in a pasta dish which was perfect for a big group of Italian girls! As for the garlic and lemon, {cv} and I made our favorite {and simple} tilapia dish on Sunday night, complete with these two tasty elements. I don't think fish looks that great in photographs, so I figured I should just snap a photo of the ingredients ;) 


I spent a few hours on the road this weekend--mostly on the trip to and from New Hampshire for girls night. It reminded me of the weekends I would drive to see {cv} in North Carolina. Despite some rain on Friday, I was able to spy some beautiful leaves {which I couldn't snap easily while driving--obviously!}. After a fun night with the fam in New Hampshire on Friday, my lovely cousin {kv} and I headed for a yummy brunch and a little shopping in Portsmouth. I drove back down to Rhode Island on Saturday afternoon to join {cv} for dinner and drinks in Bristol, a charming little town which may be our future home in the Ocean State. From there, we headed to see one of {cv}'s favorite bands from his high school days at The Spot Underground in Providence. It was our first visit to that intimate venue and we'll definitely be back. Sunday consisted of church and football--and catching up on life, which was just what the doctor ordered.
