Welcome to the weekend, my mates! Our youngsters are again in class or beginning new jobs, and we’re having fun with the beginning of fall right here in Ohio. We’ve had some gloriously cool mornings right here and I’m attempting to get out and stroll as a lot as attainable lately.
ON THE BLOGS THIS WEEK: I’ve been again within the kitchen this week, cooking and baking some nice new recipes to share. The time without work was nice, and I’m excited to get again to work. Is anybody else prepared for some fall consolation meals?
Within the meantime, let’s put collectively a meal plan for this week with some Beer and Garlic Grilled Rooster, Creamy Stovetop Mac and Cheese, and this Watermelon Fruit Salad.
For my salad cravings, this BLT Chopped Salad and the Italian Grinder Salad must occur quickly.
Ramen Egg Roll in a Bowl is an irresistible skillet of deconstructed egg rolls tossed with ramen noodles and I’m telling you now that you’re going to find it irresistible.
Considered one of my boys requested enchiladas this week, so these tacky inexperienced chile rooster and black bean enchiladas are additionally on the meal plan. It’s a assured two thumbs up from my crowd.
Buttery, garlicky shrimp with loads of shiny lemon is one thing I can by no means get sufficient of. I’ve a tough time resisting consuming these Garlic Butter Shrimp straight out of the pan every time I prepare dinner them.
I’ve been craving these Cosmic Brownies, so I’ll be making a batch this weekend. (On the pretense of stocking them within the freezer for the children, ha.)
And I’m considering it’s time to make this Blackberry Coconut Crisp once more, together with a batch of ice cream to scoop over every serving.
My FAVORITE THING this week are these cropped leggings. I’ve been carrying them for a number of years now, and simply purchased a few new pairs. They maintain up nicely and I nearly stay in them each for train and for work days within the kitchen by means of the autumn and winter.
What I’m READING: A Very Typical Household by Sierra Godfrey. This wasn’t actually a feel-good e-book for me. It was extra of an ups-and-downs curler coaster, a little bit too life like for me at occasions. I discovered it each miserable and uplifting at completely different occasions. It was really useful to me, and I seemingly wouldn’t have picked it up by myself. Whereas the e-book wasn’t fairly what I anticipated, I wished to know the way it will finish and I’m glad I completed it.
What I’m WATCHING: All the time Be My Possibly. I simply rewatched this film and cracked up laughing yet again. It’s such a terrific feel-good flick and I give it two thumbs up.
