Does anyone else feel like this week completely DRAGGED? Even though it was a “short week.”
I still can’t believe it was Memorial Day on Monday & that we are now entering the summer season. Like what? April felt like a year & now we are swinging into June next week- WTF!
Any who- this week we cooked some meals that have become staples in our weekly rotation- sauce & meatballs, my Orzo Feta salad, Feta & Spinach Chicken Burgers and steak on the grill! I promise next week I’ll be back with some new recipes, but I just needed a bit of a break this week! Plus next week is our grocery shopping week so I’ll load up on new ingredients!
Oh and I made some chocolate chip banana bread– because duhhh it’s a quarantine ritual now!
NEW TV SHOWS
Nothing super new (haven’t started Sweet Magnolias yet) BUT HBO Max came out this week. I guess it’s a new & improved version of HBO. AND they have all seasons of Friends available to stream! Anyone else missing that show since they removed it from Netflix? Full transparency, I subscribed to HBO Max because they are airing a Friends Reunion show! The special was supposed to be filmed in March, but Covid 19 fucked that up. Supposedly it will be filmed at the end of this summer- I cannot wait!
NEW BOOKS
I just finished Feels Like Falling– soooo cute. The perfect summer beach read. I’ll share more details about this book in next week’s post, but if you’re looking for a feel good easy beach read- grab your copy now.
KITCHEN GADGETS
Another new Pampered Chef item that I’m loving- the manual food processor. I HATE chopping veggies, especially onions so this chopper is a lifesaver. I don’t have a regular food processor & definitely don’t need another clunky kitchen appliance taking up counter space, so this little chopper is great. It stores nicely in my cabinets, doesn’t take up much room & you even get a bit of an arm workout in when using it!
DENIM SHORTS
I have a love/hate relationship with shorts. Especially denim ones aka jorts. I’ve loved this pair for the past year but wanted one more pair of distressed shorts for this summer. I found these & hoping they fit when they come in! Fingers crossed.
YETI MUG
I bought my Yeti mug at the beginning of quarantine & am SO happy I did. I use it every morning & at night for my golden milk lattes. It keeps my coffee super hot (there’s nothing worse than cold coffee) & the bright color just makes me happy. And it looks cute on my desk. Definitely investing in the tumbler next!
Yay! Thank you so much for reading Feels Like Falling. I’m so happy you enjoyed it! I am so excited about Sweet Magnolia too–and I”m trying your Banana Bread recipe today! I have a few bananas that are on their last leg… You look amazing without makeup. I would never wear it if I were you!! Thank you again. xoxo Kristy
Omg thank you Kristy!! I seriously loved your book & cannot wait for what’s next from you. Hope the banana bread was good- it’s one of my favs. You are the sweetest, thanks again for commenting!
