Hi y’all! We have had a crazy couple of weeks. I’m finally getting caught up, and hopefully I won’t have any more long posting absences soon. Today, I’m linking up here and here for Friday Five!
1. M’s Office
M moved into a new office at worked and asked me to help him decorate it. I was thrilled! We spent last weekend putting everything together, and I had so much fun working with him.
2. Colonel Littleton Folio
My dad helped me pick out this Colonel Littleton folio as a gift for M. After seeing it in person, I’m a little jealous. I think a road trip to Lynnville, TN and the Co. Littleton store might be in our future.
3. Because, Target
Mama’s theory is that the time change is what has Charlie so exhausted. Apparently, this sweet girl had a very rough case of the Mondays.
5. #lym52recipes fails
These are new recipes I’ve tried that we just weren’t thrilled with. They weren’t necessarily horrible, but they weren’t our favorites.
- Brunswick Stew – The leftover pulled pork I used was too spicy to begin with, and I didn’t like the bbq sauce I put in the stew. I’ll probably try this again at some point.
- Skillet Baked Ziti – I had my hopes set very high for this recipe because the photo in the cookbook looked incredible. It was way too tomatoe-y for our tastes. I may try it again with a jar of marinara sauce instead.
- Slow cooker Angel Chicken – The chicken was dry, and the sauce was salty. Again, I may try to modify it in the future.
- Lemon Blueberry Muffins – These were decent, but I used Meyer lemons for the first time. I didn’t love the flavor, which I’m pretty sure makes me a weirdo.
As of writing this, I’ve tried 18 new recipes this year, and I’m still loving this goal! Stay tuned Monday for the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I’ve ever made.
Have a great weekend :)
