Welcome to the weekend, my pals! I’m a wee bit climate obsessed proper now. I can’t get sufficient of the nice and cozy sunshine this week. I’ve been attempting to get outdoors, even when it’s only for a brief stroll, every single day.
We’ve chilly wet days on the way in which subsequent week and I’m trying ahead to them. I like cozy sweater days and I don’t assume we’re going to have many extra of them this spring.
ON THE BLOGS this week: These easy, skillet-fried pork chops with balsamic and dijon are an superior weeknight meal that comes collectively in underneath 20 minutes. I serve them with Rosemary Roasted Potatoes and Oven Roasted Asparagus and there’s hardly a chunk left over on the finish of the meal.
Zucchini, mushrooms, and sausage are tossed with penne in a spicy sauce for a simple dinner win on this easy skillet meal.
Strawberries Romanoff is nearly probably the most scrumptious factor I’ve made these days. My buddy Lynne was right here a number of weeks in the past after I made this to {photograph} it and we could have eaten the total recipe on our personal. I most likely shouldn’t admit this stuff, however yeah, we did that.
Holy, jaw-drop-level, virtually unbelievably scrumptious recipe. I stood on the range just about inhaling this Broccoli Mushroom Casserole after the primary style. (Yeah, I see what I simply wrote, nevertheless it actually is that good!) I began with only a chunk of broccoli after which a mushroom. However then, nicely, I wanted to style the rice too, proper?
Have you ever tasted a Flourless Chocolate Cake? If that’s the case, you’ll seemingly always remember that first chunk. Unassuming in look and virtually ridiculously simple to make, this cake is a unbelievable decadent deal with. Additionally, if there’s one factor it is advisable to know make from scratch, I vote that you recognize how to make whipped cream. Take into account it a life talent.
Lemon Ice Cream is creamy wealthy ice cream with an surprising and fully recent brightness from the lemon. Should you nonetheless aren’t satisfied that it is advisable to do this, my oldest son selected this ice cream over chocolate ice cream two nights in a row and he’s declared it to be among the finest ice lotions we’ve ever made.
What I’m CRAVING: It’s virtually embarrassing how typically we purchase frozen hen taquitos from Costco. (Should you haven’t tried them, they’re made with flour tortillas they usually’re actually extra like flautas.) Anyhow, I’m simply saying, my household actually likes them. This recipe for chicken flautas caught my eye this week and I’m considering it’s time to make them myself. They give the impression of being about as simple as may be and the variations might be limitless.
My FAVORITE THING this week is that this red enameled covered casserole skillet. I’m obsessive about these enamel skillets. I purchased this one a number of months in the past and have shared it with you in numerous recipes already. I discovered this beautiful pink one by Lodge this previous week. The Amazon one is slightly wider, whereas the Lodge one is a tiny bit deeper and feels slightly heavier.
I can’t say that I’ve a choice between them proper now, I actually like them each. I’ll preserve you posted as I proceed to make use of them although. Should you favor to purchase American-made merchandise, I feel the Lodge skillet is nicely well worth the barely greater worth.
What I’m READING: The Girl They Left Behind by Roxanne Veletzos. This e book is the impossible-but-true life story of the creator’s mom. Paying homage to Sophie’s Selection, the kid’s Jewish mother and father had been pressured to go away her on the doorstep of an condominium constructing in Bucharest in 1941, hoping to guard her from the approaching conflict.
They left her with a word that learn, “In anguish and despair we launch this baby into the fingers of God, with the hope and religion that she could also be saved.” That baby, the creator’s mom, is delivered to an orphanage and is finally adopted by a Christian household.
If I’m being sincere, this e book drags bit at instances and I turned so aggravated with the primary character at one level I practically stopped studying the e book. Regardless of the very fact I set the e book down a number of instances, I’m glad I completed it, because the ending was each surprising and beautiful. It’s a strong four-star learn for me and I do advocate it.
“Love is affected person, love is variety. It doesn’t envy, it doesn’t boast, it isn’t proud. It doesn’t dishonor others, it isn’t self-seeking, it isn’t simply angered, it retains no report of wrongs. Love doesn’t enjoyment of evil however rejoices with the reality. It at all times protects, at all times trusts, at all times hopes, at all times perseveres. Love by no means fails. However the place there are prophecies, they’ll stop; the place there are tongues, they are going to be stilled; the place there’s information, it is going to cross away.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NIV
Wishing you a stunning week filled with little issues that make you smile!
