Welcome to the weekend, my buddies! We’ve had a fantastic week with household visiting, driving out to observe the eclipse in totality (so many ideas right here, however WOW sums it up), celebrating my niece’s birthday, taking part in video games, and cooking a lot meals. it’s been a calming time once I’m now fortunately trying ahead to a number of straight days of labor. (However first, we’ll get pleasure from the remainder of the weekend!)
ON THE BLOGS THIS WEEK: Loaded with our favourite Mexican flavors; this southwest chicken soup is barely spicy with chunks of tomatoes, corn, black beans, and tender rooster. I wish to prime the steaming bowls of soup with a handful of shredded cheese and your complete household offers this dinner two thumbs up. One of the best half? You can also make this soup in simply TEN minutes!
Mango corn salsa is a candy and spicy deal with boasting a satisfying crunch of recent corn and delicate jalapeno warmth. Whether or not it’s scooped over grilled rooster or served by itself with chips for dipping, it disappears quick.
Creamy, candy, and tangy poppy seed dressing evenly coats every chunk of this broccoli slaw salad. With crisp recent broccoli and carrots, the chunk of pink onion, the crunch of pecans, and the candy chewy enjoyable of dried cranberries, this broccoli salad is a terrific facet dish for nearly any meal.
Bursting with candy and barely tart blueberries, this blueberry simple syrup will elevate your lemonades, pancakes, and cocktails with the essence of pure summer time goodness.
Oh, my buddies, these blueberry lemon bars turned out much more wonderful than I hoped! With candy bursting blueberries in each chunk of the tangy lemon bars, they proved irresistible for me.
These buttery, not-too-sweet glazed lemon cookies have a gentle lemon taste and a sweetly tart lemon glaze. They’ve been a success with everybody who tries one.
As a lot as all of us love a very good old school banana break up ice cream sundae, I’m right here to inform you that banana split ice cream is an entire new world of do-it-yourself ice cream.
What I’m CRAVING: Sizzling pretzels! I’ve a considerably ridiculous weak spot for recent pretzels. There’s a pretzel store in our village and I not often resist stopping in when their gentle is on. (Fortunately, the store is simply open two days per week!) Within the meantime, when the native pretzels aren’t out there, we will make our personal utilizing Rebecca’s awesome pretzel recipes.
What I’m WATCHING: Insurgent and Allegiant. We completed watching the Divergent sequence whereas my youngest was on his spring break. I hadn’t seen the final film earlier than and we loved it. I want they’d completed the sequence (and never break up the final e book into 2 separate deliberate films), but it surely works out okay the way in which it was achieved.
What I’m READING: Four by Veronica Roth. In the event you’re a fan of the Divergent sequence, you’ll perceive how enjoyable it was to come upon this assortment of pre-Divergent tales, all informed from Tobias’s (a.ok.a. “4’s”) standpoint.
“You shall love the Lord your God with all of your coronary heart and with all of your soul and with all of your thoughts. That is the good and first commandment. And a second is prefer it: You shall love your neighbor as your self.” Matthew 22:37-39 ESV
