I think I will do this weekly, and it’s going to get me back to blogging. The Best of Blogs will be a post with links and tidbits of things I have found through the week, along with what recipes we ate at home that week (because I don’t just serve banana bread and cookie pie for all of our meals).
Some of these people are friends, and others I wish were friends. I will likely write about each one like I know them. There are so many things I see each week that I would love to do or recreate or experience, but there’s never enough time, so if I share them with you, perhaps you’ll find one that suits your day. Some are food-related, some are not!
Our Food:
- {Monday} Chicken Fettucini Alfredo (very not-homemade with a jar of Classico Sauce), iceberg wedge salad, and bread
- {Tuesday} Chicken BLT Sandwiches on Hawaiian rolls, Steamed cauliflower, and pineapple.
- {Wednesday} Lettuce Wraps (recipe coming soon)
- {Thursday} Chicken BLTs again (whoops), more pineapple, and more wedge salads
- {Friday} Out: Central Market – salads on the deck
Other People’s Food:
- Rebecca Crump at Ezra Pound Cake made “First Electricity Bill of the Summer Sangria.” My summer will not end without making this. It looks fantastic! Full of summer fruits and flavors.
- The Snickers Caramel Cheesecake Cookies at Picky Palate look like a treat. She turned the standard candy bar into a cheesecake and a cookie at once. Not everyone can do that.
- You likely either love kombucha, or hate it, but if you haven’t tried it you should, so that you know which camp you’re in. If you love it, you can make it yourself thanks to Food Renegade. Instead of $3.50/bottle, you’ll pay something like $.10 and that is a big price difference.
- Stephanie had a good post this week on 10 Things to Do With Basil, if your basil plant is out of control like mine is. She also writes a blog for Greenling!
Things That Aren’t Food:
- I am learning to sew (meaning, last weekend I sewed two pieces of fabric together under the supervision of someone who can sew on a machine that was already threaded and ready to go…I have a lot of progress to make), and I want to make one of these…someday
- Someday our little girl will need a bed – look how cute and resourceful this one is!
- I sprayed my nice, Seventh Generation All-Purpose Cleaner bottle dry, and used this recipe to fill it back up for pennies!
Thank you for the disinfectant spray recipe…I too, have spritzed my way to a dry bottle (which you made for me). Can I get Castille Soap at Walmart??
Are pineapples on sale again at Sprouts?
I like the new background and the weekly update!
