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 making an attempt to get exterior, even when it’s only for a brief stroll, every single day.
Now we have chilly wet days on the best way subsequent week and I’m wanting ahead to them. I really 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 beneath 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 straightforward dinner win on this easy skillet meal.
Strawberries Romanoff is nearly probably the most scrumptious factor I’ve made currently. My buddy Lynne was right here a couple of weeks in the past once I made this to {photograph} it and we might have eaten the total recipe on our personal. I in all probability 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, however it actually is that good!) I began with only a chunk of broccoli after which a mushroom. However then, effectively, I wanted to style the rice too, proper?
Have you ever tasted a Flourless Chocolate Cake? In that case, you’ll probably always remember that first chunk. Unassuming in look and virtually ridiculously straightforward to make, this cake is a unbelievable decadent deal with. Additionally, if there’s one factor you could know the right way to make from scratch, I vote that you understand how to make whipped cream. Think about it a life talent.
Lemon Ice Cream is creamy wealthy ice cream with an surprising and fully recent brightness from the lemon. In the event you nonetheless aren’t satisfied that you could do that, my oldest son selected this ice cream over chocolate ice cream two nights in a row and he’s declared it to be the most effective ice lotions we’ve ever made.
What I’m CRAVING: It’s virtually embarrassing how typically we purchase frozen rooster taquitos from Costco. (In the event you haven’t tried them, they’re made with flour tortillas and so they’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 pondering it’s time to make them myself. They appear about as straightforward as may be and the variations may very well be countless.
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 couple of months in the past and have shared it with you in numerous recipes already. I discovered this beautiful purple one by Lodge this previous week. The Amazon one is just a little wider, whereas the Lodge one is a tiny bit deeper and feels just a little heavier.
I can’t say that I’ve a choice between them proper now, I actually like them each. I’ll hold you posted as I proceed to make use of them although. In the event you favor to purchase American-made merchandise, I believe the Lodge skillet is effectively well worth the barely increased worth.
What I’m READING: The Girl They Left Behind by Roxanne Veletzos. This ebook is the impossible-but-true life story of the creator’s mom. Harking back to Sophie’s Selection, the kid’s Jewish dad and mom had been compelled to go away her on the doorstep of an house constructing in Bucharest in 1941, hoping to guard her from the approaching battle.
They left her with a observe that learn, “In anguish and despair we launch this youngster into the fingers of God, with the hope and religion that she could also be saved.” That youngster, the creator’s mom, is delivered to an orphanage and is finally adopted by a Christian household.
If I’m being trustworthy, this ebook drags a superb bit at instances and I turned so irritated with the principle character at one level I almost stopped studying the ebook. Regardless of the actual fact I set the ebook 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’s not proud. It doesn’t dishonor others, it’s not self-seeking, it’s not simply angered, it retains no file of wrongs. Love doesn’t enjoyment of evil however rejoices with the reality. It all the time protects, all the time trusts, all the time hopes, all the time perseveres. Love by no means fails. However the place there are prophecies, they are going to stop; the place there are tongues, they are going to be stilled; the place there’s information, it can cross away.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NIV
