When I mentioned last week that I seemed to always be on Instagram, I may have jinxed myself. Because allergy season has {already} started kicking my butt.
https://www.instagram.com/p/XqZyfrOPOp/What qualifies as a cocktail fail? Because this one tasted good, but didn’t look at all like I envisioned it. Let’s consider it a personal success, because the homemade mint liqueur was yummy in slushy form.
https://www.instagram.com/p/XpN6T0OPPM/Speaking of near-failures, last weekend I scrambled eggs with chorizo and served them with roasted vegetables and fried polenta. It was good, but not great (and the hubby was not a fan.) Not being a give-upper, I used the leftovers to make a casserole…enchillada-style. Success! It turned out super yummy, and the hubby was happy (I credit the added jalapenos and cheese).

Here I threw together some carrots, sugar snap peas, and asparagus in walnut oil and tossed the mix in the oven. Forty minutes later, I topped the blend with feta cheese and diced dates and called it supper. A squeeze of lemon brought the needed acidity to the sweet roasted blend.
Sinus congestion + headaches = less time on Pinterest this week.
- There are so many great plate wall collage ideas, but I think these art plates are the best I’ve seen so far.
- I may be counting the minutes until the Mad Men season premiere. If you need me between now and then, I’m playing with these paper dolls.
- Does it have lace on it? Then there’s a good chance that I will pin it. See my newest favorite lace-embellished t-shirt.
- Spring makes me want carrot cake. Maybe it’s all the bunnies? I’m looking forward to trying this gluten-free and refined sugar-free version.
- Warmer weather means that I will also be craving more raw vegetables. First up, this shaved brussel sprout salad.
Have a great weekend and take your allergy medicine!
