Simple, delicious recipes
I feel like Easter snuck right up on me. Didn’t we just finish up with all those Valentine chocolates? Now everything heart shaped will be egg shaped. Those chocolate peanut butter cups for instance. Always available in the latest holiday theme. And yes, I buy one every time….
I’m off this weekend on a solo trip. I’ll be at a styling and photography workshop where I’ll be cooking, eating and photographing for two whole days. I don’t actually like the thought of leaving my house on Friday nights. We have a perfect little routine where we grab pizza, rent a movie and relax in our comfiest pj’s. This time I’ll be flying in quite late, settling into my hotel and not sleeping well. The first night at a hotel is the worst for me! Do you also hear weird noises all night and clock watch hourly so you don’t sleep in? Better set both cell phone and iPod wake up alarms while I’m at it. Paranoid!
After a week of making dinners I’m ready to search out some good restaurants in the area. This is always one of the highlights of my trip! I noticed there’s a breakfast buffet at my hotel every morning. Definitely a good start to the day….
I don’t know if it’s the extra sunshine or the fact that I have 50% less school lunches to make this month (hello Spring break!) but I definitely feel my over all mood improving. Usually by mid week I’m about ready to throw in the towel and hit a drive-thru but I’m still going strong with the meals planned for the week.
Tonight I made pan roasted honey garlic chicken for dinner. It’s super moist, made the house smell amazing and it’s easy enough for weeknights….
Grilled marinated artichoke heart, salami and provolone sandwich aka best sandwich ever! My husband and I have been eating this sandwich for years. I can’t believe I haven’t shared it before this. I snapped some quick photos this weekend before they disappeared….
