Welcome to the weekend, my associates! We spent most of final week driving to Arizona and again for our annual household tenting journey within the White Mountains. It’s a heck of a drive now that we reside in Ohio, however we love the household time. After 56+ hours sitting within the automotive for the drive, I’ve been on my ft and shifting as a lot as I can this week.
And talking of being on my ft, there are some nice new recipes on the way in which to all of the websites. (Have I discussed recently how a lot I really like this job?!)
ON THE BLOGS THIS WEEK: Juicy recent peaches are matched up with spicy jalapenos, aromatic purple onions, recent cilantro, and zesty lime on this totally irresistible peach salsa. I assure you’ll be able to’t cease at one chunk of this stunning dip!
California spaghetti salad is a assured hit for the summer time vegetable lover in your life! This amped up pasta salad is exploding with peak-freshness produce and an irresistible Parmesan dressing.
Coleslaw will get an thrilling improve on this pineapple coleslaw. Crunchy cabbage and sliced almonds are paired with candy and aromatic pineapple tidbits, tremendous recent inexperienced onions and cilantro in a tangy however mild and creamy dressing.
This peach cobbler is made as easy as can be with canned peaches and it’s precisely what I bear in mind my grandmother making after I was little. The topping is somewhat bit cakey, and buttery candy, and the peaches fall via because it bakes and create juicy pockets of fruit in every chunk.
Almond glazed, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth cookies are the proper afternoon deal with with a scorching cup of espresso or tea. Hold a stash of those readily available for a candy accompaniment to a cuppa no matter you like greatest.
Filled with tender apples, fantastically citrusy rhubarb, and topped with a traditional brown sugar oat crisp topping, this apple rhubarb crisp blends seasons collectively in candy tart concord. It’s totally different and it’s pleasant.
Deep, darkish, and indulgent, chocolate chocolate chip ice cream is unapologetically further chocolatey. Not one, not two, however three sorts of chocolate make their method into this wealthy and creamy chocolate lover’s dream of an ice cream.
What I’m CRAVING: The most important, greenest, crunchiest salads potential! After a variety of journey, with extra on the horizon, I’ve fortunately made and eaten as many salads as potential. I’ve this one on my radar to make quickly! (Crispy white beans?? I’d by no means even heard of that earlier than and now I can’t wait to attempt them.)
What I’m READING: Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis. (That is the primary e-book in his area trilogy.) I’m so glad I lastly picked this one as much as learn once more! I attempted studying it years in the past and couldn’t get into the primary e-book, however this time, I may hardly put it down. The e-book builds slowly, it isn’t a continuous thrill trip. Nonetheless, this is a superb learn nonetheless.
I’ve challenged myself to learn extra classics and non-fiction and this one was a superb approach to start. I’ve already added the second and third books of the trilogy to my Kindle. (That is regardless of the actual fact I’ve owned arduous copies of this trilogy for years and nonetheless by no means learn them! I merely learn extra books when they’re on my Kindle.)
What I’m LISTENING to: The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred, the Vampire Accountant by Drew Hayes. This audiobook was really helpful to me and it was an amusing distraction. It’s a light-weight examine a vampire who is just not the standard vampire. It’s a completely totally different twist on the horror style and I didn’t discover it even a bit horrifying.
The writing is within the first particular person and works nicely for the near-monotone voice of the primary character. The narrator did a incredible job with the totally different characters, and it balanced out properly. General, this will likely not have been the perfect audiobook I’ve ever listened to, however it was enjoyable – and free from my library, which is at all times a plus. I’m testing the subsequent e-book within the collection now.
“But when any of you lacks knowledge, let him ask of God, who offers to all generously and with out reproach, and it is going to be given to him.” James 1:5 NASB
Wishing you a stunning week stuffed with little issues that make you smile!
