You realize it’s been a soothing time once I’m now fortunately having a look ahead to a number of immediately days of labor. (However first, we’ll revel in the remainder of the weekend!)
ON THE BLOGS THIS WEEK: Loaded with our favourite Mexican flavors; this southwest hen soup is somewhat highly spiced with chunks of tomatoes, corn, black beans, and smooth hen. I love to best the steaming bowls of soup with a handful of shredded cheese and all of the circle of relatives provides this dinner two thumbs up. The most efficient section? You’ll make this soup in simply TEN mins!
Mango corn salsa is a candy and highly spiced deal with boasting a lovely crunch of clean corn and gentle jalapeno warmth. Whether or not it’s scooped over grilled hen or served by itself with chips for dipping, it disappears speedy.
Creamy, candy, and tangy poppy seed dressing frivolously coats every chew of this broccoli slaw salad. With crisp contemporary broccoli and carrots, the chew of purple onion, the crunch of pecans, and the candy chewy amusing of dried cranberries, this broccoli salad is an ideal facet dish for nearly any meal.
Bursting with candy and somewhat tart blueberries, this blueberry easy syrup will raise your lemonades, pancakes, and cocktails with the essence of natural summer season goodness.

What I’m CRAVING: Sizzling pretzels! I’ve a relatively ridiculous weak spot for contemporary pretzels. There’s a pretzel store in our village and I hardly ever withstand preventing in when their gentle is on. (Fortunately, the store is best open two days every week!) Within the intervening time, when the native pretzels aren’t to be had, we will make our personal the usage of Rebecca’s superior pretzel recipes.
What I’m WATCHING: Rebel and Allegiant. We completed looking at the Divergent collection whilst my youngest was once on his spring wreck. I hadn’t noticed the closing film sooner than and we loved it. I want they’d completed the collection (and no longer break up the closing e book into 2 separate deliberate motion pictures), however it works out k how it was once accomplished.
What I’m READING: 4 through Veronica Roth. In case you’re partial to the Divergent collection, you’ll know the way amusing it was once to bump into this selection of pre-Divergent tales, all instructed from Tobias’s (a.okay.a. “4’s”) perspective.
