Welcome to the weekend, my mates! I’m planning to get out for a stroll, learn my guide, cook dinner and {photograph} some new dishes, and work on a puzzle with my boys. Nothing too thrilling for anybody else, however it all sounds beautiful to me proper now. I hope that your weekend is full of a lot of your favourite issues too!

Blueberry peach cobbler bursts with juicy, recent peaches and the candy pop of blueberries underneath a young, golden brown cobbler crust. This homey, comforting dessert takes no time to whip up and tastes like pure summer time.
Good luck resisting snickers ice cream: peanut butter ice cream swirled with luscious caramel sauce, and bursting with items of snickers bars. Generally you simply have to indulge your self!
Mock apple pie started as a thrifty solution to make a candy deal with from pantry staples within the late 1800s. I served this pie to my husband a number of nights in the past and he liked it. The look on his face was priceless after I later instructed him there was no fruit in it. The flavour is harking back to a mix of pecan pie and apple pie and the entire household agrees it’s scrumptious.
What I’m CRAVING: My good friend Christi’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies. These cookies are a few of the finest I’ve ever tasted. I’ve talked about them right here earlier than, however it bears repeating as a result of they’re FANTASTIC. (I’m pretty sure that these cookies performed an element in how rapidly Christi’s husband Rick fell in love along with her.)
My FAVORITE THINGS this week are these reusable grocery luggage. I chanced on this 10-pack of baggage the opposite day and I’ve to inform you, I wasn’t anticipating a lot. But it surely seems they’re nice! They’re larger than I assumed they’d be they usually maintain a LOT. I prefer to hold a number of tote luggage in my automobile for random issues I’m transporting, not simply groceries. (i.e. a cease on the used bookstore that ends in an armload of books or for storage sale finds.)
I like that the baggage can be found in stable black (versus so many brilliant colours and patterns) and that the straps are lengthy sufficient to hold the bag in your shoulder. And at about $2 a bag, this was a screaming deal.
What I’m READING: Paper and Hearth (The Nice Library Ebook 2) by Rachel Caine. These YA books have a draw that I can’t resist. The concept that there could be a world the place books and their contents are topic to the next authority stopping entry to their info is nightmarish for any bibliophile or guide lover. Whereas this wasn’t my favourite guide within the collection, it ended with an important cliffhanger that drew me straight into the third guide as rapidly as I used to be in a position to obtain it.
What I’m LISTENING to: Treasured Reminiscences by Alan Jackson. Generally the outdated hymns are the one reward music I wish to hearken to. And this album is ideal for these occasions. (My mom is probably going studying this and grinning on the thought that I’m listening to and having fun with so many elderly hymns. You by no means would’ve caught them on my playlist as a youthful grownup.) The music “Within the Backyard” brings me to tears nearly each time it performs. What a present our Jesus is, my mates.
“Belief in him always, O individuals; pour out your coronary heart earlier than him; God is a refuge for us.” Psalm 62:8 ESV
