Welcome to the weekend, my pals! I’m planning to get out for a stroll, learn my ebook, prepare dinner and {photograph} some new dishes, and work on a puzzle with my boys. Nothing too thrilling for anybody else, but it surely all sounds beautiful to me proper now. I hope that your weekend is stuffed with lots of your favourite issues too!

Mock apple pie started as a thrifty approach 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 informed him there was no fruit in it. The flavour is paying homage to a mix of pecan pie and apple pie and the entire household agrees it’s scrumptious.
What I’m CRAVING: My pal Christi’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies. These cookies are among the greatest I’ve ever tasted. I’ve talked about them right here earlier than, but it surely bears repeating as a result of they’re FANTASTIC. (I’m pretty sure that these cookies performed a component in how rapidly Christi’s husband Rick fell in love along with her.)
My FAVORITE THINGS this week are these reusable grocery bags. I came upon this 10-pack of luggage the opposite day and I’ve to inform you, I wasn’t anticipating a lot. Nevertheless it seems they’re nice! They’re larger than I assumed they’d be they usually maintain a LOT. I wish to preserve a number of tote baggage in my automobile for random issues I’m transporting, not simply groceries. (i.e. a cease on the used bookstore that leads to 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 Fire (The Nice Library Ebook 2) by Rachel Caine. These YA books have a draw that I can’t resist. The concept that there is likely to 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 ebook lover. Whereas this wasn’t my favourite ebook within the collection, it ended with a terrific cliffhanger that drew me straight into the third ebook as rapidly as I used to be in a position to obtain it.
What I’m LISTENING to: Precious Memories by Alan Jackson. Generally the outdated hymns are the one reward music I wish to take heed to. And this album is ideal for these instances. (My mom is probably going studying this and grinning on the thought that I’m listening to and having fun with so many aged hymns. You by no means would’ve caught them on my playlist as a youthful grownup.) The tune “Within the Backyard” brings me to tears virtually each time it performs. What a present our Jesus is, my pals.
“Belief in him always, O folks; pour out your coronary heart earlier than him; God is a refuge for us.” Psalm 62:8 ESV
