5 Favorite Things

April 11, 2021 by Alex

I missed last week’s five favorite things because Jim and I were out of town visiting my family for Easter! I really did mean to post, but traveling is exhausting! We returned home, picked up a few groceries, and slothed about on the couch reading books and snoozing. 

So today you get my five favorite things from the last two weeks. And in video form, no less! 

Also, I sincerely apologize for not getting any posts out last week! My normal schedule is doing a lot of the cooking/photographing/post-writing over the weekends and then share one recipe a day.

We were out of town last weekend and so my whole schedule was off and posting during the week can be tricky! All said and done, I spend at least two hours per post, and that doesn’t even include cooking time! 

Until then, here are my five favorite things from the last two weeks! 

#5: Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. Great book about the illusion of successful people and the behind the scenes opportunities that fell into their laps.

#4: Garlic spread by Trader Joe’s (aka: Toum – a Middle Eastern condiment for kebabs)

#3: Girl’s night out with my friend, Lauren! And her smokin’ old fashioned!

#2: The Mighty Ducks. So ’90s. So my new favorite movie. Also, the TV show on Disney+ is excellent!

#1: Spending time with my family over Easter and getting to share it with Jim!

I love "putzy," complicated recipes and making nearly everything from scratch! Read More…
