A little gif wish for your Friday made by me, just for you.
Hope your day is super duper mcschooper fab!
Oh hi! What’s that? What did you say?
You don’t know what to make for dinner tonight, but you want something that is super fast and super tasty and mostly pretty healthy?
Oooooh boy, have I got a suggestion for you. Why don’t you make this chili? It’s so good that I ate it three days in a row. It was ready in 30 minutes, and half of that time was just letting everything simmer together and become BFFs.
Yeah, this is what I think you should make for dinner tonight.
(these are basically your ingredients, not pictures are three cans of black beans and one can of diced tomatoes)
(cilantro and green onion to go on top)
(and sour cream too. It’s good.)

I pitter-pattered around the house in these bell bottoms and tee shirt practically all day on Saturday. Jason had to work so I spent my time watching four episodes of Vampire Diaries on Netflix (woah, I have been missing out!), and then I decided to be productive and get some new fabric for my bench (my local Hancock fabrics had all decorator fabric for 50% off this past Saturday) and pick up some more dog treats and countertop cleaner from Target, so I threw on this jacket, a punchy scarf, some blingy earrings and oversized sunnies and voila – instant glam for some not so glam errands.
p.s. If you like pretty little blingy things to adorn yourself with, check out Jenna Logan. It’s where my earrings are from and it’s a club where you pay $29.99 per month and can rent one item at a time, unlimited times each month. And the jewelry is real! No CZ in site!
I received a bread machine for Christmas and since then, my Sunday night ritual involves baking a fresh loaf of bread to enjoy for the week. The smell of freshly baked bread is definitely a great thing to wake up to on Monday mornings, and I somehow don’t feel bad eating white bread if I’ve made it myself.
The only problem? By the following weekend, any bread that’s left over is pretty stale. So far, I’ve used the remnants to make homemade breadcrumbs for coating chicken, french toast for Sunday breakfast, and feeding the ducks at a nearby lake. But enter this recipe for bread pudding pancakes and my Sunday breakfast routine just got a lot more interesting. The spongey, sweet pancakes were a great twist on a dish typically reserved for dessert.
oh my. This weekend has taken me by surprise with just how lovely it’s been. The sun has been pouring in our windows and I’ve just been devouring everything – the time spent with my little brother on Saturday night, the bread pudding pancakes I made for breakfast (recipe to come), the fabulous exercise that’s been working my body in the best way possible, the sunlight, the new issue of Real Simple that was delivered on Friday, padding around my house in my bare feet, a good glass of red and a good book. My delight is practically carnal.
The best news? It’s only early Sunday afternoon. oh my, indeed.
