I always lose track of what day it is after a holiday weekend (especially now that I'm home every day)... and then suddenly it is Friday again! Please tell me I'm not the only one who gets thrown...
Here is a wrap-up of the things that kept us smiling through the holiday weekend and late-week heat!
Favorite New Recipe: Steel-cut Oatmeal and Blueberry Muffins
The original recipe here makes 12 muffins. It sounded a bit dry, so I substituted 3/4 cup of milk, 1/4 cup vegetable oil and 1 egg for the 1/3 cup olive oil. Also, I used 1 cup blueberries (not raisins), and added a few chocolate chips on top of half (for adults only!) before baking. They were hearty and delicious!
Lu couldn't wrap her fingers around them fast enough!
Fav #2: Home-grown Buttercrunch lettuce
This is my second year growing lettuce in my vegetable garden and it is fool-proof. It is an early-season plant so you get to enjoy home-grown veggies right away! I usually pull up the roots once it bolts and plant something else in the same spot- this way I get double use of my small garden bed.
Fav #3: Essie Tarte Deco nail polish
I have an obsession. It is the perfect coral-pinky-orange and I can't stop myself from using it again and again. You can get it Here.
Fav #4: Daddy-Daughter moments
The pictures say it all.
Love them to pieces.
