Welcome to the weekend, my friends! I’m headed to Santa Fe with my sisters for a few days next weekend and I can hardly wait. It’s been far too long since our last getaway. Do you have a favorite spot in Santa Fe? Shoot me a note if there’s something new I should try.
ON THE BLOG this week: Crispy-edged baked green chile chicken burritos full of cheesy goodness are an easy-to-assemble mealtime hit, full of green chile flavor.
Potatoes, red and green bell peppers, and yellow onions are combined in a colorful and flavorful breakfast skillet that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Loaded with flavor and just a hint of heat, these Italian stuffed bell peppers are filled with ground beef and rice, seasoned with plenty of Italian spices, and topped with cheese.
White bean and corn enchiladas with green chile sauce and lots of cheesy goodness serve as a meal or snacktime dip.
Naturally sweet and bursting with blueberry freshness, banana blueberry pancakes are a weekday breakfast must in our home. Are you wondering how to pull off pancakes on a busy weekday morning?? Check out all the tips in the post.
Warm slices of baked apples covered with cinnamon brown sugar streusel topping are all that’s required to make this easy apple crisp recipe.
What I’m CRAVING: This Chocolate Cream Pie by Valerie’s Kitchen is what chocolate-loving dreams are made of. I haven’t had a chocolate pie in ages and this one needs to happen soon!
My FAVORITE THING this week is the Misen vegetable peeler. (link HERE) My friend Rebecca gifted it to me a few weeks ago and if I’m honest, I wasn’t convinced I’d love it. (I’ve never been a big fan of the Y-shaped peelers in the past.) She was right though. This one is a keeper. It’s wicked sharp and comfortable to use.
What I’m WATCHING: Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (link HERE) If I’d been asked half an hour into this movie what I thought of it, I’d have said “serious cringe” and I was about to turn it off. However, I was watching with my kids and we wanted to give it a chance.
Luckily, it turned out to be an excellent watch. In a terrific mix of the expected and unexpected, with a cast that I loved watching. Ed Norton and Daniel Craig are great actors and the unexpected cameos were terrific. We were all nearly cheering by the end of the movie. It was funny and sweet and awful and cringy and just plain fun to watch.
What I’m READING: Cooking for Jeffrey: A Barefoot Contessa Cookbook (link HERE) Ina Garten has been married to her husband Jeffrey for over 50 years now and this cookbook is filled with his favorite recipes.
There are sweet photos of the two of them tucked into the pages and even though I’m not much of a celebrity cookbook collector, the stories in this one made me smile. I’ve flagged a few recipes to try as I’ve been flipping through it, so you can bet I’ll share them with you in the future if they’re hits with my guys.
“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” Philippians 4:8
Wishing you a beautiful week full of little things that make you smile!
