Welcome to the weekend, my mates! It’s been a drizzly moist week right here in Ohio till yesterday, however I cherished the overcast days and loved the sound of rain whereas I labored. In consequence, I’m further completely satisfied about a number of days of sunshine now too.

However first, the weekend will probably be stuffed with a child bathe, a grad occasion, church, household dinner, and a recreation evening.
ON THE BLOGS THIS WEEK: Parmesan cheese, black pepper, butter, and olive oil mix to make this parmesan pepper pasta. Its ease of preparation is matched solely by its perfection. The recipe is a mild riff on the basic Italian dish cacio e pepe which interprets merely as cheese and pepper.

We’re a household of meatloaf lovers. So, naturally, when a buddy informed me that she makes her meatloaf with a package of Lipton onion soup mix, I knew I wanted to attempt it. I’ll admit I’ve tweaked the recipe a very good bit from the unique one I discovered on the Lipton web site. I like what I like, what can I say? Nevertheless, it seems that these onion soup seasonings work very properly for meatloaf.

I cannot get sufficient contemporary berries recently and I’m thrilled that they’ve been so candy and tart and ideal recently after I purchase them. I simply shook collectively a jar of creamy poppyseed dressing to make this summer berry salad this weekend.
My FAVORITE THINGS this week are these bath salts. I’ve talked about them within the publication a number of instances over time. I by no means was once a shower individual, however these salts work like nothing else for muscle reduction and leisure earlier than sleep. I depend on them after exhausting exercises and, as a bonus, I sleep noticeably higher after utilizing them in a shower earlier than mattress.
What I’m LISTENING to: It’s been a Blues Traveler type of week over right here. I attempted a random 90s playlist a number of days in the past and was transported again to so many enjoyable music reminiscences.
