Welcome to the weekend, my associates! We’ve had a splendidly peaceable Christmas break up to now and I’m able to dive again into the final week of labor earlier than the brand new 12 months. (Carry on 2026, I’m sooooo prepared for it!) The children are having fun with their break from college and our climate right here in Ohio has been a wild trip of chilly, then heat, then tremendous heat, and now it’s presupposed to get chilly once more.
ON OUR MEAL PLAN THIS WEEK: Grilled cheese sandwiches paired with our favorite tomato soup is the right lunch for a cold day. Is there something higher than the crunch of toasted cheese crammed sourdough drenched in tomato soup?
When you haven’t tried it but, this balsamic glazed meatloaf is about to vary your meatloaf sport. Served with chunky, buttery, garlic smashed potatoes, and smashed Brussels sprouts it is a meal I completely love.
These juicy, tender pan-fried chicken thighs with a golden-crisp pores and skin are potential with only a spoonful of oil and a little bit of endurance. Paired with this cheesy broccoli mushroom casserole, it’s assured happiness in your plates.
Italian White Bean, Cabbage, and Sausage Soup is loaded with nice flavors and it’s crammed with much more greens and meat than broth. I wish to serve this soup with warm, toasted garlic bread.
Have you ever tried baking sweet potatoes in the air fryer but? If not, I extremely advocate that you just put this one in your record to attempt asap. This has change into certainly one of my favourite lunches over the previous 12 months. It’s about so simple as it will get and it’s my form of consolation meals too.
I’m making room for yet one more improbable dessert whereas we’re on our Christmas break. This chocolate cobbler combines a topping of fudgy, chocolate cake over a layer of wealthy, gooey chocolate. When you’ve ever had a molten lava cake, then the expertise is deliciously comparable.
My FAVORITE THING this week is that this tiny keychain container. It may be used as a journey capsule case or for carrying small jewellery or earplugs. It’s past the best factor I might’ve imagined! I began carrying mine over a month in the past and cherished it a lot, I wound up giving it to a number of individuals this Christmas. It’s tremendous discreet and skinny and doesn’t crush my keychain in any respect. I actually find it irresistible.
What I’m WATCHING: Oh, how I cherished the primary Knives Out movie. And Glass Onion: the Knives Out sequel was enjoyable too. So, once I noticed Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery pop up final weekend on Netflix, you may wager I instantly deliberate a film night time with my boys. Let me let you know, it didn’t disappoint.
That is darker and extra twisted than both of the opposite motion pictures, and it was a whole lot of enjoyable to look at. Whereas these aren’t all “good” individuals, you’re left with hope in the long run. I genuinely appreciated it. So, should you loved the opposite two, I extremely advocate this one. I nonetheless preserve that the primary film is the very best, however my boys have all declared this one their favourite.
What I’m LISTENING to: Christmas by Sandra McCracken. Wow, should you’re a Sandra McCracken fan, this album is an absolute must-listen. Basic songs sung in her uniquely stunning means, oh, I simply find it irresistible from begin to end. I want I’d came across it a month or two in the past, however I’m listening now and it’ll certainly be on repeat subsequent Christmas too.
“He’ll cowl you together with his feathers, and below his wings you can find refuge; his faithfulness might be your defend and rampart.” Psalm 91:4
Wishing you a stunning week crammed with little issues that make you smile!
