Hi there Happy Friday! WOW! What a crazy week I had! I broke my ankle over Mother's Day weekend. There was a giant pothole right in the middle of a crosswalk. I went down hard! So, this is the new
me!
This week has been filled with highs and lows. The bad news is I'm in a boot for 4 weeks. The good news, no surgery, no major pain, and no more crutches. Thank goodness. I was no good at that! My new scooter just arrived. What a life saver! Not to worry. I'm hanging in there. I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU! You all have melted me! I can't
tell you how much your love, extreme kindness, and prayers mean to me! I feel so blessed! I got this! Thanks too for all the advice! It's been so helpful!
Keepin' it real. Not being able to cook is making me CRAZY! I love my fiancé Hoyt to pieces and he's trying so hard! Truth be told I may not be the greatest patient. LOL! Confession...we have been ordering too much take out this week. I'm so over it! I have a plan! I'm going to give him SUPER EASY recipes! He actually
loves to cook! I just gotta surrender and let him do it! I'm craving all things summer! Like BBQ. I'm getting out the slow cooker and we're making my Super Easy Pulled Pork Sandwiches this weekend! I mean he can totally handle this! It's literally 5 ingredients! You just throw it all in a crockpot! The ginger ale (the real stuff, not diet) gives it great flavor! This is great on buns, slider rolls or even in tortillas. I get a big pork roast even two! The leftovers freeze great and heat up really well in the microwave. That means we've got another dinner or even 2 or 3 in the freezer
for later this summer! LOVE THAT! This recipe is PERFECT for Memorial Day weekend to! I'm so ready!
Gotta have coleslaw with my pulled pork! It's a must! Coleslaw from the deli most of of the time is terrible. Plus, you get that little container and it's so expensive too! NUTS! Shred your own cabbage or even easier pick up a bag or two of your favorite
slaw mix and toss together my Bacon and Bleu Slaw. It's so easy and it's ALWAYS a WINNER! It goes with whatever you are
grillin'!
My jazzed up Baked Beans are a taste of summer for sure! BRING ON SUMMER! I can't wait! These beans are my summer go-to! It's just canned baked beans and a few other ingredients you have in your kitchen right now. Bake them with bacon on top. So easy and so good! The perfect
dish to pass at the backyard BBQ!
For dessert, after this week, I need a treat! Keep it easy but delicious with this Strawberry Refrigerator Cake. It starts with a boxed cake mix but nobody needs to know that. It will be our little secret. It's so fresh and light and fluffy and
strawberry-licious! Not sure that's a word but it should be!
I put some of my favorite late spring and summer recipes all in one place! From light summer desserts, dips, salads, asparagus recipes, grilling recipes and so much more. CHECK IT OUT!
