Finally Friday

March 9, 2012

1. A sneak peek of a project I’ll be showing you next week!

2. Chicken stew with butternut squash and quinoa. Yum.

3. Apartment Therapy was doing a breakfast week. Let’s just say I’ve saved at least 17 recipes that look delish. This is cranberry pistachio quinoa breakfast cookies. Yes, I’ve got a thing for quinoa at the moment.

4. I ordered a bunch of supplies from Amazon for my parents to bring when they come in a few weeks. Top of the list? Gold spray paint. Oh, the fun we’ll have!

5. I brought this dress home from Zara earlier in the week. I love how it looks like a watercolor painting!

For most of this week, I was a bit smug and quite proud of myself that I squeezed so much into last weekend. But last night, it all caught up with me. I took an accidental nap (hate those!) that lasted three hours and after an hour awake, went straight back to bed for another seven hours. Oops.

But happily I think that means I’ll have lots of energy for my ever-growing to-do list this weekend! And luckily, it’s a fun list. Lots of projects, writing, and a little basketball-watching and birthday-celebrating. Hopefully I’ll also relax a little more than last weekend!

What are you planning this weekend? Any fun recipes, projects or plans? I hope whatever you do, it’s lovely and relaxing!

    Adorable dress – yay for spring and shoving all the grey/black winter clothes to the back of the wardrobe 🙂

    I have a baking weekend ahead of me and made these today as a warm-up! They are *divine* (and, umm, just as healthy as those quinoa breakfast cookies):

      Oh Torry that recipe looks delicious! How did it turn out?

        Delicious – they go a tiny bit crispy, so being of the chewy cookie camp, next time I’d pull them out a minute or two early and then they would be just perfect! If you try them let me know what you think!
