Hello, Sunday. Happy Easter!
I know I’ve been MIA but I hope to be back at it. Last weekend I moved into my new house, but having been running between work and Mom’s house all week, I haven’t had much of a chance to make it a home. This week, Crawley and I hope to tuck in and do just that. And maybe cook a few things. And maybe even write about it! Seems a novel concept in these parts of late.
What are you doing for Easter today? Little Bro couldn’t come home, so Mom and I are making the best of it with a nice big bowl of spaghetti and meatballs. No ham here; the heart wants what it wants. We’re eating and watching a lot of Fixer Upper.
Here’s what caught my eye this week. I hope you spend today with your feet up, your belly full of food and laughs.

Getting married is not an accomplishment. This popped into my feed and I think it’s worth another share. My married and non-married friends alike agree that getting a ring on it should do nothing to eclipse getting an education, a promotion, or generally just living an awesome life. It doesn’t take skill to get married, just perhaps a little luck and some hard work. But, in some ways, we’re still living in the Downton days.

Are you making a ham today? Then you should make this soup tomorrow. It’s my fave.
Have a great week!
Leftover St. Patrick’s Day homemade corned beef is made into a delicious breakfast recipe for corned beef hash with eggs and potatoes.
Hello, Monday. The long weekend days continue, but hopefully for not much longer. I’m working on moving the last few small things from one house to another. I spent my St. Paddy’s painting my new bathroom green, and I only have one more room to…
It’s recipe! I can cook! And I’m here to prove it to you with these corned beef & kimchi melts.
When planning our trip, H, L and I decided that we’d obviously need to unwind from our frenzied itinerary, so we booked ourselves into luxury, the perfect way to spend our last night in Vietnam before parting ways back to reality and the dreadfully long…
Hello, Sunday. Is it Sunday? The days are long and blending together. In the same vein as my last Sunday ramblings a few weeks ago, I’m tired and life is still going at a crazy pace and I am admittedly barely keeping up or keeping…
We were lucky enough to plan our trip to Vietnam just before the New Year when the entire country was prepping their homes, meaning that there were flowers, flowers everywhere!
