Best Week Ever, 12/16/11

This week has been a doozy.

Wednesday was one of those days where I wish we could just have just gone back to bed and tried again.

We overslept, were rushing to work, and got rear ended by a lady that drove off after she hit us. So, that was fun. Thankfully, we don’t have too much damage to the car, but still – not the best way to start the day! And the cops caught her, so we did get some good news.

Other than that, the week has been great!

I’ve been practicing guitar every night this week. My fingers are killing me, but it’s fun. I didn’t realize how much I missed it.

I totally forgot to tell you guys about these chicken nuggets we made a few weeks ago. It’s this chik-fil-a copycat recipe – they were really good! And it’s always good to fry stuff in a cast iron pan.

In house news….our master bathroom is mess right now. The shower is ripped out and we’re in the middle of picking what we want for tiles before we start putting the bathroom back together.

Last night, Nick and I cleaned up the dining room after Nick finished the sanding, so now we just have to pick a paint color. Blue? Green? I have no idea yet.

 

I am completely obsessed with tights right now. I’ve worn a pair every day this week! These polka dot ones are my new favorites. I’m actually hoping it gets a little colder so I can wear them even more.

Bread, bread, and more bread. I’ve got a new recipe to share soon, and it turned out soooooo good.

And finally.

This may be the biggest, most exciting news I will ever share on this little old blog, and I’m still shocked / psyched / terrified about it.

This coming Monday, December 19th, one of my recipes (and a video of me!!) will be on the Dr. Oz show!!!

I. am. totally. freaking. out. In the best way, of course.

Thank you, thank you to all of you for reading and leaving me comments and sending emails every day – it means so much to me, and I’m so happy I get to make up and share recipes with you guys.

Happy Friday!!
