What a weekend. It's Wednesday and I still have not fully recovered. We had a packed weekend full of fun, family, and celebrating. We got to spend some QT with my little nephews, we went to the zoo, and had a great pool party. I cannot believe my little pumpkinhead is 1. What an amazing, fulfilling, exciting, exhausting, and love-filled year it has been. The best year of my entire life. I am so grateful for my little sweetpea. S ate every minute of her birthday weekend up. She relished all the extra attention and certainly did not shy away from the limelight! For example, exhibit A:

To be totally honest, I have had absolutely zero time to cook, and even less time to grocery shop. Soooooooo no new fun GFG recipes right now. I have seen two great new flourless brownie recipes in the past week or so that I can't wait to try- one from my favorite blogger Alex over at Spoonful of Sugar Free and another from Chocolate and Carrots. Both look amazing. Hop over and give them a try! Additionally- there are several new books out that I can't wait to get my hands on.
Any recipes you've recently tried that you absolutely loved?
Oh and a couple random Costco tips- they have 2lb bags of Chia seeds for less than $7. Unreal. And, a 22ounce container of Maranatha Almond Butter for less than $6. Other things I need to start buying there instead of the groc. store include salsa, cashews, olive oil, vanilla, and quinoa. I love costco so flippin much!
Costco is selling chia seeds???
ReplyDeleteI really don't use them much...but that surprises me.
now here's a confession....I LOVE your little video!!!!
my son's 1st bday was so anti climactic.
nobody in our family was much for celebrating it and I was so depressed over it.
So glad you had such wonderful family love for your family and sweet daughter!
I may or may not have made the flourless brownies of Alex's.
I'm drawing a blank.
I have made quite a few of her dishes and loved them all !
Happy Wednesday! Get some rest!
hey cindy! oh man the party was a ton of work but well worth it- not that a one year old is going to remember any of it! i swear though between work and having tons of family in town, it is totally exhausting! hope you had a wonderful labor day weekend!
