Hello again and happy Friday!
It’s been a good week at the FoodieCrush household where a few hiccups in our everyday routine are finally returning to normal and things are settling back in. Disruptions. They’re just part of life’s flow. In my humble opinion, the best way to get through them is to accept and power through. And eat more cookies. I was grateful to my former self when I pulled a few dough balls of my mom’s chocolate chip cookie recipe from the freezer to bake fresh and deliver to her. The combo of chocolate chips, oats, and nuts takes me back to my childhood every single time. Truth be told, I may wander into the kitchen after dinner to eat a dough ball straight from the freezer. However, I’ve also discovered they bake up more plump when frozen, so take that to the cookie jar (or straight from the freezer) and enjoy.
This is the cutest –> 87-year-old widower goes viral for hand-delivering party invitations, saying “4 PM until the cops arrive”. I want to celebrate with that cowboy!
Speaking of…today is my dog Zoee’s 12th birthday (aka the day we adopted her and guessed her age) and I want to celebrate her by baking her a doggie birthday cake. This one looks so good I’ll prob want a bite too. She’s my best little shadow and she deserves it!
Half the country is snowed in and the other half is wondering, “Where’s our snow?”!! Here are 5 home DIYs to try if you’re one of the former. Or the latter. Everyone’s included.
We’re late to the party but you can count my husband and me as part of the devoted congregation of this meme-worthy TV show everyone else is watching too. The imagination that went into the premise has me constantly guessing and the art direction, set design, and camera angles totally set the tone. Each episode leaves me wanting and wondering, what will happen next???
Mark this under questions you always wondered about but never knew who to ask: “How do astronauts shower in space?” Cocktail party conversation starter, CHECK!
People are sharing their best cleaning tricks and I’m like, doesn’t everyone already do that?
Spicy noodles are my jam but I’ve never considered upping their ante with this common spice.
Now, THIS is the way I want to eat my popcorn. More sticky fingers, please!
I used to make a chicken recipe so similar to this one, so now I need to find mine and try again. Or just make this one :).
Just like my mom, I love me a good scallop and when you put in a creamy sauce, forget about it. I AM IN.
This sheet pan chicken dinner gets jammy, savory, and perfectly flavored with loads of veg to go with.
Are people still on the Whole30 bandwagon? This ultra-cozy soup says they should be!
I absolutely do not cook with turmeric often enough and these baked chicken thighs are convincing me I need to jump on the T-train pronto.
OMG, if I saw this olive oil lemon cake at a restaurant I’d be ordering it as my main meal. Divine.
This air fryer whole chicken is just one reason to buy the bigger air fryer 🙂
Ahhhh, the saucy gravy on these tender nuggets of beef tips would be so perfect on buttery mashed potatoes or the easiest creamy polenta. Exactly the type of beef recipe I love.
Cottage cheese is still having a moment and when blended makes a smooth and creamy pasta sauce. Try it!
Call it a snow day and make this focaccia pizza.
I am so into cabbage right now and this side dish could be my main meal!
My husband makes the coffee in the mornings. We’ve tried several different Keurig coffee makers and this is the one we like the best. My morning cup is this blonde-roast K-cup (this is my husband’s fave flave) with frothed milk (from the BEST frother) and about a tablespoon of this vanilla creamer that isn’t too sweet, just right.
I have used all-white stoneware FOR YEARS but I can see myself jazzing up the table for spring with these very fun salad plates.
Shelve your gazelles, this Tokyo low-top sneaker is set to take over spring.
If you can’t afford the new Louis Vuitton “It bag” (or if you can, pre-orders start today) you can almost come close with this Coach dupe.
This top is another reason spring + cashmere = true love always.
What the most confident women say about self-love. Cheers to being more confident!
That’s it for this week! Have a wonderful weekend, stay warm, and cook something good!
