For my salad cravings, this BLT Chopped Salad and the Italian Grinder Salad have to occur quickly.
Ramen Egg Roll in a Bowl is an irresistible skillet of deconstructed egg rolls tossed with ramen noodles and I’m telling you now that you will adore it.
Considered one of my boys requested enchiladas this week, so these tacky inexperienced chile rooster and black bean enchiladas are additionally on the meal plan. It’s a assured two thumbs up from my crowd.
Buttery, garlicky shrimp with loads of brilliant lemon is one thing I can by no means get sufficient of. I’ve a tough time resisting consuming these Garlic Butter Shrimp straight out of the pan every time I cook dinner them.

What I’m READING: A Very Typical Household by Sierra Godfrey. This wasn’t actually a feel-good ebook for me. It was extra of an ups-and-downs curler coaster, a bit of too lifelike for me at occasions. I discovered it each miserable and uplifting at totally different occasions. It was beneficial to me, and I possible wouldn’t have picked it up by myself. Whereas the ebook wasn’t fairly what I anticipated, I needed to know the way it will finish and I’m glad I completed it.
What I’m WATCHING: At all times Be My Perhaps. I simply rewatched this film and cracked up laughing once more. It’s such an awesome feel-good flick and I give it two thumbs up.
