In all seriousness, what will I blog about when there are beautiful blue skies and no weather to complain about?!
Luckily my ticket to Florida to celebrate the birthday of #Grandpa Al in April just got booked, so we will find out : )
Onto another serious matter…Dinner!
Food Bloggers-What do you do when you make a great recipe but don’t get a good picture of it?! Last night’s meal was Crockpot Chicken Pesto from my 150 Healthiest Crockpot Recipes Book (seriously everything I make from here is golden!). Tuesday morning, I chopped the shallots. Tuesday afternoon, the BOY did the rest. Note: this was an easy recipe that I might have done ahead of time but we didn’t have room in our fridge for the full crockpot and I didn’t want chicken sitting out all day. End Note: I really didn’t think it was necessary to take a picture of the shallots.
Tuesday was a longer day than expected and I came back, just drained! I walked in at 9pm not even sure if I was going to eat dinner, but the sweet smell of pesto did me in. I took a small bowl of the chicken and mushroom mix and ate it standing while I unpacked my bag, debated doing some work, and changed into my PJ’s. I then proceeded to clean up the kitchen putting dinner in a tuperware in the fridge. It didn’t even occur to me to take a photo and I certainly didn’t have the energy to stage it as a real meal (like with veggies and some rice).
But, this dinner was fantastic, so I’d hate for ya’ll to miss out, but a blog post without pictures? That is so not me!
Insert random picture of car covered in snow this morning…
And so I have decided to share the link because this recipe is worth checking out and then post about this recipe in full the next time the BOY cooks with the crockpot : ) No, I will make it way before then!
As a consolation, I do have an updated photo from yesterday’s chili to show you, and I can tell you that it is filling and fantastic! And totally worth making for one last pre spring crockpot recipe!
Ok, so what do you do when blog posts don’t go according to plan?
Girrrl I want to be poolside in that photo right now! Thankfully I will be in beach paradise soon next month in Puerto Rico and I’m really looking fwd to it!
Oh I have never been there! How awesome! Take some pictures for us!
After the crazy weather you guys have had, that Florida sunshine has got to look good! I’m excited FOR you!! I’m sure you’ll find plenty of fun things to blog about down there… testing sunscreens, taste testing cocktails at the pool, tips on how to sleep in and relax. You’ll think of something 😉
He he! For sure! How to enjoy a weekend of absolutely nothing (except for my grandpa’s 102nd Bday)! After that I am going to start scheduling my Cali trip!
So glad you’re going to sunshine and palm trees to celebrate your grandpa again!
Thanks! Me too! I can’t believe he is going to be 102!
Have fun in Florida! It is hot there!! it will be a total shock there! Even more than when you went to Vegas!! 🙂
For sure!
I can’t wait!
That sunshine looks amazing, so fun that you have that to look forward to!
I know…right?! Thank goodness for sunny skies ahead!
Palm trees… yes, please! Love that you’re going to celebrate your sweet grandpa again!
I know…me too!
Bring on the palm trees!
