May Recap: Top Recipes 🏆

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

Happy Sunday! I meant to send this earlier but we've been working in the yard all day. I was on a quest to find a bird bath & didn't realize that finding one locally would be tricky.

We also got a new baffle for my bird feeder pole & this to appease Rose, who has named all the squirrels.

We just finished dinner & I'm looking over the month of May, which truly went by in the blink of an eye.

🏆 Top Recipes from May

May was a busy recipe month - I shared five new recipes and updated one old one.

Finally shared my favorite Black Cocoa Brownies
I made French Onion Dip with my Homemade Onion Soup Mix
And finally, I highly recommend these fluffy potato rolls

I worked on a crockpot pepper steak recipe last week that turned out SO GOOD. Any other requests?

🛒 Add to Cart

I just ordered two more of these. I have four colors now. They're perfect for the warmer weather. I usually throw one of these over the top (I have two colors in this, too, but I just saw they're on sale & might need another...).
Speaking of warmer weather, our AC went out this week & this little guy saved me at my desk. I'm often on my walking pad while working & needed help cooling down.
Another thing to wear - my friend Erin recommended these shoes to me. She travels & walks a ton so she knows what she's talking about & she was right, they're super comfy.

Talk to you soon!

Hi Reader, The internet has spoken and what it wants is queso. My Chili's copycat queso video blew up this week.
