Weekend

☕️𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞𝗘𝗡𝗗 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚☕️

It’s the weekend!! Today is another chilly winter day, so I’m staying curled up at home with college football and my books…And the laundry, dishes, vacuuming, etc. There are a lot of dishes after all the cooking I did yesterday too, and I have a feeling I’m going to cook up a storm again today and trash the kitchen all over again 😂

Onto my current books:

Last night I started 𝗡𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗰𝘂𝗲 𝗮 𝗥𝗼𝗴𝘂𝗲 and before I knew it I was over 100 pages into the book. So far it’s a fun and light romcom with excellent banter while set in the 19th century. I’m easily going to finish this one today, and I can’t wait to see how the romance unfolds.

I recently saw a preview for the movie 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗰𝗵, and was hooked, so I of course had to read the book first. I’m just in the beginning but Fletch’s character is a hoot and I can’t wait to see what he all gets up to.

I’m picking up 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀 to read with @keepingyouonread today. I’ve been back on my WWII historical fiction kick and have heard some great things about this book!

Yesterday

I did quite a bit of cooking and trashing of my kitchen yesterday. Since our windchills were in the negatives I figured a pot roast, soup, and fresh bread would be the ticket.

For the soup I made Creamy White Chicken Chili pictured above.

I went with cooking it in the crockpot version and made the following amendments:

• Sauté the onion and poblanos before adding to the crockpot

• Add and sauté garlic to the pan of poblanos and onion one they are softened, along with spices

I made our favorite 5 Ingredient Beer Bread to go with both meals.

I just love the way our house smells when bread is baking!

We also had Kate and Rigg’s annual vet checkups and shots, so they were all about the snuggles with Web after we got home.
