The Little Issues E-newsletter #486 – Life, ...

Welcome to the weekend, my pals! I’m in Santa Fe, NM this weekend with my sisters. We’re absorbing the cool, wet day immediately and having fun with our espresso this morning with trip pastries. (Anybody else profit from the enjoyable pastries when touring and infrequently do this at house? I’m all about it.) We’ll be taking part in video games, seemingly doing one other puzzle or two, and heading out for extra strolling as nicely, if and when the climate clears. It’s thrills a minute over right here – simply the way in which I find it irresistible.

ON THE BLOGS THIS WEEK: Have you ever seen the new website design? I’m loving it a lot. Hopefully, you’ll discover it easier to navigate and discover precisely what you’re craving!

We’re making all my favourite and best recipes this weekend, and I’m wanting ahead to every little thing. Egg roll in a bowl ramen is an irresistible skillet of deconstructed egg rolls tossed with ramen noodles, and I’m telling you now that you’re going to find it irresistible.

And you’ll’t have an egg roll bowl with out the drizzle of bang bang sauce, are you able to? It’s merely irresistible. This candy and spicy sauce has grow to be a staple in my fridge over the previous few years. 

I’ve been making this chicken waldorf salad on repeat each week for months now, and it’s the lunch plan for immediately. I’m nowhere close to bored with it. 

I’ll offer you one guess what’s for breakfast over right here. At house or when touring, it’s my go-to meal. And these jammy eggs shall be taking place as nicely. 

Scorching tea and steamed milk are all it is advisable make a London fog. Made with or with out caffeine, it is a drink you’ll get pleasure from all day lengthy. And I plan to get pleasure from at the very least one later immediately whereas it’s wet outdoors and I’m cozy inside. 

Is there something extra cozy than a piping scorching melting grilled cheese on a wet day? Ours must wait till tomorrow’s lunch, because the bread received’t be prepared till then, however it will likely be definitely worth the wait. (Additionally, when you aren’t utilizing sourdough on your grilled cheese sandwiches, you’re lacking out! It’s an actual recreation changer.)

These hibiscus margaritas are deeeelicious. Jenny made them for us final night time and added a chamoy rim – 1000 stars, extremely suggest. I’ll be sharing our model of the recipe quickly! 

What I’m CRAVING: My little sister has been making sourdough for some time, and it’s soooo good. She is an enormous fan of Maurizio Leo (extremely suggest his website for all the information you could ever need regarding sourdough!) Now we have been snacking on rosemary asiago sourdough and inexperienced chile cheddar sourdough all weekend. And she or he’s prepping a basic sourdough for the oven as I write this. I can hardly wait!

My FAVORITE THINGS this week are my earbuds. If I’ve shared them as soon as, I’ve in all probability shared them a half dozen instances over the previous few years. For lower than $30? They’re among the best purchases I’ve ever made, and I can’t think about touring with out them at this level. 

What I’m LISTENING to: for the time being, we’re streaming an 80s station and my older sister is more likely to begin moonwalking at any second. It’s by no means uninteresting round right here.

“When I’m afraid, I put my belief in you. In God, whose phrase I reward— in God I belief and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” Psalm 56:3-4 NIV

Wishing you a stunning week stuffed with little issues that make you smile!
