Toddler Snuggles and Culinary Chaos: My Weekend Vibe
Another week, another full moon. Can I get an amen for getting tomorrow off?! My brain is currently running on the fumes of lukewarm coffee and the sheer will to exist.
This is gonna be a short one because my body is telling me I'm ready to transform into a permanent couch shaped entity for some much needed toddler snuggles. Apologies for any typos but I’m too lazy to edit this tonight.
Let's talk about my other job! Meal prep is taking off and I'm loving playing culinary director. Did I attempt to recreate my favorite food truck's chicken and rice with pickled onions, cucumber/tomato salad and that super yummy white sauce? Yes. Did they still blow mine out of the water? Also yes. But hey, I tried!
Also on the menu today for maximum cozy factor was a simple brown butter and sage chicken pot pie. I did make an oopsie and forgot someone’s order but grabbed an extra from my shop so all is well! I made Portuguese potatoes and shrimp Mozambique (because I like my spice level to match my stress level) and it came out better than I expected! And the leftovers? My son's school lunch got a glow up today with rice, black beans and breaded chicken cutlets. Hopefully, those picky little animals actually ate it. Pray for me. Tomorrow they get scrambled eggs and bacon. TJ gets clam chowder!
My brain is officially FULL. Like I need to archive some files to install the new update. It’s a happy full though, and honestly, I wouldn't be able to do any of this without my incredible team! Thanks guys! LOVE you!
Also, a moment of silence for my shop’s 3 year anniversary on 12/2. I missed it. I straight up missed it. I'm blaming Thanksgiving. I'm blaming "life." Is a 5 year milestone a bigger deal anyway? Asking for a friend (it's me).
Anyway, tomorrow I’m free. My options currently include indoor skydiving because nothing says "break" like being aggressively thrown into the air. I bet my mom would like to tag along, actually. Maybe a brewery trip because hops and good company cure all. OR I could do a nap/TV sesh. Maybe melting into the sofa would be the best choice. Probably should throw in a load of laundry or two while I’m home.
Hope you all enjoy the rest of your week! If you're looking to upgrade your holiday game or need some weekly meal sanity just message me up for a platterbox for Christmas or meal prep!
XX,
Abby
