Friday Favorites from The Wanderlust Kitchen, Smitten Kitchen, The Cut, Lisa Leonard and More

October 16, 2016 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 7 Comments

Good morning! How are you?  I just wanted to thank you all for your comments and emails regarding my post about the election. It is so nice to have an intellectual conversation with intelligent, knowledgeable and well-read people about important events and topics. Thank you for taking the time to comment and share your views, I have learned a lot from you and I appreciate you taking the time to share your information.

I love Indian food. The spicy, flavorful dishes are some of my favorites to replicate at home and if they are easy to make than I like them even more. This Indian Cilantro Tomato Chicken from The Wanderlust Kitchen is one of my new favorites, in fact I am making it again today. You can whip this dish up in under an hour, serve it with rice and maybe even naan bread and you have a takeaway meal at home.

Pumpkin is my absolute favorite thing to eat; pumpkin pasta, cake, pie, and bread to name just of few of the items that are on rotation at my house this time of year. I have several “favorite” recipes but I am always looking for more and when Deb from The Smitten Kitchen posted this pumpkin bread yesterday I whipped up a loaf straight away. It is now my new favorite pumpkin bread. 

We are going to a dinner party this weekend and  I am bringing a chocolate dessert tray. These Fudgy Cocoa Brownies will definitely be on it!

Today is the 90th birthday of one of the most beloved characters ever written about, Winnie the Pooh.  I remember when I was little wishing that I lived in the Hundred Acre Woods with those adorable little animals. Happy 90th Birthday Winnie the Pooh! By the way, to celebrate Pooh’s birthday there is a new character coming out, a penguin, which you can read about it HERE.

This stunning book by female photographer Inge Morath is on my list for Christmas. 

I love this post The Unexpected Gift from Lisa Leonard.

Did you read, see, eat, make or find any interesting things this week? If so, please share. I hope that you have a happy, safe weekend.

    I always enjoy David Lebovitz's recipes and musings about life in Paris, and his post about Cold Toast this week was a real delight. He always has gorgeous photos, too.

Grief is just love with no place to go.” Thank y Grief is just love with no place to go.” Thank you my friends for all of your kind messages, thoughts and prayers.

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~ “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~Percy Bysshe Shelly  my answer to that is I hope not! This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
