Friday Favorites from Wild, Wild Whisk, Simply Delicious, Aberseen’s Kitchen and More.

March 23, 2019 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 8 Comments

Good morning! I hope that you had a great week and that you are starting to see signs of Spring and maybe having a bit of Spring weather. The weather here has been warm, cold, sunny, rainy and that is all in about an hour. I don’t think that we are really going to see Spring weather until May and honestly  I am ok with that, I am not ready yet for the humidity and heat. 

Interesting Food

As it is Spring I thought you might enjoy a few “spring” like foods.

Doesn’t this Lemon French Toast with Strawberries from Simply Delicious look delicious? I think I might make this for breakfast on Sunday!

Blueberry Scones from Wild, Wild Whisk are perfect for breakfast of for afternoon tea.

Doesn’t this Spring Salad from Aberdeen’s Kitchen look refreshing?

I am so excited to let you know about The Happiness Playlist: The True Story of Healing MY Heart with Feel Good Music because it was/is written by my cousin Mark Mallman. 

Minneapolis rock legend Mark Mallman woke at 3 a.m. with a crushing panic attack that wouldn’t end. He responded by pouring songs into a happiness playlist and leaning on the wisdom of friends. This is the true story of a man beset by grief, healed by music, and learning to laugh through it all.

Praise:

“Mark Mallman is legitimately original, exclusively motivated by a desire to conquer the strange obstructions he builds inside his mind.” — Chuck Klosterman, author of Fargo Rock City: A Heavy Metal Odyssey in Rural North Dakota.

“This brave and masterfully written book is a testament to the power of love and art. Read it and become obsessed.” — Diablo Cody, Academy Award-winning screenwriter of Juno and creator of United States of Tara.

The Hunting Party


“A ripping, riveting murder mystery — wily as Agatha Christie, charged with real menace, real depth. Perfect for fans of Ruth Ware.” – A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window

During the languid days of the Christmas break, a group of thirtysomething friends from Oxford meet to welcome in the New Year together, a tradition they began as students ten years ago. For this vacation, they’ve chosen an idyllic and isolated estate in the Scottish Highlands—the perfect place to get away and unwind by themselves.

The trip began innocently enough: admiring the stunning if foreboding scenery, champagne in front of a crackling fire, and reminiscences about the past. But after a decade, the weight of secret resentments has grown too heavy for the group’s tenuous nostalgia to bear. Amid the boisterous revelry of New Year’s Eve, the cord holding them together snaps.

Now, on New Year’s Day, one of them is dead . . . and another of them did it.

Pacific Natural

From an apple harvest dinner and at-home herb drying in the fall, cocktail parties andDIY gift ideas in the winter, flower arranging in the spring and a beach picnic in the summer, Jenni shares her philosophy for creating traditions and living mindfully all year long.
 
A thoughtful hands-on approach for stylish and balanced living, Pacific Natural shows us how to make the most of the time we spend together, treating life’s details with creativity and care.

The Cookie Book

he Cookie Book includes a wide-range of cookies to fit every type of craving. You’ll satisfy a simple mid-week chocolate chip cookie craving by perusing the Hella Chocolate Chip Cookie Chapter (think Big Ass Olive Oil Cookies and Everything Chocolate Chip Cookies). When you’re looking to dive a little deeper into butter and sugar you can dabble in Dazzling Drop Cookies (Oatmeal, Blueberry + Puffed Quinoa Breakfast Cookies and Banana Bread Chocolate Chunk Cookies) or jump into the Jazz Hands Chapter and dazzle with Cold Brew Cookies With White Chocolate + Espresso Beans and Burnt Sugar Bark Ginger Cookies.
 
Rebecca has gained a large and loyal following for her sumptuous treats. “Writer, photographer and queen of cookies, Rebecca Firth teases my sweet tooth and I am not mad about it. Love following her and her tempting creations and can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.” Tiffani Thiessen, actress and author of Pull Up a Chair. The Cookie Book is a beautifully crafted book that will satisfy both long time DisplacedHousewife readers as well as enchant those discovering her for the first time.

    With luck we will have local strawberries at the market soon. The hothouse berries showed up about two weekends ago.

    I always want to cook everything you show and read all the books you list. But how exciting that your cousin wrote a book on such a needed subject! I did buy the little candle from Target this week, in green. Wonderful scent!

    Happy weekend to you and enjoy the French toast, which I want to try too,
