Friday Favorites from Classic Casual Home, Stacey Lives, Smitten Kitchen, and More

Good morning friends and a happy Friday to you! It’s a beautiful day today made even better by the arrival of our mattress and the completion of two rooms. By this weekend I will be sleeping in my new bed and I will have my clothes hanging in my closet. It’s the little things friends. I am thankful and grateful for all of the hard work that our contractor and painter have done these last 35 days and I am looking forward to seeing more and more completed over the coming months.

I have lots to share with you so make yourself comfortable and lets get to it.

Food

Doesn’t this Sheet Pan chicken with Capers and potatoes look amazing?

This recipe for Healthy One Skillet Chicken Thighs with Creamy Spinach Sauce  is another easy and delicious chicken recipe.

If you are looking for a quick healthy lunch you might want to make this Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad.

I love limeade but I have never had Frozen Coconut Limeade so I am looking forward to trying this.

I am looking forward to making this Sunris Strawberry Mimosa  Cocktail.

How cute are these ice cream sandwiches.

I have never made a galette but I think I might make this peach and blueberry one from Cake & Knife.

In case you missed it I shared this chocolate cake topped with chocolate covered cherries.

Finds

Coffee lovers who also happen to be blue and white fans will love this Keurig K-Mini Basic Jonathan Adler.

Yes it’s August but I am already getting ready for Fall! I ordered this door mat from Target and it arrived yesterday, it’s going to be perfect at the back door. I also ordered this Studio McGee runner  and it’s beautiful and is a great price.

A few weeks ago I shared these Gap dishes with you. I ordered them to use until we can locate and unpack our own dishes. I thought I would report back and let you know what I thought about them. They are roughly $48 for 16 pieces, ceramic and are whimsical and would be great for sending with your kids to college, for a beach house or to use as your summer dishes. My everyday dishes are white and I prefer them but for now these are doing their job.

That is it for this week friends, I hope that you found something you enjoyed. As always, please share any books, recipes, podcasts or whatever else you found this week that you enjoyed and think we might as well.

Have a happy and safe weekend.

A couple of weeks ago, for the first time ever, I A couple of weeks ago, for the first time ever, I planted bare root peonies. I am outside every morning checking on their progress. I fear that two of them are not going to make it because I do not see anything but one just popped above the ground! It is about 3/4" and I cannot wait to watch it grow over the next few years. #amaturegardner #quote #quoteoftheday #serinahernandez #gardeningquote
