Are you finding yourself in the midst of a too-much-leftover-ham problem this Easter Sunday afternoon?
Well, to be clear. Extra ham is not so much a problem, PERSAY, as an opportunity. An opportunity to make as many delicious hammy things as possible in the name of efficiency and non-wastefulness. These few post-Easter days aren’t QUITE as exciting as the post-Thanskgiving turkey-leftovers days, but they are pretty darn close if you ask me.
I know I always do a food picture, but I couldn’t resist – this is a totally un-edited picture of the view from our new running path. WHAT!!!
Hey guys! How’s your week going? Did you do anything for St. Patrick’s Day? We were lame/exhausted after the past few weeks of moving and settling in, and there wasn’t really as much spirit here as I’ve grown accustomed to in Chicago, so we didn’t really do anything (besides drink beer, of course). It certainly made me miss Chicago, and my Foodie Favorites this week certainly reflect that! I mean, we can eat Guinness and whisky all year, right? I say yes! Here are this week’s Foodie Favorites.
I love the idea of making your own Milano cookies. What a fun project (and totally applicable all year, amiright?!)
More St. Patrick’s Day goodies – I’m loving this classic Irish soda bread. Irish soda bread sounds so humble and simple, but it’s soooooo good with some butta and jam. Must make!
Serious brunch at the Original Pancake House in Chicago. I can never resist a good greasy skillet!
Happy Wednesday, people! How’s your week going? I had a very productive “single lady” weekend while Brad visited his friend Dave in Madison. I caught up with girlfriends, watched way too much Millionaire Matchmaker, and drank tons of wine – I couldn’t have asked for a better girly weekend! Of course, I was more than happy to greet Brad when he got home – a girl can only watch so much trashy TV before she starts to miss watching football a little teeny tiny bit (never tell him I admitted that). On to this week’s Foodie Favorites!
