Five random things on Friday :)
{ one } I first want to say thank you ALL for the positive feedback, support, and kind words I have received on my launch my blog. This is something I've wanted to start for a long time and having your support means the world to me. I do not claim to be an expert on anything I write about, but I DO promise to always write about topics that I am truly passionate about and think you will enjoy too!
{ two } I am SO over this heat!! I'm ready to be able to walk outside and not instantly sweat. With the high temperatures, the last thing I want to do is turn on our oven to make dinner. The answer to that: Giada's Lemon Spaghetti on repeat (recipe here).
I love it because the only thing that requires cooking is the pasta noodles and whatever protein you add. The sauce is just olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and pasta water. I typically add grilled chicken or grilled shrimp to this but you could also leave the meat out and serve as a side dish. A lot of time to make this even lighter I substitute the pasta for zucchini noodles (Tristan still has his with regular noodles). I highly recommend trying zoodles if you haven't tried them. I bought a spiralizer on amazon (link here) for $17.99 and use it all the time!
{ three } I recently bought a silk pillowcase on amazon (link here) because I read that sleeping on silk is better for your hair and skin. Worth a try, right! Well, turns out Moose really enjoys the silk, too. Tristan sent me this picture when I was out of town last weekend- stinker!
{ four } It was FINALLY my turn for Emily Giffin's new book First Comes Love at the library. If you need me this weekend- I'll be reading it on our deck while enjoying my morning coffee. She is one of my favorite authors and I can't wait to dig into this one!
{ five } Huffington Post posted an article this week that drinking one glass of red wine a day provides the same health benefits as going to the gym for one hour. Not sure I buy it, but I'm also not one to argue with facts. Cheers to that!
Hope you have a great weekend!!
