Happy "Back To Work" Day!

Not.


We had a wonderful little getaway,
 and I can't wait to share the photos from my camera.
Here is a sneak peak phone snap from the back deck:
I want to go back already!
It feels like the weekend flew by, and yet last week feels like a month ago. 
What's up with that?
I hope y'all had a nice Labor Day weekend!

Thursday Thoughts

Hi everyone! Just wanting to pop in and share a couple things.
Grocery store finds!
I am a big fan of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and I found this to be a great, somewhat healthier option:
Also, I love these Recipe Ready vegetable blends:

This one is great for chili and baked beans.
They have some really great varieties!
--
I watched this show last night on GAC, it was really fun!
 It talked about the history of the SEC and shared tailgate ideas and recipes.  This definitely got me in the mood to plan some menus!
--
Annnd I will leave you with my motto for the weekend:
--
Y'all have a happy and safe holiday weekend....

Humpity Hump

It's been a busy, but good, week over here.  I've had book club and investment club this week.  I've always been a very "involved" person, but sometimes I just want to cancel all of my meetings and sit on the couch with my babies.  I typically only schedule one "extra-curricular" per week but as I said, this is a busy one.  Combine this with the fact that we are leaving for Wolf Laurel early Friday for the long weekend, and I've got a lot going on!  I seriously can't wait for this view:

I tried my hand at Chicken Fried Steak for the first time the other night and I really liked it.  I think I used a bit too much Cheyenne in my flour mix, but it was still crispy and delicious.   Of course I used Pioneer Woman's recipe. I did not make the gravy this time but I will on my next try. 
On the menu for tomorrow night's game: Chili and cornbread!
I received an interesting email from the Discovery Channel show "Fast N Loud" wanting to talk to my boss about him winning the Cannonball Run in 1979.  How cool, Have you ever watched this show?
I really like the 2 owners:
I was looking at the calendar this morning and realized it is quickly filling up.
Heads up! Restaurant Week begins next Wednesday and from my review I recommend Blossom's menu.  
The countdown is on for our week at the beach, when I'll have 9 consecutive days off!!!!
Annnd I just received this:
Let's go!
