The Little Issues E-newsletter #486 – Life, laughter, and plenty of nice meals!

Welcome to the weekend, my mates! I’m in Santa Fe, NM this weekend with my sisters. We’re absorbing the cool, wet day at this time and having fun with our espresso this morning with trip pastries. (Anybody else benefit from the enjoyable pastries when touring and barely try this at house? I’m all about it.) We’ll be taking part in video games, doubtless doing one other puzzle or two, and heading out for extra strolling as nicely, if and when the climate clears. It’s thrills a minute over right here – simply the way in which I find it irresistible.

ON THE BLOGS THIS WEEK: Have you ever seen the new website design? I’m loving it a lot. Hopefully, you’ll discover it easier to navigate and discover precisely what you’re craving!

We’re making all my favourite and best recipes this weekend, and I’m wanting ahead to all the pieces. Egg roll in a bowl ramen is an irresistible skillet of deconstructed egg rolls tossed with ramen noodles, and I’m telling you now that you’re going to find it irresistible.

And you’ll’t have an egg roll bowl with out the drizzle of bang bang sauce, are you able to? It’s merely irresistible. This candy and spicy sauce has turn into a staple in my fridge over the previous few years. 

I’ve been making this chicken waldorf salad on repeat each week for months now, and it’s the lunch plan for at this time. I’m nowhere close to bored with it. 

I’ll offer you one guess what’s for breakfast over right here. At house or when touring, it’s my go-to meal. And these jammy eggs will probably be occurring as nicely. 

Scorching tea and steamed milk are all it is advisable to make a London fog. Made with or with out caffeine, this can be a drink you’ll take pleasure in all day lengthy. And I plan to take pleasure in no less than one later at this time whereas it’s wet exterior and I’m cozy inside. 

Is there something extra cozy than a piping sizzling melting grilled cheese on a wet day? Ours should wait till tomorrow’s lunch, for the reason that bread gained’t be prepared till then, however it is going to be well worth the wait. (Additionally, for those who aren’t utilizing sourdough in your grilled cheese sandwiches, you’re lacking out! It’s an actual recreation changer.)

These hibiscus margaritas are deeeelicious. Jenny made them for us final night time and added a chamoy rim – 1000 stars, extremely advocate. I’ll be sharing our model of the recipe quickly! 

What I’m CRAVING: My little sister has been making sourdough for some time, and it’s soooo good. She is a giant fan of Maurizio Leo (extremely advocate his web site for all the information you could ever need regarding sourdough!) Now we have been snacking on rosemary asiago sourdough and inexperienced chile cheddar sourdough all weekend. And he or she’s prepping a basic sourdough for the oven as I write this. I can hardly wait!

My FAVORITE THINGS this week are my earbuds. If I’ve shared them as soon as, I’ve most likely shared them a half dozen occasions over the previous few years. For lower than $30? They’re the most effective purchases I’ve ever made, and I can’t think about touring with out them at this level. 

What I’m LISTENING to: in the mean time, we’re streaming an 80s station and my older sister is more likely to begin moonwalking at any second. It’s by no means boring round right here.

“When I’m afraid, I put my belief in you. In God, whose phrase I reward— in God I belief and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” Psalm 56:3-4 NIV

Wishing you a stunning week crammed with little issues that make you smile!
