Weekly food prep: savory oatmeal for breakfasts; spinach muffins from the freezer for snacks; quinoa mix from the freezer for lunches since I ended up eating leftovers last week; golden turmeric paste for the dogs (that's what that is down there on the right); potato soup (making tonight, I could not make it when it was 60 degrees yesterday) or salmon with steamed veggies for dinner; mini stuffed peppers for the party Saturday (recipe coming tomorrow).
Sunday things:
Lounged with dogs/purged jewelry and makeup/changed sheets, washed sheets & towels/bagged & wrapped Christmas gifts/face mask (Origins charcoal)/Target + CVS/watching Rectify + The Affair + Billions /finished a book and started another/said fuck it and ordered Chinese food for dinner in lieu of cooking
In case you missed it this weekend:
2) camping
A week from now, we'll be post-Christmasing.
That frame is so fun for a family gathering! I meant to start wrapping presents this weekend but it so didn't happen. Oops!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh love the photo frame for a prop...might need to steal that idea for my NYE party! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteI love stuffed peppers! That's so fun that there were photo props at the party this year. Can't wait for the pepper recipe.
ReplyDeleteI randomly came across that book this weekend and then saw it has been on my tbr list since 2014, but I'm so excited to read it at some point (next year). The photo frame is such a fun idea!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a busy weekend! And yay to introducing Lola to Star Wars when she's young. :D Have a great Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThe frame is so cute! I have been craving Chinese lately but I'm trying to hold off until New Year's!
ReplyDeleteChinese food for dinner sounds good. I caved and picked up Chickfila on Friday night and that was the first takeout in a month.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of over meal-prep but I'm really trying. I don't have to do it for two weeks so January will be a rough start.
Lol to MFD with all the food and then passed out.
LOL @ MFD passed out on the couch...he's doing the holidays right.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just gotta order Chinese & call it a day.
ReplyDeleteYummy... I love passing out after eating all the holiday foods! Hope MFD's hands are healing up!!
ReplyDeleteWe did last minute shopping on Saturday with Enzo (Rural King, Lowes), then had breakfast with my parents. We spent all afternoon at home but I was so productive it didn't feel relaxing at all! Ha.
Tell me you love Billions as much as I do.
ReplyDeleteThat photo frame at the party is such a fun idea!
ReplyDeleteYour Saturday morning sounds like perfection, and how fun is that photo frame prop at the party! Such a great idea :-D
ReplyDeleteYour Dad's Christmas party looks like so much fun, especially with all the props! And I still haven't watched Billions! I love the main actor in the movie, and I really want to watch it, but we've just never gotten around to it.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a really fun party! I miss having my family around! Love that red color on your nails, haven't done a mani in ages. Maybe I will sometime this week! :) Yum... Chinese food! We were "snowed in" all weekend... so I literally did not leave my house... and as a busy person.. I can say it was bliss! XO - Alexandra

Potato soup sounds amazing and now I just make my own this week! It is like -2 here so it will be wonderfully warm!
ReplyDeleteI work in a school it is the week before our break with a concert, a party and a crafting day all planned for this week. So tonight we are saying "looks like Chinese food for dinner" The party looks fun but so does the sleeping.
ReplyDeleteI know or at least I think am going to come up as anonymous do I have to have a blog in order for my email to show up as a reader and sometime commenting person?
If you log in with a google account, I think your email shows up with your comment in my inbox. You don't have to have a blog for that.
DeleteI never feel like cooking the week before a holiday!
I want to check out Rectify; looks pretty good. Also, Chinese food + cold weather sounds amazing.
ReplyDeleteLove the frame! How fun! Mmm...chinese food. I think you made a good decision on that one! haha
ReplyDelete-Lauren
Happy Holidays!
I'm a turmeric person too. I'm glad the pugs and I have that in common. Good life choice. ;)
