My Inspiration

April 19th

My inspiration this week.

• What I was listening to this week. Texas, tequila, and all things BBQ with Glen Powell on The Martha Stewart Podcast. Celebrating the launch of his new affordable organic condiments. His belief in making healthy food accessible and how he entertains his family and friends on his Texas Ranch.

• What I've been watching. Your Guide to Designing a Charming Cottagecore Kitchen. So inspiring. 

• A recipe that got my attention. Crock Pot Garlic Potatoes at Recipes Worth Repeating.

• My favorite product The Pink Stuff the miracle all-purpose cleaning paste. Loving how it cleans and shines my stove top.

• I purchased this week: Better Home and Gardens Tritan Plastic Wine Goblets in Blue. They are perfect for the patio, and you won't have to worry about breaking glass. Serve a glass of wine, a parfait, or even ice cream. Those are my plans.
  

• What am I making this weekend. Hummingbird Bundt Cake. Filled with pineapple, cream cheese & bananas.

My inspiration this week.

• I visited Beth at Home Stories A to Z for the first time this week.  I believe a truly beautiful home is more than just a culmination of well-decorated spaces. "Home" is a reflection of the stories and personalities who fill it with life. She has a beautiful blog.

• What am I reading this week, Southern Living Magazine. Always a favorite.

• What am I loving this week. Black gutters. They just started installing them this week on my new home. It was a great color choice. It's like black eyeliner for the house. 😁

• What was my favorite purchase this week, iRobot Roomba vacuum and mop combo. I have fur babies and I work full time. Vacuuming and mopping every evening is really not the way I want to spend my evenings. This has been a breeze, and my floors are clean!

•  I visited Raquel on Organized Island. She featured Easy No Bake Mini Easter Cheesecakes. They are colorful and so pretty. 

• This week I need to plan what I am serving for Easter Brunch. I think Cottage Cheese Pancakes may be one of the breakfast items. Years ago, I changed it up and went from Easter Dinner to Easter Brunch. I was inspired by my friend Darian, who started this tradition in her home. In years past, I've invited friends or just the family, and it has been a big hit. Now that I think about it, my friend Debbie, whom we lost to covid, used to fix a beautiful egg casserole for her Easter brunch. Which reminds me, what am I grateful for seeing Debbie's smile.

My inspiration this week.

• Anna on Sutton Place is offering some lovely Easter Printables. You can see them here.

• Walking on Sunshine has some side dish recipes that your Easter Table needs. They look so good. You can get the recipes here.

• Mommy Hates Cooking  is featuring her Easy Dill Pickled Deviled Eggs. So creamy looking. Click here for the recipe.

• Why at Easter time do we have a popular dish that is called deviled? I had to look it up. Yes, it has two wildly different meanings, but the one I am looking for is "To season highly".

•  I was introduced a few months ago, to a new devotional app that the podcast Girls Gone Bible was encouraging. The app is called Glorify. It is a #1 Christian Devotional App and you can read about it here.

• This week I will be heading over to Etsy and will share with you some of my favorite finds.
