recent meals

 I made Amish Onion Fritters for The Mister and I as part of Thanksgiving, and those bad boys did not last long at all.  We toasted the leftovers and brushed them with butter and oh dang, they were so good.

I've been craving curry lately, so I made a curry chicken noodle soup that The Girl refused to try, but the rest of us enjoyed it.

                 This was a deeeeelicious Chicken Leek and Bacon pie that we all enjoyed and the leftovers                                                                 were gone within a day.
                                Another smash taco recipe, this time chicken caesar,  Darn delicious.

No photo! but we made Dorie Greenspans coffee muffins, with chocolate chips added for extra deliciousness.

We bought some peppadew peppers and stuffed them with feta for some snacks one day.

Something i like - my new kitchen trivets

 we really don't have much excitement over here lately.  not doing anything interesting, not cooking anything particularly worth sharing.  not even reading much at the moment.  so let me show you my new kitchen trivets.

i saw these  on a tick tok and as much as i am trying to not impulse buy stuff, this one had me.

they are elasticized wooden trivets that when they are on their stand, look like a tree.

can you just even!!!!

absolutely adorable, and would give me a reason to throw away my old disgusting trivets that no longer come clean.


and then....


i mean!!!!!

the cutest ever, and they work very well,  my only wish was that the stand had one more trivet, i think it would look even cuter.

but still, so gosh darn cute.
