Hello and give a hearty welcome to Friday!
You know what’s nice when you’ve had a week that feels like a month? Simple dinners that add that comforting touch. For me, that usually leads to pasta. Carbs fix most everything, am I right? That’s why I’m so glad I froze a few cubes of basil pesto to pull out of the freezer, warm in some olive oil, and toss with grocery store ravioli. Paired with romaine tossed with my Caesar dressing, and dinner—with a sigh of comfort—was ON!
My husband always has music on so I usually end up listening to what he does. But I’ve been getting the itch to expand my musical horizons and tune in to something new. Hence, this list of the 50 best albums of 2024 is on my must-delve-into list.
My college friends and I have talked about creating a retirement commune (kind of kidding not kidding) to support one another when we will really need it. But this group isn’t waiting and their idea of co-housing is kind of interesting!
How much is too much or too little? Here’s how much you should be tipping now.

This cheddar cheese was named the best in the world (and you can find it at the grocery store).
This winter Caesar salad is precisely what I’m craving for lunch these days.

Love this wintery riff on a panzanella salad.
I adore my baked brie recipe for holiday parties, but how cute are these mini upside-down versions?
This noodle soup looks so slurpable.
And, I’m excited to try this vegetarian version of one of my favorite soups.
Oh man, I would devour a bowl of this yumminess right now.
A creamy, dreamy breakfast casserole (would be great for X-mas morning).
This festive mimosa is all dressed up for Christmas.
Same with these espresso martinis. I’d serve these up when I have my girlfriends over for a Favorite Things party.
These lemon ricotta cookies are definitely going on my holiday baking list.
But how fun are these savory cookies? These would make a great party nibble.
These fig and goat cheese pinwheels also look amazing.
Gingerbread-baked oatmeal sounds like the coziest winter breakfast that I’d be so excited to get out of bed for.
OMG, butter chicken meatballs–I will be making this ASAP.
This spicy chicken looks killer.

How cute are these Christmas glasses?
Obsessed with these cool salad servers in my favorite color.
Digging these jeans (and they’re such a good price).

An easy 30-minute pilates workout I tried and liked the other day (free).

And that’s all for this week! Have a fun weekend and cook something good! 🙂
