Happy Saturday to you!

I hope that you have a fun/relaxing weekend ahead!

Here are four little things that made my week.

{This peanut butter. I was so disappointed when I realized I was out on Monday morning, when I was already set on having it on my English muffin. I solved the problem by mixing up some of my own in my mini food chopper!}

{This kitty. Greg keeps telling me that I need to stop posting only sweet and sleepy photos of Ivy. This was taken right after he pounced on my hand, which was on the opposite side of the box from him. He went through the box rather than over. :)}

{These cherries. A preview of something I’ll share next week.}

{This corn. Same as above. :)}

I’m so happy it’s Friday! I have a weekend filled with things to do and I’m very excited for it to start!

Sorry for not posting yesterday. I had every intention to post and then I had a failed recipe. And then another. But it’s okay — here’s to a day of successful recipes!

Wherever you are and whatever you do this weekend I hope that you enjoy it!

Enjoy, five little things that made my week.

{This. This burger + cheese + lettuce + tomato + mustard + a toasted bun. Made Monday much better.}

{This chocolate croissant. A treat from the farmer’s market. I don’t usually enjoy chocolate + bread things, but I did this.}

It’s hard to believe, but the week following my beach vacation actually went fast! Don’t the weeks after vacation usually drag? I’m so glad that this one went fast and smooth. 🙂

I had several successful recipe attempts this week, which always feels good. I was so excited to share with you these quesadillas and this salad. And, I have several recipes ready for next week that I am so excited to share with you!

I hope that whatever you do this weekend, you enjoy it!

Enjoy, five things that made me smile this week. 🙂

{This kitty. Yep, I missed him. Glad to be back with my little buddy. :)}

The Beach

We’re now back in Philly, after a nice, long, relaxing week at the beach.

I really really didn’t want vacation to end. I just love the beach. I really want to live at one.

I didn’t pick up my camera much during the week. Mornings were filled with coffee and breakfast. Some mornings a bike ride to a coffeeshop. Most afternoons were spent in the sand. Beach bocce and other beach games were enjoyed. No beach game is complete without some beach drinks. After the games, time was spent laying on a towel, listening to the waves and feeling the sand blow across the beach. Nights brought dinner and ice cream.Mini golfing. Some ping pong and more drinks. A night walk on the beach. Also some soothing hot tub time. All the time was spent with beautiful views and family.

Every day was wonderful.

Even though I don’t have many photos, I’ll share what I have. Enjoy!

I’m so happy that it is Friday!

Friday is always a good day, but today, I am leaving for the beach!

Yep, this evening, I’m picking Greg up from campus and we are heading south.

Tomorrow we will fall asleep with the ocean right out of our window and Sunday morning we’ll wake up steps from the sand. Beach vacations are the best.

I wish I was ahead of things and had posts ready for you for next week, but I don’t. The Dreaming Foodie will be back next Monday or Tuesday!

I hope that whatever it is you may be doing this weekend you enjoy!

For now, enjoy five little things that made my week special.

{This lasagna. A creation from Greg and I. It was the best.}

I hope that you have a good weekend and week next week! I’m hoping that where I am and wherever you are the sun is shining!
