I have a gross cold today & it had made me not want to do anything at all. That could be why these favorites are mostly food & comfort based. Sometimes you just need a cuddly day.
newly discovered "I do not want to cook dinner" idea - very yummy!! - $3 at Target + chicken/corn/beans/lettuce
the best kind of pasta noodles, well ok, it is the cheap brand, but I love shells
yum yum it is that time of year again
best blanket ever. $12 on sale at Target right now
not only is it the softest thing ever, it is long too!!
the best water bottle of all time = camelbak (it also helps that this one is from Austin City Limits!!)
Last but not least (& very unrelated to being sick) are my Ikea recycling bins!!
a place for everything & everything in a place - $7 at Ikea
They snap together so they can be used independently or all joined together like we have them. They hang out on the top of our front loading dryer in our pantry. Since it is so close to the kitchen it is easy to just toss stuff in there instead of throwing it out. Now we just really need to take it all to the recycling center.

Shell pasta is amazing. I’m glad someone else loves it as much as I do. And that blanket looks awesome.

i think it is because shell pasta “holds” so much goodness – ex: cheese in mac & cheese & yes, it is my new favorite blanket. totally recommend everyone gets one!!

Amazing blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely confused .. Any ideas? Thanks a lot!

Thanks!! I would just stick to a free platform like WordPress when you are just getting started (that is what this blog is). I like WordPress because it is pretty easy to use/navigate. It also has lots of different options as far as “themes” go so you can still personalize it quite a bit.
I am still pretty new to blogging too. I think my best advice would be just do not give up – write what you love. At least that is what I do ; )
