A Week Of Our Dinners---July 2017.

Happy Monday Everyone, and I hope you all had a great weekend.


I've decided to try a bit different of a post for me today, and it's something that's obviously going to shift away from my usual bookish content.


Over the last almost two years, I've mainly focuses on bookish posts, with sharing the occasional other content once in awhile.


Books are definitely still going to be the main content of my blog, but I thought it might be fun once in awhile to share some other content as well.


I'm not sure how much I've mentioned about this before, but I'm also a huge fan of planning, cooking, household managing, budgeting-you name it basically lol, as well, I'm also a big fan of fashion content as well.


One of my favorite type of blog post or youtube video is when people post a week's worth of their dinners, as since I love cooking I love getting new and creative dinner ideas, and so I decided to be inspired to post my own week of our dinners post on my blog today. 


I
I hope you guys enjoy getting to see what I made for dinner each night this week, and if anyone's interested in the recipes I used, I'll definitely be able to link them as well. 


Sunday Night: 




On Sunday night, I made my favorite Spanish rice recipe. This one is my own recipe that I combined from my Grandma's recipe growing up, with a recipe my mom found in a magazine almost thirty years ago. There were bits and pieces I liked of each, and so I combined it and made my own instead.

To go with it, I also made cornbread muffins, since Neil is a cornbread connoisseur, and I got this amazing recipe from pinterest. 


Monday Night:


Monday was a loooong day at work for both Neil and I, so I decided to go with one of my favorite stand by's, breakfast for dinner. I made eggs in the shape of Mickey which we had on English muffins with cheddar cheese, and I whipped up some waffle iron homemade hashbrowns which were amazing. As well, we'd gotten some delicious oranges from the grocery store, so we each had half an orange with our breakfast. 



Tuesday Night:






On Tuesday night, I tried a new recipe for a creamy Ranch pasta in the slow cooker which was amazing, and I served it with steamed veggies. 



Wednesday Night:



Wednesday night I decided to make up another batch of homemade veggie burgers, and this time I tried experimenting with Romano beans instead of black beans like I usually use, and then adding in lots of extra veggies. I also made our favorite broccoli salad, and we just had some chips to go with it. 


Thursday Night:


On Thursday night we made Taco French Bread Pizza, which was another recipe I'd seen on pinterest, although I altered it by using soy crumbles instead of traditional taco meat. 


Friday Night:


Friday night I made sweet and sour cauliflower with rice, and this was amazing! I literally have been craving this again ever since.



Saturday Night:


Saturday night I made a baked alfredo pasta dish, with canned beets my mother in law sent us from her garden, garlic bread, salad and green beans.


Sunday Night:


Lastly, Sunday night I made vegetarian sloppy joes in the slow cooker, which are always one of our favorites, and I decided to go ahead and make this broccoli salad again since we love it, and it's definitely a go to summer recipe for us.



I hope you guys enjoyed seeing what I made for dinner, and seeing a slightly different post from what I normally do.



I hope your weeks off to a great start, and I'll see you back here on Monday for another bookish themed post!

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books .  For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...

First Line Friday: The Inheritance

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all had a great week and that you're staying safe no matter where you are. I haven't been leaving my house much lately other than for work, and because of this, I've had lots of reading time on my hands. Last year my hubby and I took a road trip that included a visit to our favorite bookstore, and we decided to each pick a book that wouldn't be our first choice. The purpose was to try and read something that still interested us, but would maybe be a bit different than what we would typically go for first. My pick ended up being The Inheritance by Michael Phillips, a book I actually ended up being quite excited about, despite never having heard of it prior. Unfortunately, it ended up sitting on my bookshelf ever since, and I'm so thankful I finally got the opportunity to pick it up and start reading it this past week. The Inheritance by Michael Phillips: About the Book: The death of the clan patriarch h...

Happy Friday Friends :) There's so many reasons I'm excited that it's once again Friday. I'm excited to be taking part in another edition of First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books , but I'm also excited to be featuring one of my favorite author's new releases for this week's edition. First Line Friday simply consists of sharing the first line from the book you're currently reading, and today I'm going to be sharing from Mandi Blake's new book, which released last week. Remembering the Cowboy by Mandi Blake: About the Book: They have unfinished business. She just can’t remember what it is. Camille Vanderbilt is headed back home to Wyoming with one goal: find her old best friend and give him a piece of her mind for ghosting her six years ago. She won’t let anyone stand in her way… until a deer runs into the road and causes her to wreck and forget almost everything. Noah Harding lives a simple life as a firefighter and rancher until Camille cras...
