Feel Good Stuff
Hi friends!
Sorry I’ve been MIA for the past couple days…
On Thursday I somehow tweaked my back and ended up flat on the couch that evening and most of yesterday.
A few ibuprofens and I am back at ’em for the long weekend.

How about {Mr. White Chocolate}, Adam Brock, on Idol?
L.O.V.E. him.
Hope he goes far. He and his {feel good}, soulful vibe…praying he does Marc Cohn’s Walking In Memphis all the way through ~ adore that song.
I agree, they do need some white chocolate up in this season.
Go Adam!

Need a quick, fun, makes-your-belly-feel-good lunch/dinner?
Make some biscuit pizzas…
Waaaaay better than Bagel Bites!
Saw these on Instagram this week and knew we had to have them for lunch this weekend.
Grab some Grands {flakey} biscuits {8 in a tube}, cut them in half lengthwise {so you have 16…I know, I’m a mathematical genius}, spoon on some pizza sauce {I used Ragu}, throw on a couple pepperonis {or whatever else}, top with queso of choice {I used shredded mozzarella} and bake in a 350* oven for about 15-17 minutes! {note: I used my Silpat and they turned out crispy and nice on the bottom…if you use foil, spray with Pam first or they will stick a little}
The whole family LOVED them {hallelujah!} ~ I won’t tell you how many I ate.
Make them now.
Please.

Tomorrow we’re having some old friends from the Bay Area come visit. They are extra special in that they were really truly our first friends after we moved there in the Fall of ’05. We met in swim lessons ~ Elliott was just 10 months and Charlotte was only 6 months! Crazy….
{waiting for swim lessons to start in their matching bikinis ~ circa mid ’06}
Nancy is one of my dearest friends … I wrote about here here. She and I would shop, plan parties, shop, sample wines for the parties, shop and shop some more. We both love a good party theme and aren’t afraid to carry it out!
Looking forward to sitting, sipping and chatting tomorrow night as it’s been almost 2 1/2 years since we’ve seen them.

All these things have me feeling good on this Saturday!
What’s got you smiling today?

See, I think if you had lunch with us on Thursday, you wouldn’t have thrown out your back
: )
Gonna try those pizzas. Thanks for so many good ideas!

Look at baby Elliot! So adorable… sigh. How the time passes! I hope that you are feeling better..we have had some back issues in this household (as in Ian, laying on the floor, for weeks…, and now has to go to a chiropractor). I am in need of ibuprofen refills!

I know! Can you believe she’s almost seven!?! Yes, thank you! My back is better…luckily it was just for a day or so. I hope Ian is on the mend. You MUST make the sushi bake! Jay and I are hooked! The rice does take some time, but it’s worth it and much easier than rolling it at home! Let me know what you think if and when you try it! Miss you and living closer to everyone! XO
