What's Happening

We left beautiful, warm Hawaii yesterday and headed home to Chicago. Yes, I'm writing this in advance as it's an overnight flight. We are grateful that it's not bitter cold at home, but having to add pants and layers just seems "wrong", lol. I love not having to wear a coat!

We had a "winter" week in Hawaii where the temps were in the 70's, but it rained almost every day. Hubby and I tried to escape the rain by driving around the island and having fun where it was dry. We had a chance to get to the beach one day and finish up any shopping for items we love bringing home.

We ate at our favorite restaurants and food trucks. We drank coffee at our favorite trucks and bakeries. Yes....this island has the best food trucks! Some of the best chefs are in the trucks. If you are following me on Instagram, you will see that we also ate at some really nice restaurants.

I will be back in the kitchen this coming week and I have a lot of deliciousness coming your way!

  • I am a huge fan of Ceylon Cinnamon. I love the smooth taste and how it bakes up goodies. Sri Lanka is where this cinnamon is grown and because of climate change they are struggling. I typically buy my spices fromBurlap and Barrel and have a jar of the cinnamon on hand.
  • This blanket looks so cozy! I added it to my cart for my office.
  • Do you use a red light mask? I hear that they are wonderful but I haven't tried one yet. This one is on sale so I may try it. I would love to hear your thoughts!
  • How to keep banana's from going brown. This is a terrific article.
  • I am totally into soft and comfy. These pants are in my cart! Speaking of soft and comfy, I realized this week that I needed to replace underwear, lol. I am trying the Embliss ones from Soma.
  • I bought these jars from Target. Not only are they good for overnight oats, but they are good for salad dressings or other condiments.
  • My Apple watch is old and flaking out this week. I am looking at getting this watch as a replacement.

I was so excited to share this Pistachio Ricotta Cake with you! It's a new recipe, and I hope you enjoy it. Starbucks has new menu items that include pistachios so here are a few pistachio recipes for you to try.
