The Little Issues Publication #382 – Life, laughter, and plenty of nice meals!

Welcome to the weekend, my pals! My buddy Christi is on the town and we’re headed to The Farm at Walnut Creek this morning. She’s the most important animal lover I do know and she or he’s about to lose her thoughts over all of the animals. I can hardly wait. (If you happen to dwell anyplace close to Central Ohio, put this in your must-do record. It’s simply a lot enjoyable.)

ON THE BLOGS this week: Layered with crispy tater tots, gooey cheese, savory sausage, and fluffy eggs this Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole has earned thumbs up across the desk each time I serve it. There are not often any leftovers.

Buttery, garlicky shrimp with loads of vibrant lemon is one thing I can by no means get sufficient of. I’ve a tough time resisting consuming these Garlic Butter Shrimp straight out of the pan every time I cook dinner them!

The earthy flavors of completely crispy, Roasted Potatoes and Broccoli are a splendidly easy aspect dish that pairs brilliantly with all of my favourite dinners.

Sauteed sausage pairs superbly with the marginally candy peppers and crisp zucchini on this flavorful Sausage Zucchini Skillet.

Crispy, Cheesy Roasted Potatoes are coated in a mouth-watering mix of garlic, herbs, and melted cheese, making these taters the MVP of consolation meals.

Succulent peaches and heat, fluffy pancakes, what’s to not love? These Peach Pancakes are a breakfast lover’s dream come true.

Juicy, sun-ripened peaches mingle with the sweetness of recent blueberries beneath a heavenly brown sugar crust on this Peach Blueberry Crisp. That is one dessert price daydreaming over.

Designed to imitate store-bought forms of Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, this taste captures the timeless mixture of refreshingly cool mint and indulgent chocolate chunks with that vivid inexperienced hue everyone knows and love.

What I’m CRAVING: This Sausage Potato Soup sounds so good proper now. I completely love the chilly mornings and nights which have lastly arrived. Convey on soup season!

My FAVORITE THING this week is Oscar’s fish oil. How’s that for a random favourite? Our candy black canine has the softest coat ever and this fish oil retains it so very shiny and clear. I simply re-ordered it yesterday and realized I’d by no means shared it with you. We tried a number of totally different manufacturers and varieties (capsules and oil) and eventually got here to the conclusion that this model, initially from our vet, was the very best.

What I’m LISTENING to: Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman. This audiobook is produced by Soundbooth Theater and when you’ve by no means skilled certainly one of their reads, you’re lacking out. I’ll inform you now that this e book isn’t for the faint of coronary heart or if there are numerous issues in your could-be-offended record. (No judgment right here, simply warning you.) That is LitRPG at it’s very absolute best and it’s hands-down our favourite pay attention. Sean, my brother, my older son, and I’ve all listened to the sequence and laughed hysterically.

What I’m READING: Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. That is Louis Zamperini’s story and it’s introduced vividly to life by the creator. I don’t suppose phrases might higher describe this e book than to cite this reviewer, “one-in-a-billion story . . . designed to wrench from self-respecting critics all of the adjectives we usually attempt to keep away from: It’s wonderful, unforgettable, gripping, harrowing, chilling, and provoking.”

“Be nonetheless, and know that I’m God.” Psalm 46:10 NIV

Wishing you a stunning week filled with little issues that make you smile!
