Weekend Wonders from the Pantry

I had a quite lovely weekend which consisted of food, food, puppies, friends, chickens, and food. It was welcome.

I hosted a little dinner party with some of my go-to Nashville blogger friends. It’s so nice to be around friends who won’t judge you for taking pictures of every single aspect of your meal. They might, however, judge me for taking candid photos of them taking photos:) Sorry Mary, I couldn’t resist this one.

The dinner party itself is a colab that I’m doing with one of my new go-to food bloggers, Sara from Cake Over Steak, and I can’t wait to share all of it with you soon!

Right as my guests arrived I remembered that the chickens were still running around in the backyard and I needed to get them back in their baby chick home or else I’d worry about them all night.

^^^This is Ursula. She is named this because she is the meanest of all the chickens. Worth a second batch her anyways.

That tarp covered thing is their almost finished chicken coop. It simply needs a roof and the finished run attached. OH and some paint. I can’t wait to paint it! Hopefully they’ll be in their new home by this weekend.

The only bad part of my weekend is the cold that I acquired. By Sunday morning I had a full blown sinus headache that left me wanting to do nothing but sleep. This worked out as all of my plans for the day were pretty much canceled due to storms and rain. So, I enjoyed a quiet, lazy Sunday in with leftovers and lots of puppy cuddles.

And y’all, I bought my first succulents and officially joined the succulents fan club (not a real thing (that I know of)). I want 800 more of these all around my house now!

Well friends, that’s all. I hope your weekend was as lovely as mine. I hope you feel well rested, well fed, and ready to take on the week!
