Happy SEC Championship Sunday, friends! I’m writing this while listening to the game, so I can’t say if I’m happy or sad yet… but GO CATS regardless. I had a pretty great week! A new team member started at work this week, so I spent a lot of my week training her. I’m excited to have help and a set of fresh eyes on our team. I also went to the release of Pivot Brewing’s Bourbon Barrel Aged Fincastle, which is a cider aged in bourbon barrels. 1. I love cider. 2. I love bourbon, but I don’t really drink liquor anymore because of my pancreas issues, so it was so nice to get the flavor of it in a cider.
This weekend was laid back. Movie night and frozen pizza Friday night. I gave up takeout/delivery for lent and it’s only been hard on Friday nights! I miss you Donatos… I went to a Level Up photography class by Honey Heart Photography on Saturday. I’m trying to up my photography game for y’all, and this class was a good start. Afterwards I grabbed lunch at Minton’s, which was so tasty that I’m mad at myself for not checking it out earlier. I continued the trend and finally checked out School’s new location for dinner.
Highs & Lows
High: I have a cool work project going on for Pi Day raising money for Feeding America and so far the video has 30,000 views. Share it on Facebook here!
Low: It seems like it’s stopped raining, but I am just so over the cold. I’m in in a Spring state of mind and need the weather to catch up to me 😉
Links I Love
Lexingtonians! I shared everywhere you should celebrate St. Patrick’s Day on the blog earlier this week.
I’m obsessed with reading about people’s morning routines. What 16 successful people do in the morning.
As if I didn’t already want to be Chrissy Teigen, she brought an emotional support casserole on a flight.
I know I’m not the only one obsessed with Target/Joanna Gaine’s Hearth & Hand. I think I’m snagging this coral striped pitcher, this wooden serving bowl and these measuring cups. Also I don’t need a new doormat at all, but this one is only $12.99 and so cute.
Five dietitians weigh in on the one nutrition tweak you should make.
Portugal was already on my bucket list, but even more so now that I know it majorly influenced Harry Potter.
Did you know yesterday was National Ranch Dressing Day? Enter Buttermilk Ranch Pancakes.
Golden Girls Hot Sauce now exists.
And meal prepping ideas from a nutritionist.
Quote of the Week
Just a little reminder to not hold yourself back. Hope y’all have a great week! I’m headed to Bristol, TN, for a quick work trip tomorrow and then hopefully a lot of St. Patrick’s Day eats this week.
Biscuits & blessings,
Leels
