Yooooo. Happy Sunday! Been a few week since we did one of these. I had a crazy few weeks between traveling to Miami and Vegas and then my birthday weekend and Easter. I still owe a huge thank you to everyone who made my birthday so special! Dave and my roommate and friends and family totally got me with a surprise party. I honestly did not see it coming one bit. My sister came in from Chicago and my best friend even flew in for Denver just for my birthday! I’m still shocked and so so thankful. It really reminded how many people I have in my life that love me and how grateful I am for each of them. I hope each of you reading this know that you are on that list! Thank you!
Anywho.. this week I got a bit back in the groove of things. I went to an event at Keeneland, which got me so excited for Spring meet! If only this weather would cooperate.. This weekend I went to a birthday dinner at Giuseppe’s and to a jazz brunch at Shakespeare & Co. Today was full of a little meal prep and recipe shooting for some tasty things coming your way soon.
Highs & Lows
High: My birthday celebrations oooooobviously.
Low: I know everyone is probably getting sick of people saying it, but I am so. over. the. cold.
Links I Love
For you La Croix peeps… caffeinated sparkling water exists (and it’s made in Louisville!)
Does anyone else eat sweet potatoes at least once a week? I’m digging these sweet potato recipes under 350 calories.
Finally settling the debate if frozen vegetables are as healthy as fresh.
My favorite baking blogger came out with a croissant recipe. I’m a little nervous about this one, but hoping my mom will try and share the love.
Healthy breakfasts under $2.
Whole Foods is having a two month long rosé sale. You’re welcome.
Does anyone actually use vegetable wash? What it is and the argument for why you should use it.
Williams-Sonoma is having a big sale! $50 off Vitamix blenders (my dream), 50% off Wusthof (the knives I have, so worth the investment) and take 20% off one item + free shipping.
Quote of the Week
Go out and plant some flowers this week, friends! All my love!

I love the quote on the letter board! and GIRL yes this snow needs to gtfo! over. it. and fellow sweet potato fan over here…
have you ever tried a sweet potato breakfast bowl? LEGITTTT.
I basically eat a sweet potato hash with eggs on top at least once a week!
OBSESSED with that Keeneland cup! I’m with you on the weather – it’s been brutal. Thanks for letting me know about the rose’! Ha!
Right? I’m so excited we got to keep one!
Oooo I’ve always assumed frozen vegetables were less healthy (partially because I prefer fresh veggies haha), good to know that if flash frozen and left alone, they’re just as good.
Right?! And that way they don’t rot in my fridge…
GIRL! I am about to run to whole foods for that Rose! Also, I had no idea La Croix was made in Louisville, that’s so cool!
I may or may not have spent $90 on rose the other day… oops!
This snow and cold weather has got to go! I’m glad you’ve been making the best of your birthday and the past few weeks even with this awful weather. Happy belated girl!!
Thanks Becky!
The Keeneland event really has me ready for warm weather and races!
That Keeneland event was so fun!! The Keeneland Breeze was so refreshing. But boy, it was so cold that day!
So many good things in one post! Loved following your birthday celebrations–that cake was insane! Jealous of that Keeneland glass and the Shakespeare & Co. Brunch!
THANK YOU for sharing that sparkling water! Sounds amazing! 💖
Yes! Many good things in one post!
