The Little Issues E-newsletter #484 – Life, laughter, and plenty of nice meals!

Welcome to the weekend, my pals! I’m spending this morning meal prepping within the kitchen, after which I’ll be headed out for a stroll this afternoon to absorb extra of the superior pre-fall climate.

ON THE BLOGS THIS WEEK: Pizza and salad may sound like whole opposites, one’s tacky, gooey, and indulgent, whereas the opposite is gentle, crisp, and refreshing. However put them collectively? You’ve bought the very best of each worlds on this pizza salad.

Smoked salmon pasta appears like spring or summer season in a bowl. It’s gentle and lemony with an excellent steadiness of flavors. The lemon cuts via the creaminess, the salmon brings that barely smoky depth, and the pine nuts add simply the best crunch.

Let’s simply get this out of the way in which now, I’m obsessed with this vegetable confetti. For about 15 years now, I’ve saved a ready-to-eat vegetable box in our fridge, and we pull it out a number of instances a day for snacking.

This confetti, however? It’s excellent for tossing with crunchy greens for a lightning-fast salad, or just sauteing a little bit of the combination so as to add to some scrambled eggs or add some to a little bit of ground beef for quick tacos.

If you happen to’re in search of a dinner that’s filled with taste, tremendous easy to prep, and virtually easy to prepare dinner, air fryer Italian chicken goes to be your new go-to.

Crustless coconut pie is an easy custard pie stuffed to the brim with candy bites of coconut. Better of all, it’s really easy to make, the children can stir it collectively in about 5 minutes.

That is the cookies and cream ice cream of my childhood goals. Frosted circus animal cookies dance via each chunk of this animal cookie ice cream.

What I’m CRAVING: Rebecca shared these Greek yogurt brownies final week, and oh my phrase, they appear unbelievable! No eggs AND no butter required, the Greek yogurt does all of the heavy lifting to create these ultra-rich brownies. They’re absolutely calling my title right now. So, you possibly can guess I’ll be attempting them asap.

My FAVORITE THING this week is the brand new Guilty Pleasure Hitster game! If you happen to’ve been enjoying Hitster and loving it anyplace close to as a lot as we now have over the previous yr, you want this enlargement sport. It’s a complete new 300+ songs that aren’t included within the authentic set. We’ve performed via it twice already and are having fun with it each bit as a lot as the unique.

What I’m LISTENING to: Colton Dixon on repeat. I came upon his music through my Forrest Frank playlist, and he’s been a favourite for the previous week or two. My son performs his tune Up + Up nearly each time we’re within the automobile collectively. 

“The Lord bless you and preserve you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord flip his face towards you and offer you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26 NIV

Wishing you a stunning week full of little issues that make you smile!
