Every day I am bringing in more tomatoes, squash, peppers, herbs… I mean don’t get me wrong, I love having fresh vegetables and herbs right outside my door, but good lord.

    Happy Friday everyone! I hope that you all have had a fabulous week and are gearing up for your weekends. May not be a long weekend like this past one, but still a weekend right? I have been doing my best to get caught up this week on lots of things from being away. Work, bills, friends, my blog! Man oh man…I feel like I haven’t been posting regularly and it feels so weird haha. I am sure some of you know what I am talking about. If you go on vacation or are away and you don’t post things or aren’t around to look at other recipes, it feels…
