books, music, recipes, tips, What's New This Week

Last week was a good one, but went by way too fast! Here’s to another seven great days…just a bit slower.

Listening:

• johnnyswim (some seriously talented and beautiful people in L.A.) 
• The Swell Season 
• The Descendants soundtrack (I’m pretending my white carpet is a Hawaiian beach)

Reading:

• 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess (by a local Austin author, Jen Hatmaker)

Learning:

• The donation values for The Salvation Army and Goodwill (itemize your receipts for tax time!)

Making:

• White Chicken Chili (if you haven’t tried this, print out the recipe card below and get cookin!)
• Black Bean and Sweet Potato Tacos with Quick and Easy Corn Tortillas
• Pizza-stuffed Pretzels (one:one sub for gluten-free flour)
• Brown Rice Pasta with Rosted Veggie Blender Pasta Sauce
• Quinoa Burgers
• Lacto-Fermented Dill Pickles
• Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Pudding (FULL of omega 3′s!)

Doing:

• Finally hanging things on the walls! We have one lonely frame hanging in the hallway. The pictures are from when Sweet Girl T was seven months old…just so we’re clear, that was two years ago. Ya, I need someone to help me decorate.
