Individual deep dish chocolate chip cookies....

Happy Saturday! I wait for this day all week and then when it's here all I want to do is eeeek out every last minute. Sten and I stayed in last night to watch the OPENING CEREMONIES with what Matt Lauer said some 1 billion other viewers. We are easy to please and I loved every second of it (besides falling asleep through some of the D- J countries). One thing I was really disappointed in was the lack of Spice Girl representation in the 60's- 2000's music dance off. I think they really missed the mark there.
About half way through, I whipped up a Pinterest recipe I have been wanting to try since I pinned it last week- Individual chocolate chip cookie- warm, gooey, fast, DANGEROUS!


These are LEGIT! Sten and I couldn't believe it. I made them during a commercial break! That's why they are dangerous :)
I found the recipe here, and then tweaked it a little because I think her ramekin is a little larger than ours. Here's what I did to make two:
1.5 TB butter, melted
1.5 TB white sugar & brown sugar
few drops of vanilla
1.5 egg yolks
1/3 C flour
3 TB chocolate chips.
mix. divide into 2 ramekins and microwave for 60 seconds.
enjoy warm....


 Other weekly things: Sunday night was the Bachelorette finale and since then I have become OBSESSED with Jef and Emily. I follow both of them on instagram, and I can't get enough of their cuteness! I really think they are going to make it!
Sten and I have a Sunday night tradition of making homemade pizza. We seriously have it every Sunday night- and when there's something like 'After the Final Rose' to keep you entertained, life is GOOD.
On Wednesday after yoga, I came home to lemon garlic tilapia and veggies smelling delicious from the hallway. Sten has really been pulling out all the stops lately. I don't know what I did to deserve this kind of rock star treatment, but I sure do appreciate it!
On Thursday I met Rita at I Monelli for dinner and a catch up session. When you think of a woman in your life that has challenged you, shaped you, loved you and been there through a lot of awkward years- that's Rita for me. We tried a few new things off the menu and sat in the restaurant for hours. It was so fun to catch up.
Yesterday after work I ran home and got caught in a massive sunshower downpour! I felt so great running through the rain, I think it was my best time yet! Then I walked in the door to THESE on the kitchen table:
Flowers, my FAVORITE chocolates from bejio and the sweetest card. I am one lucky girl, I mean, look at that face:
I love him so.

Happy Saturday. Please make the chocolate-chip-delight-indiviual-deep-dish-wonders!

the last drops of summer

  Heading back to school today as Sten goes back to church as well. The last few weeks flew as fast as the first part of summer and I am in total denial that this is all over. We had the best summer and I wish we could do it all again.  Lots of sleepy children these last couple weeks. Late night and days FULL. We feel so lucky that we got to pack so much in.  Here's a recap of the last drops of summer. Jessica and I took the girls camping. We had the greatest time hiking hanging by the campfire, finding coffee in marine on the St. Croix and sleeping in the camper. These 2 found matching lounge shorts which were a COMPLETE necessity.  Mom and dad came out for dinner one night, which was a real treat It still feels like a dream that my sister and I both have 11 year-old girls. How lucky could I be??? I’m a full on sourdough fanatic again. Get ready for lots of sourdough bread pictures While Sten was out fishing with his brother and friends. I hosted lots of friends! On...

Sliders

Remember when I used to be a food blogger?? I don’t have time for that anymore, but I’m so glad that some people do. This recipe in particular is such a crowd pleaser it needs a permanent spot on my blog. And if you make it. Let me know.  It takes less than 20 mins from start to finish and my kids all ate it. No complaints.   Sliders: 1 lb ground chicken 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs 1 tsp each:garlic powder/ onion powder/ chili powder 2 tsp paprika  1/2 tsp salt Mix.  Make into 8 patties Bake on parchment paper at 425 for 15 minutes.  DONE!  I also understand why I never took off as a food blogger. My pictures are terrible and so un-appetizing. But I truly thought I would make it big.  I’m fairly certain I couldn’t have fit more in this weekend if I tried. But it was a great one full of lots of good things. as we start our first full week of school my prayer is that I can let the little things slide and make some memories with my family. Got in 10 m...

Other things.

In other news: I’m labeling this blogpost “other things” bc there’s a lot that doesn’t fit together and since this is the only way I can remember my life, I must document things.  First: Andrea gave me her race bib for the TC 10 mile. I feel so excited about this. I didn’t know how sad I was not to participate this year until she asked if I wanted her spot and my heart took a ginormous leap! Today I did 4x800’s and it felt SO good.  This loon was fun to watch the other day. I am completely obsessed with loons.  This was: 🥹 but also, I sing a lot at preschool. So I feel like it kind hit, and kinda didn’t.  Badland babes starry morning run. Always a highlight of my week.  Did I already mention that we got to see Great Grandma Kay the other day? If so, well, she gets a double spot on the blog bc she is so sharp and she still pulls sig up on her lap even at 100 yrs old.  Sorry for the sideways. But this was a very good read. It followed 4 people from various b...
