Happy Friday Friends! I'm so looking forward to the weekend; I don't have a lot on the schedule, but I have some plans on my to do list. Looking forward to some walks outside in the sunshine, tackling a few projects and relaxing.
#1 Baking
My friend Stephanie and I baked kolaches. She's a pro at it and helped me; we split these up for the July 4th weekend. Red (raspberry), White (cream cheese) and Blue (poppy seed). They were all so good and disappeared quickly this week. These were so easy! Just Rhodes dinner roll dough and Solo pastry filling. We did make the topping and cream cheese filling from scratch.
#2 Health
Getting back on the health and wellness track. I had a skin check at the dermatologist which I haven't done in 10+ years. I went to a new clinic and it was a little bit of a drive (about 90 miles), but I really liked the staff. All good news! Yay!
I also did my Caroline Girvan Iron program workouts twice this week, cold plunged twice and used the sauna once. My goal is to get more consistent with this whole category because I feel so much better and sleep so much better doing these things. Definitely a favorite when something leaves you feeling better!
#3 Garden
Well it wouldn't be a blog post without some mention of the garden. Picked loads of our green chilies and jalapenos and roasted them. We just roast them in over a propane fire in our roaster then vacuum seal and freeze them. They're great to use chopped up on burgers, in salsa in the winter, thrown in beans, etc. It's rained almost every day this week, so there hasn't been much other gardening happenings.
#4 Taco Trucks
Gosh I love a good taco truck! We have a permanent one it seems in town now and I tried their beef quesadilla. So, so good and I love supporting a small business!
I love the fresh limes and cucumber they include!
I hope y'all have a fabulous weekend!
Those kolaches look so good! I had never heard of them before so my son ( a college culinary/baking student) and I feel down a Google rabbit hole reading all about them. I have yet to find any sort of handmade pastry/ sweet bread that I don't like! I like all of Caroline's workouts; even if can't ever seem to lift nearly as much weight as she does.
ReplyDeleteGood job with the baking, what yummy treats!
ReplyDeleteThat is good news about the skin check and it sounds like your garden is doing well. We need some rain here, there hasn't been enough over the last few months.
