Wanting to know you Wens.

Lately, I've been craving a good casserole.  Here's an easy one I made the other night when i was craving comfort food : 

i snapped a photo to show my momma i successfully made this recipe she gave me and my belly couldn't help but make an appearance. And yes, i live in husband's undershirts these days.

With delivery nearing (so crazy sweet i get to meet my daughter soon!), i'm looking for easy casserole/crock pot dinners we --my husband-- can put together. 

Lovies, help a hungry pregnant girl who doesn't cook out? 

Please leave me your favorite easy recipe in the comments below? (you can also leave a link to pintrest, cooking blog, etc) 

*Even though I'm vegetarian, i can substitute soy products  

i can't wait to read your suggestions and write down recipes on these cute cards Phoenix sent me.

i'm like a kid the night before christmas.

good morning lovies!!! 

i'm up bright and early so i can enjoy breakfast with my darling husband before getting to the airport. eek!!! i am SO EXCITED that by this afternoon i'll be hugging my twinkie again and hanging out with these two {i couldn't even sleep last night!}

before i go, grab your apron and please come me me over at erin's lovely corner of the internet today? xo


{speaking of guest posts, look for the first one of a new guest post series on my dolce vita in just a moment. i'm terribly excited about it too!}

happy things to end the week with.

♥ i fell in love with Emi-Jay hair ties while using claire's in SF. She blogged about how amazing they were before and i should have listened. Cute, sturdy, and won't dent your hair if you decide to take your pony tail down. i instantly ordered Emi-Jay's pearl collection.

♥ i made israeli couscous salad for lunch yesterday and just about ate the whole bowl! delicious and healthy and so easy to make! (i also used yellow tomatoes like the recipe suggested) 

♥ will you look at that face? i'm clearly an auntie who's smitten. my adorable niece sophia who recently turned 4 and already knows how to work the camera. this was at her dance recital.


Happy Friday Lovies!!! what happy things are you ending the week with?
