The Weekend Edit: April 9, 2021

Hey, everyone! How was your week? We had spring break, but our family did not go anywhere. We chose to stay home and clean the house. Guess how much of our house got cleaned? So little we should have just gone on vacation. We should’ve known better!

Anyway, here are a few links I’ve come across the past couple weeks that caught my interest. Enjoy!

Recipe of the Week:

Tuscan Chicken Linguine: We made this for my in-laws when they came over a few weeks ago after becoming fully vaccinated and we had it again this week. We used this recipe for the Tuscan heat spice blend:  4 parts basil (dried flakes), 2 parts rosemary (dried flakes), 2 parts oregano (dried flakes), 2 parts garlic powder, 1 part “low heat” cayenne pepper, 1 part ground fennel.
