Five Little Things

Five Little Things I loved this week:

1. Blueberries

This kind of turned into blueberry week, didn’t it? The pints didn’t last long around here, between the Bakery Style Buttermilk Blueberry Muffins and the Grilled Halloumi Blueberry Salad I shared with you this week. But what you don’t know is that I’ve revisited Blueberry Muesli for breakfast, and I have plans to make Baby Back Ribs with Blueberry Balsamic Barbecue Sauce. Oh, and there will probably be Blueberry Buttermilk Cake, too. Just call me Violet Beauregarde; I may turn into a blueberry!

2. Fresh

How do you store your veggies? Here are some handy tips from HGTV – let me know if you learned something new!

3. Burgers in Wine Country

I had the delicious honor of judging the Sutter Home’s Build a Better Burger’s 25th Annual Cook-Off in St. Helena last night – stay tuned, I plan on telling you all about it!

 

I take my job very seriously so I was more than happy to fast today – I wanted to be ready to help judge this year’s @sutterhomewines #BuildABetterBurger Cookoff!! What could be better than burgers in wine country? My pick for the night won: Sweet and Smoky Spanish Beef Burger with Pickled Saffron Pears! 🍔

4. One Small Note

If we all did just one thing to help out – one tiny thing – it can make a big difference. This adorable ad from goodnessknows shows how one small note can do just that.

5. Chew Funny!

I was in tears this morning. Happy tears! Boy, I haven’t laughed so hard in such a long time. This made my Friday, and I hope it makes yours, too!

Hope the laughter lasts all weekend long!
